NRL.com media release, $20,000 and two match suspension (one suspended for 12 months) breach notice with 5 days to respond.

Accepts there was provocation but that there are still expectations on players to respond appropriately.

Why does he get 1 suspended when he's got more form than Phar Lap?

Can't link from my phone.

From a professional point of view the players should have walked away.

But from my own personal point of view I can still sympathise with the players. I don’t believe you can reason with racists. They’ll use every excuse in the book (“he’s playing the race card”, “harden up princess”, “political correctness gone mad”) and they’ll feel validated that they can continue being racist d*ckheads.

They’ll use their ignorance and bigotry as a shield. They’ll show they’re never going to be decent human beings. So perhaps a punch in the face is the only language they’ll ever understand.

I’m so sick of this sh*t. Indian cricket players and spectators being racially abused. Brent Naden being racially abused at a central coast NRL game. Every time it happens it makes our country look like a racist, uneducated backwater. It’s f*cking embarrassing and we’re in the year 2021 but thanks to a minority of brain dead knuckle draggers we might as well be in the 1950s. When is enough going to be enough?
Andrew Symonds says 'hi'.

Harbhajan and billions of Indians say to Symonds 'would you like a banana. Ooo,. Aaa. Eeee'

Care factor about Indians = less than zero.

The REAL truth about Australia Day.
Australia Day has nothing to do with Captain Cook or Botany Bay
The Landing of Captain Cook at the site of Sydney happened on the 28th of April 1770 - NOT on the 26th of January 1770.
The first fleet arrived in Australia on 18 January 1788 and landed at Botany Bay on 20 January 1788.
AUSTRALIA DAY CELEBRATES THE DAY ALL AUSTRALIANS STOPPED BEING BRITISH CITIZENS AND BECAME AUSTRALIAN CITIZENS IN 1949.
Facts about Australia Day
Our Education system and the popular press is not competently advising our children !! Twisting the truth a bit.
Don't expect the media to educate you, that's not part of their agenda. Australia Day does not celebrate the arrival of the first fleet or the invasion of anything.
The First Fleet arrived in Botany Bay on the 18th of January. However, Captain Cook's landing was included in Australia Day celebrations as a reminder of a significant historical event.
Since the extravagant bicentenary celebrations of 1988, when Sydney-siders decided Captain Cook's landing should become the focus of the Australia Day commemoration, the importance of this date for all Australians has begun to fade.
Now, a generation later, it's all but lost.
This is because our politicians and educators have not been doing a good job promoting the day. Our politicians have not been advertising the real reason for Australia Day, and our educators have not been teaching our children the importance of the 26th of January to all Australians.
The media, as usual, is happy to twist the truth for the sake of controversy.
In recent years, the media has helped fan the flames of discontent among the Aboriginal community. Many are now so offended by what they see as a celebration of the beginning of the darkest days of Aboriginal history, they want the date changed.
Various local Councils are seeking to remove themselves from Australia Day celebrations, even refusing to participate in citizenship ceremonies, and calls are going out to have Australia Day on a different day.
The big question is, why has the Government allowed this misconception to continue?
Captain Cook didn't land on the 26th of January. So changing the date of any celebration of Captain Cook's landing would not have any impact on Australia Day, but maybe it would clear the way for the truth about Australia Day.
The reality is, the Aborigines in this country suffered under the hands of British colonialism. This is as much Australia's history as the landing of the first fleet, and both should be remembered, equally. Both should be taught, side by side, in our schools.
Australians of today reject what was done under British governance to the Aborigines. We reject what was done under British governance to the Irish and many other cultures around the world. So, after the horrors of WWII, we decided to fix it.
We became our own people.
On the 26th of January 1949, the Australian nationality came into existence when the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was enacted. That was the day we were first called Australians and allowed to travel with Passports as Australians.
Under the Nationality Act 1920 (Cth), all Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders born after January 1, 1921, gained the status of British subjects. In 1949, therefore, they automatically became Australian citizens under the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948.
Before that special date, all people living in Australia, including Aborigines born after 1921, were called 'British Subjects' and forced to travel on British Passports and fight in British wars.
We all became Australians on the same day! This is why we celebrate Australia Day on the 26th of January!
This was the day Australians became free to make our own decisions about which wars we would fight and how our citizens would be treated. It was the day Aborigines were declared Australians.
Until this date, Aborigines were not protected by law. For the first time since Cook's landing, this new Act gave Aboriginal Australians by inference and precedent the full protection of Australian law.
Because of this Act, the government became free to help Aborigines, and since that day much has been done to assist Aboriginal Australians, including saying 'sorry' for the previous atrocities done before this law came into being.
This was a great day for all Australians!
This is why the 26th of January is the day new Australians receive their citizenship. It is a day which celebrates the implementation of the Nationality and Citizenship Act of 1948 - the Act which gave freedom and protection to the first Australians and gives all Australians, old and new, the right to live under the protection of Australian Law, united as one nation.
Now, isn't that cause for celebration?
Education is key! There is a great need for education on the real reason we celebrate Australia Day on the 26th of January. This reason needs to be advertised and taught in schools. We all need to remember this one very special day in Australia's history, when freedom came to all Australians.
What was achieved that day is something for which all Australians can be proud!
We need to remember both the good and the bad in our history, but the emphasis must be the freedom and unity all Australians now have, because of what was done on the 26th of January 1949, to allow all of us to live without fear in a land of peace.
Isn't it time all Australians were taught the real reason we celebrate Australia Day on Jan 26th?
They landed at Botany Bay but saw it was shithouse. Then they made their way to Port Jackson.

Didn't that upset some people.?
Yeah. On both sides of the argument.

Hopefully old mate that got the ball rolling on it takes up the cause that anyone named Tom has his siblings sterilised so he can't become an uncle. Then fight the evil conspiracy between biscuit companies and rename the water cracker.

I like the way we are all supposed to be able to get behind THE REAL TRUTH behind Australia day because it isn't about white people landing on Jan 26, it's about how we can all get behind Jan 26 because that's the day white people declared Aboriginals can now be called Australians instead of British subjects. Now THAT's progress.

I too am amazed at the shadowy conspiracy of media & educators who are somehow holding back this inspiring hidden gem of a fact about of white people letting Aboriginals be called Australian from taking the nation by storm.

Kids were spending too much time waterboarding them with milk. Then biting their legs off so they couldn't run away. So they banned them. I think it probably saved society, I shudder to think where we would be now if those delicious little bastards were still available.
