But not to drive Hunter to Gowers house.

No it is not under NSW law. His home is in Melbourne.
Similar situation to the NSW Minister who got fined and had to resign.

Nothing wrong with visiting your girlfriend.
It's not being pedantic, taking Hunter to Gowers is none essential travel and against the law. The rest of us are following the rules so these guys should be too.

Under Victorian law?

Very suss. It is either being drunk or falling asleep at the wheel or a combination of both. The only other reason is excessive speed.
Don’t want to hang assumptions but.... come on we are not fools. Out with the truth.
As for his reason. Totally understand we all react differently to circumstances but he needs to pay the price for his actions. The fact that he has brought the club and game into disrepute also requires punishment.

Will be interesting to see if Smith tells the cops that he could not smell alcohol on Hunter, and Gowers says that Hunter drank an appropriate amount of booze to give Hunter the alcohol breath test level.
Maybe Hunter can and should defend the DUI charge.

Hunter will be paying for the repairs to 5 cars if he is done for DUI. That will cost him probably > $30k.

Re: Lachie Hunter charged with Dink Driving
It has been made very clear that you are allowed to visit partners that do not live with you. Bailey Smith did no wrong by visiting his partners house.
For those piling on him for driving Hunter somewhere because it's against lockdown measures, if one of your good friends came to your front door and said 'hey mate, I've just had a fight with my fiance, I need a lift' you'd presumably just tell them it's not your business and to bugger off?

Yes.
Especially if he had just crashed into 4 parked cars and wanted to take off before the cops came.
Maybe some of us are just taking the non essential travel thing a bit more serious.

Re: Lachie Hunter charged with Dink Driving
It does all seem a little too perfect doesn't it?
I was perfectly sober, smashed into 4 cars, took 5 minutest to tell the neighbors and leave details, just happened to see my young co-worker passing by, got a lift to a mate's place and proceeded to get drunk.

If you say it like that I don't see what the problem is. Case closed!
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

I honestly thought that was very clear to all with the initial reports

That's not how it works is it? You can only be judged at the time you have taken the test and people involved in accidents are tested
Had he waited then who knows
Based on the tests he will lose his license for 12 months
There might be a lot more to this but of what we know he is incredibly lucky no one was hurt
