    Wayne Carey speaking engagement cancelled in fresh fallout from white powder scandal

    Wayne Carey’s speaking engagement at the annual St Kevin’s Old Boys grand final luncheon was reportedly cancelled at the last minute as the fallout from his infamous white powder saga continues.

    Earlier this month, the 51-year-old was escorted out of Crown Perth when a small bag containing a powdered substance fell out of his pocket.

    The dual-premiership North Melbourne captain said the powder was “crushed up anti-inflammatories” used to treat football injuries.

    Carey maintains he offered to hand the bag to staff after dropping it at a gaming table.

    An investigation from WA Police is ongoing.

    According to a report from The Herald Sun, Carey’s speaking engagement at the SKOB lunch was axed following unease in the room at his attendance.

    “There was concern in the room about Wayne being there which we listened to and a decision was made to remove him from speaking at the event,” SKOB president Patrick Mount told the News Corp publication.

    “Wayne then left. He acted in an extremely professional and courteous manner the entire time.”
    So hang on, he wasn't cancelled prior to the event, but he turned up as scheduled and THEN the chucked him out because of "unease"??

    What, were they uneasy that he didn't bring any crushed anti-inflammatory to share? Why didn't they knock it on the head before he turned up?

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!

    Probably would have let him stay if he had been honest.

    Absolutely!

    As an aside, I love how folk from a catholic school are OK with a sex offending domestic abuser but aren't OK with an alleged recent drug user. So on brand.

    Didn't mean to like this.

    Am an old boy of Skevs and I can say that no one is happy with the "sex offending". Hence the totally justified fallout.

    More the previous Principal (staggeringly) doing the work of some in the upper echelon in the church versus his job (looking after students and making them better people, as if that head to be spelt-out to him)!

    I'm sure nobody's happy with their kids getting abused or being potentially exposed to abuse.

    However from some reports and anecdotal stories I've heard first hand some St Kevins people think they have gotten a bad wrap in public because of the purported sexist/ misogynistic attitudes of some students and the overall culture at the school (that could lead to abusive behaviour towards women). Not saying this refers to you and your mates (it might, I wouldn't know), but that's where the comment stems from and if I've caused offence I apologise (unless you hold sexist/ misogynistic views of course).

    No offence taken.

    Obviously the public bad wrap happens with the bad apples that are everywhere in society in all forms.

    My only beef is that the Headmaster seemed to think his duty was to defending the church no matter what and especially when a student(s) under his watch had been a victim of abuse. This made the media because the parents would not stand for it.

    It forced change for the better and with any luck, the penny has dropped up the top in the church, which has to change to have any sort of relevancy.
