This one is a future Streisand Effect hopefully.
The criminals in New South Wales that had this YouTube journalist’s house firebombed:

God I hope so
Aside from the fact that his house got firebombed, that video is fucking hilarious. I can't finish it right now but I'm about 1/3 of the way through and it's fantastic. I've taken to referring to John Barilaro as Ken Paxton, mostly because I couldn't remember the name Barilaro even while I was watching the video lol but I think the shoe fits.
(For non Americans, Ken Paxton is Texas's Attorney General (basically the state's head lawyer) who happens to be involved in a criminal trial facing THREE felonies (felony is the higher level crimes, not sure what they're called in other countries) which he was indicted on back in 2015 when he was first elected to the position. Each term is 4 years so he's been reelected...2x? Post felony indictment.)
(Also now that I've written this comment I have created a song about Barilaro so I will be sure to remember his name)
