Maybe we need to take a chill pill on #datacentres as the government has it covered?

f you think One Nation is serious about cutting migration, it's worth looking at how they actually vote, not just what they say. This breakdown digs into voting records, political strategy, and the billionaire-backed narratives shaping Australia's debate on immigration.
Watch before taking the slogans at face value.

Four Corners has long been regarded as the ABC's flagship investigative journalism program – and often Australia's premier current affairs show.
Yet there are several strong arguments why it no longer fully deserves that top-tier status. -

In which Van Badham, nearly, oh! so very nearly, lands a criticism of the #ALP.
Somebody send #FriendlyJordies over to commiserate/re-educate. The old order is rupturing!

@ecoscore Yeah, fair point. But let's be real: most of those outlets are niche, subscriber funded, or comedy shows scrapping for survival. The big players (Nine, News Corp, even the ABC at times) are too busy pulling punches, chasing clicks, or cosying up to power.
Then there's Friendlyjordies. Solo act. No corporate leash. He's out here dropping long form deep dives with actual receipts, digging into Angus Taylor's water rorts and breaking down the Liberals' slow motion suicide pact. Real research. Real footage.
It's not that the others aren't doing good work. It's that a YouTuber who's been firebombed and threatened for telling the truth is often the only one going full throttle on the rot, because he doesn't have advertisers or access to lose.
That's where Australian journalism is in 2026.
Still, respect to every indie holding the line. We need more of them. Not fewer. -
It's genuinely sad that in 2026 Australia, the only place doing real, no bullshit journalism is a youtuber.
While the ABC & corporate press tiptoe around Liberal Party corpse-flogging, friendlyjordies just drops the receipts on Angus Taylor as the new opposition leader and why it's the final nail in their coffin. -

5 years for firebombing #FriendlyJordies house in North Bondi with the judge asking the police why the accused was not questioned about whether someone ordered the hit. Why did the ABC choose not to investigate? #auspol #NSWpol

Big news!
I have just published my first peer-reviewed article from my PhD research!
In this article I formulate a democratic functions approach to defining public interest journalism. I then apply this definition analysing the YouTube channel friendlyjordies.

It turns out Peter Dutton was in the Queensland Police at the time that Fitzgerald Enquiry was finding all sorts of corruption in the police force and Queensland government #auspol #friendlyjordies

Just watched a video on how decisionmaking in Australian government works.
For politiical history which is so often a dry topic Friendly Jordies can tell a hell of a yarn. Great channel.

'senior Labor figures who asked not to be named' (https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/07/08/fatima-payman-senior-labor-figures-leaks/)
The useless fuckers dishing the dirt on Senator Payman for the sole reason that (gasp, oh my pearls!) she worked with #TheGreens.
We need wikileaks more than ever. Someone should name and shame these useless fuckers.
Off the record, I have video of the entire front bench fucking a pig's skull, and partying at the Lodge during lockdown with Woodside Petroleum's CEO, naked except for swastika armbands. Oh wait, no, that was a fever-dream. But, I #AskedNotToBeNamed, so, it's all OK, right?
Right.
Hello, hello? #FriendlyJordies you still there? Shhhh, I think I hear something rustling ... no. It was a rat.

Sad that #friendlyjordies has been silenced and it now seems unlikely anyone will get to the truth of the affair.
I migrated here from a country which was (and still is) ruled by fear. I hoped that #Australia would be better.

Anyone in NSW who hasn't seen the latest #friendlyjordies video on YT should probably check it out.
If you didn't see the original "Coronation" video he's talking about, documenting the strong links between a senior #NSWCoalition politician and organised crime, and which led to his house being firebombed, and which he's now taken down, under ongoing threats to the lives of anyone connected to making the video, it's been put on Internet Archive and now re-uploaded to YT a few dozen times.
Here's the original Coronation video (46 min) https://web.archive.org/web/20220801000000*/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGpWvYscSpE
And here's yesterday's statement (3 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRqUVh29LGQ
#Corruption goes to the very top in #NSWpol.

friendlyjordies tells those that threaten them that "you win". Coronation video taken down. Claims they didn't get appropriate support from NSW authorities.

#Murdoch has dropped the lawsuit against #crickey , that's good but this is still a sham. Check out this first video for the backstory: #brilliant #msm #Thisisnotjournalism #FriendlyJordies #mediawatch

First, they came for the journalists, and I didn’t speak out, for I was not a journalist.
We don’t know what happened next. Nobody was reporting it.

CW: Who would firebomb a comedian? The friendlyjordies saga 2/2
All this has gained #friendlyjordies an online audience almost as big as some of the major TV channels—as well as a lot of enemies.
Before having his house firebombed (then doxxed on the evening news), he's faced lawsuits (civil & criminal), had numerous hit pieces against him in the corporate press, had numerous videos taken down, been subject to plenty of death threats, and had counter-terrorism cops surveilling him and then arresting his producer on bogus charges.
So after getting firebombed, what does he do now? Keep his head down?
No, he picks one of the most controversial topics in the country, sure to anger some violent people with access to deadly weapons (and embarrass yet more powerful people): #WarCrimes in the Australian Defence Force during the #AfghanistanWar, and how (so far) the only individual prosecuted in relation to them has been the #whistleblower who brought them to national attention.Watch it before it gets taken down: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NCPkoUekHQ

CW: Who would firebomb a comedian? The friendlyjordies saga 1/2
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.
1/2

Maybe you don't follow niche political content of the twists and turns of a drama unfolding over many months in a single state of a minor nation (0.3% of global population) on the far aide of the world, where a shit-posting 20-something YT stand-up comedian eventually brought down both top executive officeholders (premier and deputy premier) in a jurisdiction of 8 million people that all started by making some low-effort meme videos about their destructive environmental policies and snowballed until it encompassed dodgy anti-terrorism police, multiple court cases, organised crime, everyday corruption, the world's most powerful gambling lobby, #google getting sued, too many cheesy #nintendo references, and the firebombing of the comedian's house. If you don't, but want to, and now don't know where to start, here's an outsider-friendly summary of the whole wild rollercoaster to this point.
