As I predicted, the horse racing industry (Randwick racing) has asked the government to step in and declare a natural disaster in the Equine Influenza - EI - outbreak. The virus has been found in a thoroughbred at Randwick. This decleration would clear the way for government compensation. The racing industry in Sydney wants this declared a disaster; not farming and not in a remote outback outpost. Money grabbing bastards, how about you dip into some of your ill gotten gains and leave the governemtn to spend its money - hold on, my money - on things like schools and hospitals.
Andrew Johns, arguably the greatest rugby league player of all time has been cautiond for posession of ecstacy (one tab) in London. Acording to the Sydney Morning Herald (I would link to the article were certain blogger functions not missing from my Safari browser on the Macbook...hmmm.)
"Last year, Johns was called in by the NRL's boss, David Gallop, to help young league players negotiate the minefield of temptations available to elite players, following a string of alcohol-fuelled incidents at various clubs."
He is still involved in the game - coaching Quins while on holiday in the UK. What mesage does this send? Wait until your playing career is over, and only just over (he was forced out with injury only this season) and then get into the party drugs? Oh dear.
Hold on a moment, there is an explaination. Phew! You see, an unknown person slipped the eccy into his pocket and he forgot to take it out again. Good enough for me Joey!
