Actually, Jordan Shanks has a long and very public track record of speaking truth to power, is a strong advocate for and proponent of quality investigative journalism. He was instrumental in the former extremely corrupt NSW (his local state) leadership resigning.

> Australia is not third world country where "organized crime" runs rampant.

Australia has a long history of organized crime: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organised_crime_in_Australia
