This NSW Greens politician is allegedly using Facebook to reveal police drug dog operations.

<David Shoebridge Uses Facebook To Thwart [Police] Drug Dogs

..It's safe to say NSW Greens MP David Shoebridge doesn't like drug detection dogs. The otherwise adorable labradors are routinely deployed by NSW Police in licensed venues, at sporting or entertainment events and along public transport routes, looking to sniff out traces of illicit drugs -- amphetamines, cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy, heroin and methamphetamines -- in crowds before officers search the people indicated by the dogs' keen sense of smell.

[Shoebridge], "These dogs are getting it wrong between 60 and 80 per cent of the time.

[The]Facebook page regularly warns followers of the location of sniffer dog operations.>
Huffington Post Australia, 24Nov2015

However, drug dogs very rarely 'get it wrong', if ever. The alleged 60-80% 'wrong' detections could be expressed as 20-40% caught with the drugs on them. The remainder of 'false positives' had already consumed their drugs (getting ready for a big night), had dropped their stash earlier or had been in the presence of drugs, so the dogs are right again.

OTB,

We should see this in a positive light; surely it is a good thing that a prominent Green is displaying the Australian Value of helping one's mates.
He is perhaps following the example of the former national leader of his party, Bob Brown who was well known for looking after his mates.

Hi there, Beach old Buddy,

What a laugh, HA HA! When you can't dredge up some garbage you believe will embarrass The Greens, you simply INVENT IT, like this bit of scintillating fiction you've posted, HA,HA! Note folks, no evidence presented just a bit of "its alleged" alleged by who? Beach and your folk hero, party leader Jim Saleam, HA, HA! You and Jim defiantly have to get out more, and stop spending so much time in that dingy basement that doubles as party HQ, in Tempe, its affecting your thinking, not that you though all that much before, it must be that damp basement that's doing it. HA, HA!

When no one responds to a Beachy beat up, you can always rely on good old Constable Clod to chime in with some incisive comment. Like some kind of Don Quixote's faithful side kick Sancho Panza, Is Mise is there for his forum buddy Beach! They are truly the forums dynamic duo! Durrrr!

Is Mise,

How about a comment on you man Bob Ballsup from the NSW Shooters and Hooters Party and the way he slagged off the Liberal Mayor of Liverpool using Parliamentary Privilege. I have given you plenty of opportunities over the past couple of weeks to comment, but so far NOTHING!

If you two want to get some real dirt on The Greens try this link.

Paul1405, 'fiction'

You are in denial as usual. I gave the source and date of publication. You claim to be a best buddy of Shoebridge's, go ask him yourself.

I was being kind when I said it was alleged. The news article cited in the OP was definite, saying, "David Shoebridge Uses Facebook To Thwart [Police] Drug Dogs".

I didn't post the link form the news article that gave NSW Greens MP David Shoebridge's Facebook page, because to do so would be to give this Greens human headline the publicity he seeks and at the same time help him to frustrate police operations.

Beach, I am not familiar with that particular publication of yours, the Kalamazoo Chronicle or whatever its name is, are you the editor-in-chief, by any chance? Or do you leave all the tough stuff to Jimbo, like writing stories. Of course you would not make reference to Dave's Facebook page, there is no dirt there for you to use, HA,HA!

Is Mise, I must have missed your comment on Bob Ballsup and his pathetic use pf parliamentary privilege to slag off the Mayor of Liverpool. Possibly your one line comment was sandwiched between two of Beachy boys 350 word diatribes, that only you can be bothered reading, no one else, and I missed it.
