With ALTRAV shown the door, we only have CM now to pass on words of wisdom from the extreme right. A few others try, but unfortunately they fail.

SR wrote: "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."

This is standard SR. Assert that since things aren't identical they are entirely different. Refuse to see let alone acknowledge that they have parallels.

As I said in my first post on this, the parallels are that the the legal system is now used to attack political opponents. The police and judiciary were used to 'get' Pell when mere evidence failed. The legal system was used and abused to silence Bolt's revelations about 'white aboriginals'. The legal system was used to create false questions about Porter that caused his downfall.

All of that was fine and dandy when only those on the right were targets. But those on the right do watch and learn. Inevitably those same tactics are used by them. And when they are the left screams at what they previously cheered.

But I doubt SR will understand that. He's too busy screaming at what he previously cheered

SR is such a crybaby.

Certainly the first case the FJ was screaming. The second he was shouting or screaming.

Considering your complete antipathy for freedom of speech, your hypocrisy in calling this a free speech issue is supreme. Note that FJ has not been stopped producing his vlog, but he will have to pay for the lies he's told, and threatening people.

Shadowminister,

Do catch up you flog. It was his producer who was arrested, handcuffed and dragged from his family home not Friendly Jordies. And now instead of waiting for the matter of any defamation against FJ himself to go to before the courts you are already claiming them as lies.

Dear mhaze,

Rubbish.

I fully accept there may well be an equivalence between the others and the suing of Friendly Jordies by Barilaro but most certainly not with the way Kristo was treated. I am glad to see most of his bail conditions removed but that doesn't excuse how over the top the authorities were in dealing with him. A whole different kettle of fish.

individual: What does this means 'Andras Smith, Have you got permission to walk around freely ?'

Not sure what the relevance of 'walking around freely' has to do with anything except being a glib or shallow deflector for corrupt, unethical and immoral white Christian nationalists (sounds like the LNP?).

Like Australia for Murdoch, Hungarian media has become consolidated by the govt. for PM Orban, and is now mostly supportive of white Christian nationalist issues, anti EU and anti Soros agitprop, masking much autocracy, corruption and decline in public services; majority of youth plan to emigrate.....

Meanwhile non compliant &/or non conservative journalists are also subjected to mischievous defamation actions and/or simply lose their jobs (familiar?) while outlets can be closed down or taken over by the state,then sold onto friends of the regime.

Literal response, yes you can walk around freely anywhere including Moscow, Istanbul, Tehran, Shanghai etc. where does this particular low level freedom not exist?

Answer-

Andras Smith said "white Christian nationalist issues"
As opposed to Communist Globalist Totalitarian Universalist (Nosy Sea Lion) issues.

China has been taking over the self government of Hong Kong- and appears to be using Chinese mainland immigration to dominate and pacify it. Are you allowed to travel between states in China without papers?? And China under Mao tens of millions of deaths outside of warfare. Tiananmen Square (under Deng Xiao Ping from memory) where tanks ran over hundreds of people- tracks sliding over "a blood slip and slide". Moscow- well nothing needs to be said of the black market warfare- the starvation after the revolution- a nation that took the concept of totalitarianism beyond imagination. Istanbul- the Muslim Fundamentalists are reversing the work of father Kamal Mustafa- perhaps they have a right to do this- government of the people and such- at least this is a cause based within their own ethnic identity- as long as it stays within their ethnic territory.

Fascinating...
