UNSW student Mohamed Kamer Nizamdeen was jailed for a month on terror offences, only to be released after police admitted they'd arrested the wrong person. In his first IV since, he's told me about the ordeal and being framed by a colleague. [THREAD]

I've spoken to influencers who've been paid $600 per video to promote the COVIDSafe app on TikTok. Their influencer agencies referred them to the job. But none of the young people I spoke to were aware the app isn't working the way it was meant to. [THREAD]

We’ve uncovered a pattern of Australian Sikh separatists who say they’ve been threatened for their activism. One said his family was told there were “orders to kill” if people did anything “opposite” to India. The Australian Government has said it’s deeply concerned.

This NSW police officer has been placed on restricted duties while an internal investigation is carried out into this arrest of a 17yo Aboriginal boy in Sydney. This video has been circulating on social media.

It's worth noting here that police dropped the charge against Mohamed Kamer Nizamdeen after he spent four weeks in a super max prison, in solitary confinement, and was only allowed to make one call to his parents after his arrest. @abcnews @triplejHack

AFP and NSW Police have refused to apologise to UNSW student Mohamed Kamer Nizamdeen despite dropping a terror charge against him this morning. They say the investigation is still ongoing but they don’t believe it’s his handwriting. @abcnews @triplejHack

We've found at least four Indian intelligence operatives were asked to leave Australia. It was done secretly and they left one by one. We've discovered the Narendra Modi Government, focused on becoming a global superpower, thought it got away without any public embarrassment.

When I was at uni I ran a blog called Things My Pretentious Friends Say to pay out Sydney Uni students. I haven’t logged on in years but people are still making submissions and apparently USyd students are still pretentious...

Referring to Western Sydney as the “Wild West and dangerous”, is like calling the Daily Mail “factual and accurate”.

Met an Austrian couple overseas who said: “Wait, your government doesn’t have any climate change policy and isn’t committing to the targets right? Isn’t Australia on fire right now?” Our reputation internationally.

This poses a lot of difficult questions for the Australian Government which has been getting closer and closer to India despite these covert operations. Take a read:

'They're already here, they're already interfering': Indian intelligence accused of threatening...

The long arm of the Indian state is reaching Australians with threats against members of the Indian diaspora, the amassing of political power, and never-before-reported details of a "nest of spies".
