Former New South Wales deputy premier John Barilaro was “broken” and “wanted to hide” during the state’s Delta outbreak due to the abuse from members of the public that followed a series of Friendlyjordies videos, a defamation trial has heard.
On Tuesday, Barilaro took the stand in his case against tech giant Google over a series of videos made by the YouTube comedian Jordan Shanks, who uses the nom de plume Friendlyjordies, in late 2020.
