It's been almost 3 years since my house was firebombed. It is impossible that after 3 years police do not know who ordered it. I feel I can no longer remain ...
What a mess of a time we live in when a state police department and national broadcaster act with such impunity.
A fair point, I should have specified former member of organised crime. Especially since they still seem to care about their standing with current organised criminals.
Your second sentence is what’s important. It doesn’t matter whether he was previously a member of an organised crime gang and if you’ve seen his reporting you’ll know his stories are very unique within Australian journalism because he has so many contacts and so much trust. The ABC was right when it said, “Mahmood Fazal does extremely challenging, impactful and important public-interest journalism for the ABC…”. He’s not a reporter than can just be 1:1 replaced by some generic journalism degree graduate.
The real problem is that it seems like he still has more than just connections to that world, which is putting himself and others at risk and compromising his professional integrity as a journalist. You definitely can’t have an active participant in the crime world working at the national broadcaster. However, it’s important to remember the guy making all the accusations is untrustworthy so we will need to wait to see how much is true.
I agree somewhat but only for former members where it’s apparent they no longer have ties to that world. Like those videos you see of former professional criminals explaining how stuff works. Usually it’s because they’ve been arrested and given evidence against their former “colleagues” and/or have long been away from that life. This doesn’t appear to be true for Mahmood.

What Jordan? How is he the is guy untrustworthy in this? The same crime family that attempted to have him killed is the family this “journalist” still has ties to??

I’m fairly sure he means the other crime linked guy on that podcast jordan references in the video
Ah that’s my bad then.
Correct!
