He ended in jail because he was ordered to restart quarantine and as a previous offender (x2) was deemed to be a person who could not be trusted to stay isolated. This has nothing to do with racism and he has got what he deserves.

Na he also had an formal warning from WA authorities for breaching covid rules when he first exited the hub
With 4.1% indigenous population in the state and 41% of the states prison population, you might find it hard to argue otherwise. And it is still rising.
Sydney was given an official warning previously by the WA state government when he returned and broke Covid rules after the QLD incident. Multiple offender. Also he signed his name to the permit request and 16 days or not he's liable for his action and as I said " tuff luck"
Spose we will know more 1pm Melbourne time.
So you reckon they are locked up because they are indigenous?, how about they are locked up because they broke the law? ,there’s an old saying do the crime do the time
It is that simple you reckon...
It will be uneventful. Bailed to appear in February is my guess.

Richmond footballer Sydney Stack’s agent has revealed how difficult spending the Christmas period in jail has been for his client ahead of him facing court again on Wednesday.
Stack was denied bail in Perth Magistrates Court only days before Christmas for alleged COVID-19 self-quarantine breaches in his home state.
That decision resigned the 20-year-old Tiger to spending multiple weeks behind bars before his January 6 court appearance.
Stack said at that first hearing his AFL career was “on the line”.
Asked how Stack was handling being in prison, Paul Peos, of Inside 50 Player Management, told the Herald Sun: “He’s finding it a very challenging situation.”

His alleged breach was discovered when police issued him with a move-on notice for disorderly conduct, after he was involved in a late-night brawl.
Stack nominated a Northam address as his place of quarantine but later relocated to Belmont, about an hour away.
The second-year footballer also received a 10-match suspension for leaving Richmond’s Queensland hub in early September to attend a strip club, before being involved in a fight outside a kebab store.
The WA border was again closed to Victorians as of midnight on New Year’s Eve, and the Tigers confirmed they won’t have a club representative in court to support Stack.
