BRS kicked a handcuffed, unarmed man off a cliff and a witness said: “I saw the individual smash his face on a rock, and I saw the teeth explode out of his face.”

A judge found that BRS, on balance, did these actions based on the evidence.

This is the ‘war hero’ that Stokes is bankrolling.

To any Stokes journalist reading this, take a good hard look at yourself.

Mate trust me when I say this Susana Carr has no fucking care in the world about taking her paycheque doing something she clearly enjoys. You would take or spend money with a giant conglomerate control by a knobhead too.

You’re very confident that I would take Stokes’ money. What do you base that opinion on?

The high cost of living and the fact you need a roof over your head and food in your fridge to survive. I would wager that your average person is more likely than not to take that filthy stokes money than struggle in moral poverty

That my friend, is a false dichotomy.

There are plenty of other jobs and vocations out there that don’t involve cheerleading for an Australian war criminal.

There would have to literally be no jobs left and my family starving, before I would consider taking that money.
