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.

Overall, extreme levels of fear in the market seems to have morphed into something more resembling concern. For example, the Cboe Volatility Index fell from its 2022 peak of 36, which it hit Monday, to around 30 on Friday, a sign of easing tensions. Meanwhile, while the price of WTI crude oil slipped from Sunday’s multiyear high $130 of barrel to $109 a pop. Markets have been expecting heavy restrictions on Russian oil, some of which the U.S. has already imposed, and that would reduce the global supply and bring about even more burdensome inflation. Asked about its stance on disinformation, Telegram spokesperson Remi Vaughn told AFP: "As noted by our CEO, the sheer volume of information being shared on channels makes it extremely difficult to verify, so it's important that users double-check what they read." "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. The Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi) had carried out a similar exercise in 2017 in a matter related to circulation of messages through WhatsApp. Telegram does offer end-to-end encrypted communications through Secret Chats, but this is not the default setting. Standard conversations use the MTProto method, enabling server-client encryption but with them stored on the server for ease-of-access. This makes using Telegram across multiple devices simple, but also means that the regular Telegram chats you’re having with folks are not as secure as you may believe.
