    Journalism is printing what someone else doesn’t want printed, everything else is just public relations.

    Seems to fit the definition to me.

    Yeah, his “Paradise Bombed” video was really eye opening for me, his team confronts the German manufacturing company who made air to surface firebombs being used to commit genocide in Papua New Guinea and the company spokesman outright denies any involvement despite having the evidence set on the table in front of him.

    Top Class work, imo.

      Independent is a tough word for some people to grasp…I mean, it has MORE than 10 letters.

    Dudes a better investigative journalist than all of the muppets in the mainstream media at the moment.

    The stuff hes covered and reported on has been ghastly. From corruption and crime in nsw government to drones dropping grenades on village folk.

    Why isn’t he a journalist? Because he is also making funny videos?

  I hope someone saved it and re-uploads it anonymously on YouTube.

    Ex NSW premier John Barilaro was an executive director of a western Sydney property development company. That development company is closely tied to organised and gang crime - murders etc. - and so far its kingpins has evaded any serious prosecution. The video insinuates that this is a result of corruption of the NSW government.

  For anybody looking to make change: don't ask permission, and be not afraid of death.
