That’s a good take, but I think it is more likely a sarcastic comment. A comment that Australia should be a democratic government with rights but now it’s a police state that no longer resembles democracy (in his angry opinion)
There is a recent New Zealand Today episode that interviews him. IIRC, he was involved in a number of low level scams at the time, and was arrested while dining on a stolen credit card. Man was just a natural showman, who wasnt going to go down quietly.
Iirc he was mistaken as the person doing scams. Thus the confusion why he was being arrested after being told they wanted to talk outside.
