As a creditable and well-known independent journalist I cannot continue operating in a cultural milieu or information-economy that has been utterly trashed by agents of government AND opposition tomfoolery, social media nonsensification and unabashed censorship.

Do I get arbitrarily* arrested next?

Been there done that – nine times over ten years. If it happens again and in this case to a man of 72 there will be phenomenal negative consequences for any agents of government, advertising & public relations industry shills on billion-dollar subsidies or deranged Young Labor or Young Liberal operatives with their debit-cards loaded up with government handout cash who might dare to even contemplate such action.
