How to Steal a City
Here's a case study on development Sydney. There are some extremely questionable things going on round Campsie.
If you're in Canterbury-Bankstown council watch this and make sure to vote.
We're thinking of turning videos like these into a bit of a series, studying property developers, councils and their links to organised crime/corruption. Let us know if you think that's a good idea and if you've got any name ideas for the series.
Also if you have any info on developers/politicians - send it through to friendlyjordies@protonmail.com .
Thanks so much for your continued support,
FJ Team

Not sure about this one but it smells bad given Blissful Constructions still have an active ABN, it is well published through the Newcastle Herald but I can still smell something, I don't think it is finished it needs the touch of a Jordies Traineeship employee I reckon, get em cheap while Scumo is still paying! Just sharing ideas https://www.caselaw.nsw.gov.au/decision/5d5e0355e4b0c3247d71143a Anyway, love your work!
Google up John Hatton - he has some details on YouTube about it.
Great stuff again Jordie. Love your work. Here’s a suggestion. Greg Watson, past Mayor and current Councillor for Shoalhaven City Council. Sold a 1200HA piece of land INSIDE the HMAS Albatross and Creswell Defence umbrella around Jervis Bay for $5mill. Had $90mill worth of quarriable road base underneath (which WAS a Council quarry for road repairs) - sold it to the CHINESE!!! Lots more dodgy dealings by the same bloke. Worth a look! His legacy continues - as does he!
The ghost of Robert Askin are alive and well. Only vote for independent candidates who can keep the liberals well away
For your next video on rezonings, feel free to plug the Andrews government's new Rezoning Windfall Gains Tax. We've been advocating at Prosper for this for a long time, it's good to finally see the issue getting traction: https://www.prosper.org.au/2021/10/rezoning-windfall-gains-tax-a-win-for-victoria/
Great video! Wish this came out a bit earlier, it's still locked and canterbury-bankstown council elections are tomorrow!
Quality work FJ’s
That was a really good video. Only just in time for the council election.
I’d love to see a series on this. Could you include Australia’s largest municipal government, Brisbane City Council? Brisbane has been overdeveloped over the past 10 years.
How about "Cuntbusters"????
Or actually, Cuntbusters with a "z"
Would love to see a series, mainly cause itd be interesting to see how deep the hole would be in the Moreton Bay Council. Though we've gotta vote tomoz so fingers crossed it improves a little.
