I know even less than that. I don't even know who Dominic Perrottet is.
Threadmancy ahoy! Also, welcome back Metaphor; I've missed you babe. Also, yes - this thread was created as an attempt to point out how quickly you are able to point out apparent attacks on free speech, but when a politician uses a goon squad to suppress an idiot closer to where you live you are quite silent. Now that all the baggage is away here's an update:
John Barilaro's lawyer for this defamation case is/was/whothefuckknowsnow a woman named Sue Chrysanthou. She is/was also affiliated with the Christian Porter defamation suit.
Remember how I compared John Barilaro's role in government to a US equivalent to Lieutenant Governor? That's because his actual role is Deputy Premier of New South Wales. And if you are keeping p with Bilby's memes, you all know that the Premier of New South Wales has resigned.
So that makes John Barilaro Premier of New South Wales, right?
No.
Firstly, the state government running NSW is run by a coalition of two parties; Liberal and National. Or, if you want an American comparison city Republicans and country Republicans. The Nationals are a smaller but important part of the coalition so the organisation is usually Liberal leader and National deputy when they are in government. The succession process is a little more murky. The hard and fast rule is that a Premier is replaced with another Liberal and the deupty Premier is replaced by a National. This is not etched in stone, but it is the smart way to bet.
Except everything I told you means jack fucking shit because John Barilaro has resigned also.
So, what does this mean for the defamation case where a politician deliberately tried to suppress a citizen's right to free speech? I don't have a fucking clue. I'll let you guys know. Also, everybody appears to be stepping back from who authorised the initial raid that started this fucking thread:

Finally, Metaphor if you don't know who Dominic Perrottet is, I suspect you will soon.
