You can be damn sure if it was Fyfe ignoring the rules to go surfing again, or Buckley to have a hit of tennis (or more?) again, no expense would have been spared and the lawyers would have them out within hours.

This may be way off the mark, but the prospect of him sitting in jail to the 6th feels to me like he has been abandoned to some degree.

It does but I wonder if they just don't think asking him to quarantine for 14 days is something he will do. Would one of those ankle monitor systems be a better outcome?

I really don’t want to get into it on a football site, so I’ll just say the unnecessary incarceration of an indigenous person, even on this relatively small scale, can’t possibly meet whatever justice aim they’re shooting for and leave it at that.

Yeah, I've been biting my tongue in the name of harmony knowing this isn't quite the place for it but we have a thread devoted to Stack's story so, even aside from the ham-fisted notion of policing your way through a public health problem this is some first-class, carceral colonialist bullshit which in the national context, Western Australia's exceptionally good at.

Yeah, I'm all for personal responsbility but this heavy handed approach is complete BS.

Completely and totally 100% agree. A hamfisted overreaction that appears to be blind and deaf to circumstances.

Can't agree with this more.

He's a multiple time goose, but come on, jail?
