Whist behind NSW Parliament House (Hospital Rd) Kristo Langker called out to Barilaro, from a distance and Barilaro made no obvious attempt to get in his car and rapidly egress the situation.

I am not promoting doxing. However in Australia a police officer must give their name when asked by a member of the public. It is the law. So I am saying he needs to be named and held to account. It is slightly different in each state so check the precise law for NSW but it will probably include their name, rank and assigned police station or similar. Obviously there will be some undercover exceptions but he came to arrest someone so that is not an under cover investigation. So this officer must be legally required to be identified if you lodge a freedom of information request. If I was a journalist and someone arrested me you can be certain I would be like a dog with a bone in terms of identifying who made the arrest. And of course I would film those interactions.

​@@theweetbixkid7702 He's more a journalist than anybody else I've ever seen. I certainly consume his work. Who says he's not a journalist? His thousands of viewers, those who pay him money in exchange for his shows? Those who, collected totally, pay him a totally independent wage? But no, instead we get put into the category of ''Jordie's followers'', as though, because we enjoy his journalism, we are blind followers of everything he says - because we pay him to continue so we cn read him, we are like his ''followers''! Ha, as though the main purpose of journalism was to be instructed in how to think by the journalist - something that the Murdoch media seems to imagine to be true. The pernicious twisting of language and ordinary definition in society by the authoritarian cynical ideologue knows no limitations or bounds! In a Democracy, anybody can become a journalist, and freedom to speak one's mind is essential to the people in a democracy's wellbeing and happiness. Taking away what one of our journalists says, is deeply saddening to many of his thousands of listeners and watchers - not followers, his audience, is what we are. If in a Democracy, a certain person is barred because of his status from being able to form his own career as he chooses to, whether it be in journalism or something else, there is no specific employer that all members of the public, no specific degree, that a person needs, to only be a journalist if he decides to be one in exactly the same way, in exactly the same style of opinions and tracks, as every other person. We are not Drones we are a general public - here is a person not only just a journalist, but one of the most successful ones in the country to exist outside of a narrow monopoly being investigated for intimidating politicians - I'm not talking about Jordies but the Murdoch press. That is, the Murdoch press, has been for years, intimidating YOUR representatives, and thus, by extension - you as well!

Yes, I heard about the arrest this morning on the ABC News Radio. They didn't say it was counter terrorism. The charge is stalking! So, any one who approaches someone with law documents be charged with stalking? This is laughable and sadly dangerious. See what journalists go through. In my 68th year it is destressing to realise that yes it is becoming a police state. Take care and hope there are people out there willing to help legally and for the future of this country.

Yeah - Stalking is a very serious crime....but by the sounds of Shanks position on the matter - there was fk all stalking! but it is another example of the elite pollies and there copper thug mates flexing muscle- they are really showing there grubbines and desperation in this video!

Four Corners will be on this I reckon! and SBS Insight or whatever appropriate session they have - a complex matter...The media and its ability to be reigned in - looks very different when its a KZbin satire legend and his staff members under attack!

@@SteveW84 The same people that own the MSM, own the LNP. A quick look at the history of the LNP shows that it was created solely to benefit the rich. The Original UAP and CLP, prior to WW2 was known by most Australians as the parties of the rich. Menzies and Keith Murdoch needed to rebrand the right wing parties and disguise the fact that the rich via the IPA directed LNP policies. Even the name "Liberal" is used to disguise and confuse the real reason for the LNP's existence. The ABC have so far oinly given completely biased reporting on the situation.

This is like the time BLM protests happened and when the cameras were on, the police were fine. Then when everyone was leaving and went to central station (or town hall I can’t remember) the police raided everyone and threw tear gas and sprayed pepper spray in peoples faces (up close and one of the victims was a woman in crutches). And it’s so sick. Gladys Sis, uve done good keeping covid under control, but that’s about the only thing Uve done good out of a long list of very very very fucked up and corrupt actions that u and ur party have been involved in.
