Wow didn't know that. But I don't agree it's a good thing. Seems Qld and the NT are the only places that protect the accused's identity, and sounds like Qld might be about to get rid of it now.

Not a fan of old Clementine. Her views on men are very stereotyped.

"Once back at the Winning Post Motor Inn in Mudgee, it’s believed some of the players continued drinking into the early hours of Sunday morning...
... the behaviour of the players, according to the Dragons, does not meet their club standards..."
Even being at a place called The Winning Post would be inconsistent with that club's standards!

No offence taken
I used to read Clementines' articles and get worked up about her opinions. Then she wrote a piece connected to this book which made me re-think my view.
Not trying to be evangelical at all, rather I acknowledge your view.
My posting the link was more in relation to another member posting their "bad boys will be bad boys" tripe

All good brother.
I have very strong views on Clementine Ford. I don't wish her any physical harm, or even mental for that matter, but she should disappear from any media or social media platform which allows her to air her spiteful views. She really doesn't say anything which has any sense of balance. I would go so far to say that she is quite a damaging influence on both young men and women and their self esteem issues which all young persons confront at one time or another. With regards to your view I bit down a little too hard and I apologise for that.
fair enough although among all your defences of Aloiai and the other players who didn't want to wear the rainbow you did quote that line about “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”
I guess you feel she's the exception that proves the rule.

I believe the difference there may be that she is quoted as saying 'Kill all men', 'Coronavirus isn't killing men fast enough', and 'all men must die'.fair enough although among all your defences of Aloiai and the other players who didn't want to wear the rainbow you did quote that line about “I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.”

Did Aloiai say anything as bad as that?
The difference is that Fords words are easily construed as a call to violence. Aloiai's actions and words, even though you may find them distasteful, are not.

Hmm. Interesting. And Yes a call to violence might certainly justify censorship.
(But I’ll add another comment in the Censorship thread, and save this one for news of badly behaving players)
Rockets up arses – censorship and information control
With 6 billion or so cell phones worldwide, access of the masses to instant communications has created a new dynamic in the crucial area of information control. As information about inequity, the history of corrupt systems, abuse of power and fundamental injustice becomes more and more widely...

Hmm in the media "well-known NRL player" can just about mean anyone who ever held a Steeden in his right hand, I reckon. However if it turns out this person is a Brisbane player, then between that and Payne Haas's issues they are almost Gone for this year.

Which player are you referring to?The one that got charged last week for an incident in Brisbane end of last year?Because if so,it’s widely known who the player is and the club has already stood him down
