#firebombed — Public Fediverse posts

Comedian, provocateur, YouTuber, muckraker & investigative journalist #JordanShanks (aka #friendlyjordies) had his house #firebombed a couple of months ago. A long list of powerful interests have plenty of motive, given his history of exposing #corruption & abuses of power in NSW politics. (NSW is an Australian state with 8m people, 5m in #Sydney.)

Shanks has targeted many of NSW's major industries: #coal, #banking, #construction, #media, #realestate, #gambling, #logging. He's been sued by a mining magnate #billionaire & a member of the state executive. He's exposed links between organised crime & the executive, shown how easy #moneylaundering is, triggered parliamentary questions about #NSWpolice abuses, & played a not-insignificant role in bringing down a popular premier & her deputy, almost causing a rift between the two parties that form a Coalition government in NSW. He's also covered corruption in federal parliament.

At times, he has been nasty, misogynistic, racist & ableist. He's unashamedly partisan (pro-ALP). But there's no denying that while still in his 20s he has become a significant figure in #NSWpol and #Auspol, whose influence has been felt across many fields.
