Don’t believe everything you read in Western media. Mr Barbecue is a well-regarded community leader navigating extremely challenging socio-economic conditions. Also there are no “Haitian gangs”. In fact there is no word for “gang” in Haitian Creole so that’s not even possible! Also contrary to popular belief Mr Barbecue is called “General Barbecue” because he was a small business owner who sold BBQ chicken not because of all of those people he burnt alive and ate during the gang massacres in Port-au-Prince slums between 2018-2024.

The irony is that he’s a leftist criminology student is promulgating the very nonsense that has tanked the credibility his own discipline.

The reality is the exact opposite of what he’s saying. Violent youth crime isn’t some moral panic created by the media. Victoria’s own crime statistics show youth offending increased 40% between 2022 and 2025.

It’s 2026. People aren’t getting their news from the paper. They’re seeing the actual security footage in 4K all over their social media feeds (for now).

In 2018, Victoria Police publicly acknowledged the problem of African youth gangs. The media and “community groups” complained, claiming it was, you guessed it, racist.

Since then, the ABC has largely stopped identifying African gangs in its reporting of violent youth crime. It still reports the home invasions, carjackings and machete attacks, but rarely who is responsible. In fact, since 2023, the only use of the phrase “African gangs” in the Victorian ABC News coverage I examined was in a story about allegations of racism against police for using the term.

If anything, NGOs, academics and sections of the media have spent years downplaying the reality of violent crime and telling people not to believe their lying eyes.

“Violence isn’t always the answer” says General Barbecue.

Don’t ask why he is called General Barbecue.

As climate change has faded from political relevance (although I’m sure they’ll try to revive it over summer), the Teals have increasingly leaned into what comes naturally to them, nanny statism.

Will this be their legacy? More rules? More regulations? More “safety”?

Australia is stuck in a malaise, has been for some time. What we need now is less “safety”, less caution and more risk, more ambition.

The Teals are not of this moment.
