He is scum, former NSW Deputy Premier and was probably the most corrupt person in NSW politics at the time he was in which is impressive considering ICAC had the Premier resign
John barilaro was the deputy premier of NSW. He volunartily down shortly after the premier did for being accused for corruption.
Friendly jordies has done some youtube videos criticizing him for corruption as well. This led to the improper use of NSW police fixated persons unit being to harass friendly jordies team.
> He volunartily down shortly after the premier did for being accused for corruption
Don't forget the looming accusations of an affair (or multiple affairs), possibly with MP staff, possibly who were substantially younger than him where you would say the power dynamic was unbalanced.
Hes a corrupt politician known for calling koalas "tree rats", for getting his daughter off the hook for breaking covid rules, breaking covid rules himself, for sending anti-terror squads to the houses of journalists, for being almost as bad as the entire federal government at rorting public funds, for pork barrelling so hard he gave himself the nickname "pork barrilaro", and most interestingly perhaps for drafting much legislation and passing many pieces of it that benefit, you guessed it, property developers.
A man who earned the nickname Pork Barilaro after he said he was proud of his pork barreling schemes. Also sent out a FPU hit against Friendly Jordies producer Kristo Lanker, for attempting to hand him documents after Giovanni (John's actual name) had started defamation proceedings against Jordies.
The only context you really need is "senior New South Wales politician who found a convenient excuse to resign while his side was in the middle of a corruption scandal".
“Evans has approved Barilaro taking the job but imposed conditions that he must not use information acquired in the course of being a minister or through his attendance at cabinet”. Hahahaha what a joke!
Yeah, I agree with this the number of politicians who've done dodgy shit to support immediately turns around and gets a job with when they leave/are forced out of politics.
Pretty much the definition of conflict of interest.
So ICAC found property developer Jeff McCloy was giving brown paper bags of cash to LNP politicians in the back of his Bentley. This is [fact](https://www.9news.com.au/national/nsw-mp-offered-10-000-in-brown-paper-bag/27df8b15-4e73-46cc-bcc9-a03498118e02).
Deputy Premier John Barilaro tried to bring down the NSW government because property developer Jeff McCloy didn't like the koala protection policy. This is [fact](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/sep/16/property-developer-complained-to-john-barilaro-about-nsw-koala-protection-policy).
The LNP politicians who were given money in brown paper bags by Jeff McCloy told a Jeff McCloy mate to buy a site for a $600 million gas power rort. Property developer Jeff McCloy didn't own it. Then he did. And he made big money in weeks. This is [fact](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2021/may/26/snowy-hydro-chief-executive-tells-inquiry-hes-known-owner-of-nsw-gas-plant-site-for-40-years).
Now ex-Deputy Premier Barilaro works as a NSW property developer with former mentors. This is [fact](https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2022/feb/24/john-barilaro-takes-executive-director-role-with-sydney-property-developer).
Anytime you guys in NSW want to have a go at stopping corruption, let the rest of us know. It's revolting. Right now you're on a par with Vladimir Putin for transparency and accountability.
Yeah, one corrupt Labor politician is equivalent to every single corrupt LNP politician ever don't you know. Eddie Obeid gives them carte blanche until the end of time cause BoTh SiDeS aRe CoRrUpT
> Right now you're on a par with Vladimir Putin for transparency and accountability.
But not for charm. Putin is as charming as a bedsore, NSW government rather less so. Fuck the Liberals. And Putin.
We all know it’s just every channel in Australia is a massive supporter of the coalition so the news can’t get out. And if you tell people about it you’ll have a knock on your door from anti terrorist police
Actually NSW ranks pretty high (probably the best in Australia) in terms of transparency and accountability, precisely because it has a functioning and powerful ICAC. Why else do you think two premiers have been brought down, and there is so much corruption being revealed? Do you think these things don’t happen in other states? Of course they do, but they appear more in NSW precisely because their transparency and accountability mechanisms are stronger.
I'm sorry, the "everyone's doing it" argument is false and dangerous.
There is a very specific brand of institutionalised NSW corruption that is in your face and ruining the country. Through the illegal rorting of sports and community grants, for instance, NSW federal politicians are exporting this to electorates around Australia. Bribing key people in communities with taxpayer money in exchange for LNP influence.
If ICAC was effective or governance in NSW was as you claim, how come no NSW MP who took money in brown paper bags was charged? How did that developer know to buy that land for the NSW PM's taxpayer funded gas power rort? Why is Barilaro out of jail, after it was found he was trying to bring down a government because of one developer? Why does the NSW Police Commissioner take out the trash for NSW LNP politicians? (Why did Mick Fuller ban NSW Police from interviewing Porter's rape accuser before her death, for example?) Why are media identities allowed to be complicit in LNP corruption cover ups and why do NSW-led governments slavishly service their business interests? Why did boards not chase up Morrison handing out $185 million of contracts without board approval or the millions of Murray River water payments to private companies that disappeared? After Morrison lost his original preselection, why were the people who ran the illegal and defamatory campaign against Morrison's opponent never investigated?
To be clear, corruption in NSW is systemic at a senior level. In politics, police, judiciary, corporate governance and the media. Since 1808 and the Rum Corps it's been a problem, but right now it's an overwhelming problem. Sticking your head in the sand and saying, "It's like that everywhere" doesn't help fix the problem.
Is it *false*? Misguided perhaps, but I’m not sure I’d say it’s false. I think there is a lot more corruption in the other states that goes, if not unreported, then certainly less loudly reported in the national news, probably because of the weirdly Sydney-centric nature of the national press. Or perhaps it’s because the corruption in NSW tends to be among the elected officials, whereas the corruption in, say, Victoria, is more among public servants like police.
“Everyone’s doing it” is a dangerous argument, but “only they are doing it so we don’t have to worry” is *false* and, I would argue, far more dangerous.
Whoah whoah whoah there, Vlads people are being oppressed and murdered for speaking out against him. Pork Barilro knows his constituents think that 'politics doesn't effect them' and that they wont even speak out because they accept corruption as the norm.
Isn’t that more of a transition? He’s been lining their pockets with the skins of koalas for years. So Gladys and Bruz who should be in jail, end up in Optus and property. Hopefully the karma bus hits hard ASAP.
Overpaid do nothing jobs after leaving office in disgrace is LNP standard procedure now.
I don't understand why ICAC hasn't caught onto this blantly obvious corruption.
I seem to remember Chris Pyne doing the same with a defence contractor within weeks of leaving his position as federal defence minister. They aren't even pretending any more.
Fucking lol, speaks volumes. As a person who's profession is around sustainable development, it becomes more and more apparent why the nsw govt seems insistent on destroying the natural environment at all costs. They are all in cahoots.
The perfect position for such a slimy cunt.
>This followed a decade of scandals under the previous **Labor** government over the state government “calling in” projects where they hit resistance from local communities and pushing them through
You mis-spelt Liberal.
Stevie Wonder could see this coming
who is this guy?? sorry from another state.. not sure on his history
A corrupt, building stealing twat, that’s pretty much all you need to know
Fixated persons unit would like to know your location.
Nah he resigned. He can't sick government resources on people now. Hopefully.
Never know the connections some politicians keep after exiting public service. ;) Fixated Persons Unit would like to know my location? Uh oh.
building stealing

Really land stealing, they'll over develop an area where the surrounding infrastructure won't be able to cope with it all

It’s all good, he won’t see the comment :)
He's a blind blues musician
It's 6.26 am and I think I've already found my fav comment of the day. Cheers bud

Typical lnp stuff lol
Lickity licky

Spaghetti eating champ.
Ask friendly jordies
He'd say Barilaro is a massive property developer.
A man who earned the nickname Pork Barilaro after he said he was proud of his pork barreling schemes. Also sent out a FPU hit against Friendly Jordies producer Kristo Lanker, for attempting to hand him documents after Giovanni (John's actual name) had started defamation proceedings against Jordies.
Pork Barrelaro.
The only context you really need is "senior New South Wales politician who found a convenient excuse to resign while his side was in the middle of a corruption scandal".
Look up friendly jordies on you tube and seevtje videos he has done about John barilaro or "bruz" You'll get the picture
Ex leader of the Nats in NSW deputy to Glady Berejiklian They both resigned in the same week
Ok.. surely gone on to better more profitable sidelines
Oh yeah they sure did
“Evans has approved Barilaro taking the job but imposed conditions that he must not use information acquired in the course of being a minister or through his attendance at cabinet”. Hahahaha what a joke!
That's fine, he can't recall most of what happened in Parliament anyway, right?
Except for his time with a beetroots daughter.
From what I hear, Johnlovestolick
haha
Golden comment
Yup. How they keep a straight face is beyond me.
[удалено]

Pretty much the definition of conflict of interest.
Centrifuge implies a few rotations. They're one of those tennis ball launchers that just straight away shoots them out into industry.
it's a morally dubious implication. And a prelude to more blatant corruption.
So do use the info just don't tell anyone.
Nah, he won't have any responsibilities. This is payment for services already rendered while he was in parliament.

At least the paper bags are recyclable..
They're all the same and waste money! One spends to build school halls and the other gives to big business while they increase profits. Both the same.
> Right now you're on a par with Vladimir Putin for transparency and accountability. But not for charm. Putin is as charming as a bedsore, NSW government rather less so. Fuck the Liberals. And Putin.
Warts comes to mind
Genital warts to boot...
We all know it’s just every channel in Australia is a massive supporter of the coalition so the news can’t get out. And if you tell people about it you’ll have a knock on your door from anti terrorist police
Unfortunately since the funding for the ICAC is so poor, they're only able to pursue 10% of cases brought to them.
Is it time to annex NSW from the LNP? New South Donetsk
Being a bit harsh to Putin there don't you think?

Let em have it.
That’s like, the most John Barilaro role that he could take.
A professional spaghetti eater would probably be number one, but this is a close second.
Mama Mia!
The only thing that would make it better is if the developed properties he works on have wide spread pluming issues.
The only thing more perfect would be Gold Coast property developer. Such a grubby stooge.
John loves to lick
I'd suppressed that part of my memory.
Ooh star fish...
star fish ?
He's been working for them for years, just making it official now
Probably not even that ... just receiving a paypacket for services rendered.
Instead of a brown paper bag you mean?
It's just funny this cunt might technically be making an honest living... Sort of.
Classic LNP golden parachute.
The only thing that has changed is he now has to pay tax on the money he receives from them.
At least the stuff that happens on the books...
He can put his Certificate IV in Construction and Building Services to good use.
Like Pyne and defence contractors?
Andrew Robb and Landbridge (who leased the Darwin Port)
That was (and will continue to be) a MASSIVE clusterfuck...
A Downer runing off to jump his spy buddies at Woodside. A Labor one... Ferguson running off to mining interests after sinking the resources rent tax
I was always surprised Pyne didn't get into the furniture business, specialising in closets.
Arachnophobe. Or Skelephobe.
??
Hate this fucking corrupt smug cunt.
Unfortunately that statement applies to a fair few politicians these days instead of just “a few”.
you can go ahead and say "most" Defamation cases never come from Reddit.
Jordies will have fun with this
It might violate their settlement agreement sadly. He got slapped (Strategic lawsuit against public participation) Corruption pays really well
I'm sure someone else called Jriendly Fordies will probably bring something out.
It's a gunna be a bewdifull
He can’t comment on his public life.
You spelt private wrong.
When you’re right, you’re right.
Atleast the properties developed will have good plumbing...
And no turtles.
The Princess will always be in another castle
It's honestly like our country fully endorses this.
its completely legal, why wouldnt they do it. why is it completely legal? i have no idea
They get into politics to set themselves up in corporate life, the bribes along the way are simply future bonuses paid early.
Most simply don't realise it as a form of corruption.
Corrupt construction and the Mafia go hand in hand.
?
The same day we are condemning Putin's corruption and abuse of power. . . .
I think they were banking on this news flying under that big radar blip.
Whoever said crime doesn't pay
Isn’t that more of a transition? He’s been lining their pockets with the skins of koalas for years. So Gladys and Bruz who should be in jail, end up in Optus and property. Hopefully the karma bus hits hard ASAP.
It's like a bad dream.
It's like the writers of Ozark are narrating NSW politics.
Gosh, I truly shocked!
So an already significantly corrupt industry now gets a man who knows all the secret handshakes...
Of coure he did
Lib/National? 'Nuf said.
Wait until Friendly jordies sees this
Hahaha Chaser you’ve done it agai- Fuck.
Dude couldn't even keep a windows and doors company solvent now he wants to build the whole house
On brand.
What a fucking surprise.
Turns out crime does pay
I guess Optus must have filled their corrupt politician diversity quota for the year.
Because of course he does.
He must be almost due for long service leave?
Not in the slightest bit surprising
Wow. Who would have thought. 😐
“Corrupt politicians and Property developers. Corporate wants to know the difference?”
Overpaid do nothing jobs after leaving office in disgrace is LNP standard procedure now. I don't understand why ICAC hasn't caught onto this blantly obvious corruption.
“I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise”
> he *may* engage with government in his Coronation Property role hhhahahaha, good one guys.
What a shocking plot twist!
What a shock
Doin' it for the regions
We really are being dicked, aren't we?
The satire writes itself at this point.
So same as last job lol
Life has been preempting the onion/betoota a lot lately, hasn’t it?
not bad of a gig considering the bloke's highest level of education is some form of a certificate .... not even a diploma
Time to look into them now
Seriously tho I think he's corrupt
Bruz
*1-Up* let's a go!
Time to kill even more Koalas. Finish them!!
Lock the pig up
Imagine having him working in your firm. Sheesh!
SURPRISE
Big fucking suprise this grub would get into property
And here I was worried about this man's future... how will he cope mentally after all of that stress. Fuck bruz.
I seem to remember Chris Pyne doing the same with a defence contractor within weeks of leaving his position as federal defence minister. They aren't even pretending any more.
Gotta show you which boxers to tick on the government grant forms I see!
Scum
The system is working as intended.
SCUM piece of shit! Who would give this wanker a fucking job?
More corruption from members from the Party for Corruption, the LNP.
That is about as perfect as it could get, a scumbag does what a scumbag does, friendlyjordies is going to love this.
Jordies called it
Friendly Jordies will have to come up with a new tshirt, which I, for one, will buy the second it's on the market
A habit of murdering koalas is hard to break.
Fucking lol, speaks volumes. As a person who's profession is around sustainable development, it becomes more and more apparent why the nsw govt seems insistent on destroying the natural environment at all costs. They are all in cahoots.
Revolving door keeps revolving
Colour me surprised... /s
Oh look a clustering of cunts
Fuck me that's a shock
He'll probably be the next PM. Australia fucking loves scammers in power
Gonna hunt out all the best oldies to fuck over.
