Actually yeah, John Barilaro was the NSW Deputy Premier at the time, who had joined the Coronation Property development company (which was allegedly connected to gangs if I’m not mistaken), and when Friendly Jordies, the YouTuber in question, exposed the NSW Nationals Party’s actions to basically sabotage a town they were voted into as a way to drive out younger voters (basically to guarantee them a seat in parliament indefinitely), Barilaro allegedly ordered the fire bombing of Jordies house, but they botched it and fire bombed the neighbours house, then went back to hit the correct house.
I did do a little bit of researching to refresh my mind on it (since I saw the whole saga around 2 or 3 years ago), and turns out Barilaro apparently wasn’t connected to the attacks, but then again, the timing is kinda suspicious how Friendly Jordies’ house was fire bombed in 2022, the same year Barilaro was employed with the developer, although I’ll just leave that as speculation.
Honestly though, this has gotta be one of the rare occasions of when politics here is genuinely really interesting and kinda deranged, and I haven’t really heard issues like this to this calibre here.
