Pokies lobby ClubsNSW drops lawsuit against YouTuber Jordan Shanks

by Michael West | Feb 17, 2023 | What's the scam?

Pokies lobby ClubsNSW has dropped its lawsuit against YouTuber Jordan Shanks and paid his costs. What’s the scam?

The scam is Clubs brought criminal contempt proceedings against whistleblower Troy Stolz and Shanks last year, effectively exploiting the court system to bully and muzzle its critics. It is a bizarre situation where anybody with enough cash can run around threatening to put people in jail without the involvement of a public prosecutor.

Lawyers for ClubsNSW were Thomson Geer. Xenophon Davis represented Shanks and Stolz.

Ironically, the interview which ClubsNSW claimed was contempt was conducted by Jordan Shanks’ colleague, Kristo Langker. Jordan was not even there.
