What a mess of a time we live in when a state police department and national broadcaster act with such impunity.

A fair point, I should have specified former member of organised crime. Especially since they still seem to care about their standing with current organised criminals.

Oh yeah fishy shit is happening in multiple states. Never mind in NT the attorney general has a relative get off with a slap on the wrist for running someone down and then bragging about it after the fact; is now trying limit freedom of information request on politicians. Nothing odd there.

  • Man foi is continually being rolled back. Ots the kind of thing that i'm not sure politicians should have control over. A bit like elections, or monetary policy.

    I suppose one difference is that its sonewhat self policing, no Party should want to get rid of it completely, because they rely on that mechanism to attack the Party in power. But wheres the line on that, and if overwhelming majoritys/senators are convinced to make a reduction in access its almost impossible to see it rolled back.

    I agree somewhat but only for former members where it’s apparent they no longer have ties to that world. Like those videos you see of former professional criminals explaining how stuff works. Usually it’s because they’ve been arrested and given evidence against their former “colleagues” and/or have long been away from that life. This doesn’t appear to be true for Mahmood.

    However, it's important to remember the guy making all the accusations is untrustworthy so we will need to wait to see how much is true.

    What Jordan? How is he the is guy untrustworthy in this? The same crime family that attempted to have him killed is the family this “journalist” still has ties to??
