Watching Joel being arrested outside of court and I’ve never seen anything like this before in Australia.
People do media interviews and their own reporting outside of court all of the time. They wait for their mates outside of court all of the time.
I’ve never seen anyone arrested for it.
The only sense I can make of it is as a pre-planned stunt by the South Australia government, as a show of force and to intimidate dissidents.
Police command must have been told something like:
“This one is Joel Davis, he’s likely to be doing media interviews outside of court today. Make sure you arrest him, use whatever excuse you can to arrest him and do it as publicly as possible.”
Free-speech Lawyers need to come forward on this one. This will be a golden opportunity to create a legal precedent to stop two-tier political policing.

"There are several million Russians who can lift their head up from propaganda and try to look for other sources, and I'd say that most look for it on Telegram," he said. Telegram has become more interventionist over time, and has steadily increased its efforts to shut down these accounts. But this has also meant that the company has also engaged with lawmakers more generally, although it maintains that it doesn’t do so willingly. For instance, in September 2021, Telegram reportedly blocked a chat bot in support of (Putin critic) Alexei Navalny during Russia’s most recent parliamentary elections. Pavel Durov was quoted at the time saying that the company was obliged to follow a “legitimate” law of the land. He added that as Apple and Google both follow the law, to violate it would give both platforms a reason to boot the messenger from its stores. The news also helped traders look past another report showing decades-high inflation and shake off some of the volatility from recent sessions. The Bureau of Labor Statistics' February Consumer Price Index (CPI) this week showed another surge in prices even before Russia escalated its attacks in Ukraine. The headline CPI — soaring 7.9% over last year — underscored the sticky inflationary pressures reverberating across the U.S. economy, with everything from groceries to rents and airline fares getting more expensive for everyday consumers. "Your messages about the movement of the enemy through the official chatbot … bring new trophies every day," the government agency tweeted. These administrators had built substantial positions in these scrips prior to the circulation of recommendations and offloaded their positions subsequent to rise in price of these scrips, making significant profits at the expense of unsuspecting investors, Sebi noted.
