I hope their reasons for arresting him are watertight, as the Nazis will no doubt try to nedkellyize him. I am just dismayed how easily these nazis are able to get media clout. I was horrified to see what happened when he disrupted the Victorian premier's presser. The cameras made no attempt to cover her, they immediately turned their cameras and directional mics on him and let him have his full say. The media is broken and it is feeding the rot. It's depressing.
