Canem Malum: keep shooting messengers and offer nothing substantive....

Andras,

The left whingers are just as keen to sue for defamation and have done so.

Free speech like anything has its limits. You are allowed to criticise people and what they do, but as soon as you make stuff up to damage their reputation they can sue you.

Jordan Shanks can win the case by showing that what he claimed was true. If not, then he is toast.

"Barilaro’s lawyers have claimed that the politician was defamed in the videos which imply he was “corrupt” and “committed perjury”.

The statement of claim also describes the videos as “vile and racist”. Barilaro’s lawyers pointed to the language used by the comedian in videos, such as calling him a “conman to the core, powered by spaghetti”, “greasy Ned Kelly”, and a “big, fat wog cock”.

“By reason of the publication of [the videos], the applicant has been greatly injured in his personal and professional reputation and has been and will be brought into public disrepute, odium, ridicule and contempt,”

Shadowminister,

Strewth you right whingers are absolute snow flakes.

“That he approached Barilaro twice screaming abuse is probably why he was served.”

This is what you are deeming screaming abuse. From the Media Watch video:

All delivered in a measured tone.

That to you is now screaming abuse is it? This is what deserved the intervention of an anti-terrorist squad is it?

God what a sad bunch of cry babies you lot really are.

Dear mhaze,

Rubbish.

This is what censorship is about “This pod is about us not mentioning the elephant in the room”.

Barilaro has essential applied a SLAPP suit to shut him up. That is censorship in most people's book, apparently not yours though.

As to 500,000 subscribers this is more than 7 News at 497,000, close to 2/3rds 9 News' 760,000, and smashes 10 News with a paltry 57,000 subscribers.

The 'arrested' video has had over a million views in just a week.

As much as you would like to see someone who is calling out LNP corruption to be deemed insubstantial he most certainly isn't.

SR,

How can it be censorship if the guy is still able to talk to his flock?

"The 'arrested' video has had over a million views in just a week."
"As to 500,000 subscribers this is more than 7 News at 497,000..."

Again he has a huge following and he's able to still preach to them. So in what twisted logic is he censored?

" deemed insubstantial he most certainly isn't."

Where did I say he was insubstantial or anything like it?

Clearly you're over-wrought about this and are struggling to maintain any measure of logic here - even more so than usual, which is hard to believe.

It's unfortunate that this will now need to make its way through the tortuous court system and hopefully Barilaro will get what's coming, but this is world the left created. Its rather disingenuous to only now be complaining that its unfair. Tell that to Pell, Bolt and Porter.

Dear mhaze,

Neither, Pell, Bolt nor Porter were dragged from their homes in handcuffs by a squad set up to deal with terrorist threats were they.

For you to be claiming any sort of equivalence is ludicrous.

Pell had to face charges of forcing his penis into the mouth of a couple of choir boys, Porter was accused of raping a teenager, and Bolt finally got pulled up for demonstrable lies.

Yet none were treated like Kristo, none had their mothers rough handled either, all for the crime of twice approaching and addressing a politician in a public place.

And please can you accept there is a distinction between Friendly Jordies and Kristo in this. The defamation case is one thing but the thuggery and misuse of power directed at Kristo was way over the top and utterly dangerous to any notions of free speech and holding politicians to account.

Whet is worse is you lot of snowflakes doing your nana in some kind of grotesque parody of the 'me too' movement.

Give me a break.

Dear Canem Malum,

How dare you blaspheme the Bible and take the apostle's name in vain. What a callow and unChristian thing to do. Shame on you.

ANDRÁS

"This name derives from the Ancient Greek “Andréas”, which in turn derives from “andrós”, meaning “man, adult male, husband”. In turn the name means “manly and strong, courageous and warrior”. He was the first Apostle in the New Testament. It is traditionally popular because, according to the Christian Bible, Saint Andrew was one of the earliest disciples of Jesus and one of the twelve Apostles. Andrew the Apostle (6 b.C.–60 a.C.), called in the Orthodox tradition Protokletos, or the First-called, is a Christian Apostle and the brother of Saint Peter. The name “Andrew”, like other Greek names, appears to have been common among the Jews, Christians, and other Hellenized people of the region. No Hebrew or Aramaic name is recorded for him."
