So your argument is based on your own biased supposition, that he's gonna do what your paranoid little world view suggests to you.
Seeing as though you appointed yourself moderator of this site, even giving scores for posts FFS, I might bail from this conversation with a lunatic before you give me the shits or start scoring my posts. "Ghosts" is on in a minute and I like that show.
We can do this some other time.
Yeah, for sure bloke. It’s my “paranoid little world view” which is responsible for selling everything in Victoria which wasn’t nailed down hey. Certainly not Dan Andrews!

"The Victorian Government has privatised the Land Titles and Registry office, reaping an extra $2.86 billion for the state and giving both political parties more cash to make promises with in the lead-up to the November election."

Ah bugger. Did they then digitise the lot, or have they kept it sane?
Also, did DSDS get a ban?
No idea,
BTW. Im generally for privatisation especially where companies can compete and provide the public a variety of varied services or price structures for example phone companies or electricity companies or provide an additional option to the public system like private hospitals or private schools (even though im not a fan of private schools myself)
But to me privatising this kind of thing is just weird, only one company can provide the service and it's fully linked in with the government.

Re your other question, looks like it.
Starting with Howard, every PM/Gov't since has given away Australia's geological inheritance. Norway proved that even when taxed at nearly 80%, oil companies could still make vast profits. Norway now has enough invested wealth for all its citizens to retire at 50 indefinitely!

I'd give one to Sydney Airport too. International transfers have to go through a security screening, and there are only 2 (TWO!) X-Rray machines to service the whole place. Massive queues, delayed flights, frustrated travellers.
Bloody amateurs.
Oh, and they managed to not load my board bag (which was checked through to NZ for the third time in a row.

Bloody amateurs.Island Bay. I hear you brother. Just came through Sydney this morning and also ten days ago. Both Melbourne and Sydney Airports are a national embarrassment, totally fucked up and lack any system of order. Converse to those two, Jakarta Airport is an exemplar of how to build a fluent airport, well signed, helpful staff and just an amazing building to boot. FAC can go take a look and take a lot of notes.
Yep, I was impressed with Jakarta last time I went through there.
And just a further whinge (sorry): Sydney Airport failed to load my boards yesterday, incl my beloved 6'10 DS, and to add insult to injury AirNZ baggage services put the wrong tag nr in the report we filed at the airport.
So now my boards are somewhere, but can't be tracked. And AirNZ baggage services have a massive phone queue - over an hour so far.
I find it infuriating to not be able to get hold of anybody. Brave new world of deferred responsibility.
All Australian airports need to be in a museum - ‘how did we do airport travel 50 years ago’
Low ceilings in Melbourne top the list for me. I get claustrophobic.
Singapore Changi was always 50 years ahead. Not to mention places like Doha. Flew through Doha few times and it’s super impressive. The magnitude is just on another level, playgrounds for kids, shopping, everything is just 2-3 levels above anything in Australia. Last time on my way to Europe I landed around 6am. I had to catch another flight around 9am and the morning rush was insane. Literally, thousands of people were moving in waves and there were dozens of flights across every single possible destination on the planet. But everything still worked seamlessly, I didn’t see anyone panicking or having any issues. No big lineups, nothing. I was amazed.

Seeing some good stuff by the Labor party (and Biden) at the G20 wrt China. Hopefully it's a new beginning to a more constructive and positive relationship.
Even China's state-owned media Global Times is flirting with having something positive to say. That's nearly unprecedented.

They “discontinued” after they slammed a non violent 80 year onto the ground to hand cuff him. Pathetic! You could hear their worry for themselves, once they realised they’d screwed up, with their nice words and tone after he was handcuffed with a facial injury.
I‘m not condoning what the cops did, but don't you think for a minute he brought a tiny little bit of this upon himself?

My main beef is how the two thugs handled the situation, sure they asked him to move on and he could’ve simply done that . Is this the way police are trained to deal with the frail elderly that won’t do as they are told ? You can win people over by the way you approach them and the manner you speak with them, having a sense of humour and joking with them usually works to getting a better dialogue happening. This old fella is well known and harmless.
There would be plenty of people with an axe to grind over some of friendly jordies topics , he’s playing with fire for exposing some of these crooks . https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-11-23/police-investigate-friendlyjordie...
Would you expect anything less from the N.S.W police,theirs is the most corrupt organisation in Australia ,by far!
Friendly Jordies giving it to the press.

Though it comes at some cost, that street-side presser would've been satisfying.
Reckon this story has the potential to evolve into something extraordinary. For all his personality failings - fuck he can be annoying on camera sometimes* - his work has been among the most important political journalism of the last few years. That it's largely been ignored by the MSM, even when he's handed them leads on a platter, is another unsavoury aspect of the whole carry on.
It doesn't take much to read between the lines: Who's being protected here and why?
If there's CCTV or other clues leading towards someone FJ has investigated then this could blow up in any number of ways. For one, MSM will be pretty much forced to follow the story, perhaps even asking what the motivation was, potentially bringing old news, ignored by the MSM, back into the spotlight, and two, it'll increase FJ's infamy and profile. Daring to go where other journalists wouldn't, he was martyred for the cause. After that, the only way is up.
*His view counts show he has a large and loyal following who don't mind his smarmy schtick. Maybe it's just me.

I find him at times extremely annoying and wish he’d tone his behaviour down a bit . Having said that he’s done some really good stories that if didn’t have some element of truth then he would’ve been sued for everything he’s got . Maybe those that he’s exposed didnt want the media attention if challenging his accusations and simply remained silent therefore avoiding the spotlight. The baddest MP and the prayer room story just faded away without a whisper from the msm. I’ve always thought FJ is a very brave journalist and can’t blame him if he pulls back a bit with everything currently on his plate .
No surprise at all, although for some reason Ive always expected one day to hear of him being stabbed in a pub or night club toilet.
No surprises he lives in Bondi either.
Not into his crusade against corrupt politicans, Indo?

Jesus you come up with some crackers Indo. What thought process brought that comment on??
Indo's shown on multiple occasions that he's ok with violence or death if the victim is of an ideology that he doesn't agree with.
Pretty concerning.

He comes up with some crackers allright.

Because in the mind of the average right wing sociopath on social media, 'owning the left' is more important than human life. Would be interesting to know if Indo would have made the same comment had Jordan Shanks been killed in the arson of his home.
I say 'average right wing sociopath' intentionally Indo because you are 'average' and that comment clearly shows your sociopathy, as do most of your posts. Grow up, the guy was nearly killed, and what does where he lives matter other than your stupid notion that inner city equals woke.
No different from the time @info said he "wouldn't be surprised if motorists took things into their own hands" when condemning peaceful Extinction Rebellion protestors in Melbourne ......... but, unsurprisingly, remained silent** about the violent anti lockdown protests in Melbourne where police and police horses were assaulted.
** accept when he repeatedly defended far right Avi Yemini's BS reporting (??) of the very same violent protests.
geeeeeezzzzz!
its go hard on indod day...
again...
anybody that goes as hard as friendly jordies, it wouldn't be surprisig at all if someoone - some corrupt crook/ politician - resorted to violence...
thats not condoning it
its stating the bloody obvious
(and appreciating friendly jordies is doing fantastic work... whilst the real 'journalists' ...are weak as piss! ...and obviously totally compromised)

100% Just stating the obvious.
Andy either cant read, or reads something but some how by the time it's gone from eyes to brain the translation has changed.
Below is what i said.
No where am i condoning violence.
Jordies obviously pisses people off, some people in high places and people in not so high places and just supporters of politicians or political parties.
Ive always thought he is on a bit of a death wish, of everyone i can think of in any type of media in Australia I think he is the highest at risk then maybe Avi, but while Avi is an agitator in most cases it's targeted at a group or cause and already at people that are under attack like Dan Andrews, Avi I'm sure has people that can watch his back too and has a military background and im sure could look after himself if needed.
Jordie's seems even more reckless and pushes things harder it's like he thinks nothing can happen to him and i highly doubt he could look after himself, he just seems to be like a spoilt rich kid who thinks he can do and say anything without any real risk, which i just dont think is the case in the real world.

Silent???
There was heaps of discussion about them being tossers from me and others i thought they were wankers especially the horse thing.
Gluing yourself to pavements or locking yourself to things is next level though as is breaking into people farms or business, or even worse so called protestors in USA rioting and looting.
There is protest and then there is just people people being a complete nuisance actually trying to piss people off on purpose like extortion rebellion, and when your aim is to piss people off then you should expect for people to actually be pissed off and the reality is people can and do get violent if pushed to far, thats just the reality of life.
BTW. If you want to talk about double standards pepper spray and rubber bullets were used on so called freedom protestors in Melbourne, now imagine if the same was done on protestors like extortion rebellion, imagine the uproar.
Also while i didn't agree with the so called freedom protestors, i get that many were really affected by lockdowns and mandates losing jobs and losing business they were real people affected by real issues, not just the regular feral uni student rent a crowd.

Adam12. Indo has no thought processes thats his problem, he’s a mindset shifter. He doesn’t think before writing his posts, he’s just a regurgitator of very ordinary ill informed (mainly right wing garbage with subtle but hurtful undertones) towards people, often less privileged than himself, I read (boring) all of his garbage, its the same, same, but slightly different and he loves to put people or groups down, especially our own First Nations people. I do often wonder why he bothers writing, but i know why, he’s so adamant and hell bent on attempting to get people to agree with him, otherwise why would produce voluminous pages of rubbish. How does his wife tolerate such an oracle ?
You know the interesting thing about the left is they love to diss others.
I was looking through Jordies videos and he has three videos purely aimed at attacking Avi.
I searched Avi's channel and he has none attacking Jordie's, because it would just be a kind of lame thing to do, even though it would be quite easy to play tit for tat.
You see it here too, so many of you love to attack and degrading me rather than debating my views.
It's weird the left claims the right are so hateful, but the right are generally hateful of the lefts ideas not people so much, but with the left its always about degrading individuals or trying to silence people.
Indo cannot be cancelled!
No matter his allusions/illusions/delusions.
