Yeah except they didn't. He was 21 and apparently made some comments to two women by messenger. They investigated (this was a decade ago) - I remember it well because of the amount of bullshit it was. He flung open his messenger and phone and in the end there was fuck all to do other than give him some training on communicating with people. Case closed. Ten years on, two disgrunted former WA greens staffers and another woman who is a party member are supporting Sophie McNeill and Jordon has an AVO against a woman who is being investigated by the police over these issues. The allegations by Jordon (this is not related to other AVOs against her by others) are of coercive control and family and domestic violence. He has spoken about this in the media yesterday. His mother and ninety year old grandmother are still terrified. And then he votes against a controversial bill that Labor and the Coalition have teed up to pass - I have been tweeting about this tonight - and on closer look, Sarah Hanson Young's partner is right in the thick of all of this, with Gazard and Briggs, Morrison's mate. And data centres and AI and automated decision making. He stuck his head out too far and they snapped it off. And yes, Labor have dumped a bunch of this shit as well, because this serves their purpose well, given that Jordon is a credible threat and so are the Greens. It would also make complete sense, given that this landed on the day of @DavidShoebridge's pre selection for Federal Parliament, that opponents might want to paint him as unable to control the Party. Right? And demand that there is a re election. Nobody should be reappointed at all or appointed until this shit is sorted out independently, including shitfuckery in the WA Greens and their former staff. Because this stinks. It is electoral interference, it is bullying and harassment and it is the type of grubby politics that should be called out immediately, no matter who it is against, but most certainly when it is against a victim of violence, abuse and neglect. What a shitshow. (NB: I asked the bot to give me a rundown on DPG and it came up with this. DPG Advisory Solutions is a Canberra lobbying firm linking former Morrison insider Scott Briggs, Coalition strategist David Gazard and Ben Oquist, husband of Greens Senator Sarah Hanson-Young. In 2021, DPG received a $79,950 Home Affairs contract, just $50 below the competitive tender threshold, without an apparent competitive process. An independent investigation subsequently found that department secretary Mike Pezzullo breached the public service Code of Conduct by failing to declare a conflict involving Briggs. Meanwhile, Hanson-Young claimed approximately $50,000 in taxpayer-funded family flights, reportedly involving Oquist travelling between Adelaide and Canberra, where he works as a corporate lobbyist. The official expenses review excluded those Canberra flights. None of this establishes misconduct by Oquist or Hanson-Young, but the combination raises serious questions about political access, public money and conflicts of interest. And gosh, from what I know about Gazard, TPG and their clients - including Salesforce - that is the tip of the fucking iceberg. Nobody can be responsible for the actions of their spouses, but - they need to fling the doors open and let some sunshine in. And I want to know the spouses interests, too. )
