Former Australian Deputy Premier won a case against Google in 2022 arguing that the YouTube platform enabled journalist FriendlyJordies to make fun of him, and he won a $715,000 settlement.

Edit: Thanks for the correction, guys

Also, not a former Australian prime minister. He was the deputy premier of New South Wales.

I'm still learning Australian political terminology, you are right, I had prime minister and deputy premier confused.

FYI, the premier is like the state governor and the prime minister is like the president.
