    Scandal Joel Smith (Melbourne): Cocaine trafficking accusation

    I put this up on the Melbourne board, this sort of situation was talked about in the lead-up to the legislation being implemented, and was seen by several legal groups and sporting unions as an erosion of athletes individual and human rights. There are substantive legal minds who think the High...

    Delisted #29: Joel 'Scarface' Smith – banned for four years and delisted

    I think several other athletes and player unions will be alarmed, I doubt many will be complaining about punishment for a positive result on a match day, but then going further and alleging trafficking when it's potentially from evidence that is being compelled out of you, is wrong to me and...

    Delisted #29: Joel 'Scarface' Smith – banned for four years and delisted

    Sporting Integrity Australia have extraordinary powers, on par with the ATO and ASIC, and can compel people to answer questions and reveal information that could be self-incriminating. There are questions as to whether the use of these powers would stand up in a High Court challenge, but they...

    Vic How would you rate Daniel Andrews' performance as Victorian Premier? - Part 6

    Vic How would you rate Daniel Andrews' performance as Victorian Premier? - Part 6

    Pretty much agree with you, particularly with stadiums where masking while moving does make more sense. But for the rest of hospitality it doesn't really make a difference in terms of risk of getting infected, but has an outsized impact on businesses needing to use draw staff away to enforce...

    Vic How would you rate Daniel Andrews' performance as Victorian Premier? - Part 6

    If your indoors at any hospitality venue and there is an infected person there, you'll be a close contact regardless of where you were sitting/standing or whether you walked in with a mask and took it off only when you sat down to eat or drink/ or put it on when ordering at the bar. In my view...

    Feels like a 'seen to be doing something' sort of announcement, when the settings they already have in place are appropriate.

    Vic How would you rate Daniel Andrews' performance as Victorian Premier? - Part 5

    It's been a bit of time, but the school teacher was revealed on the 3rd-4th of August, and the first sample in that 3rd group is on the 3rd of August, so it looks to match up. But it's hard to tell with certainty.

    New genomic samples from Victoria on NextStrain after a 2 1/2 month wait. For the few months, there have been reports that there was a 3rd incursion from NSW, based on genomic data that wasn't publicly available. The samples released today show a very distinct cluster originating in NSW, that...

    NSW Premier "iCare" Perrottet and the Libs' Poison Chalice

    Will hopefully show up on NextStrain over the next fortnight. From what I understand it will mean there has been another incursion somewhere (HQ breach, border worker etc), but given the current situation in NSW and VIC, and the end of pursuing Covid-0, incursions are mostly irrelevant now...

    2021 Formula One Season: Championship Decider Abu Dhabi - Verstappen Wins in a Controversial Race! 🏆 🍾

    Really interesting radio from all drivers when the rain hit, in order of finishing place. Haven't heard so much from Kimi in a while, but he knew exactly what he wanted and it was the best decision. And Tsunoda's/Alpha Tauri's race would have been completely different if they went to inter...
