Completely agree, mike.

I just watched the ABC news report, and am struggling to see any "bias".

McHale said, following the story about Fyfe (on the face of it breaking the rules):

In news just in, I am happy to report police have confirmed Nat Fyfe had a valid exemption, and will not face any penalties.

Bias towards who, or against who?

Always room for a bit of ABC bashing Jack. Its called confirmation bias.

Leather, Jacket, SS for the sake of consistency I assume you were all down along the coast of Perth, WA today taking Kodak’s and video of ALL those flouting the social distancing laws? Or is not a good look ONLY when the Fremantle captain is caught going for a surf?

Nat Fyfe goes surfing & goes free. Next time you're in the surf just say "I'm with Nat"
At least he drove across three zones & had to wash that off.

Said minister should have known better, can't have a state government saying one thing and Harwin doing something completely opposite. Have heard said minister has resigned.

At least Lachie was only twice the limit & took off with Bailey Smith but caught quickly. Fined over a grand for being out on the loose & lost licence.. DICKHEAD. Only smathed into four cars.. Real DOG

Another wonderful example of the AFL's level of control over their players.
In trump like fashion the AFL assures us that letting loose for a 144 game season these leaders of society for whom isolation laws don't apply doesn't create any danger to ordinary Joe Public because they are responsible human beings who will adhere to all the necessary rules in place.

Faark all to do with the AFL.

More about an individual player's level of control over himself.

Not defending the guys behavior but these lock down rules must be having a mental impact of peoples lives generally. It's going to and already doing internal damage I reckon.

I agree, yet it will only take one players lack of control to start or restart an epidemic in Aus if they are let loose.
Who ever said one man can't change the world has never eaten a raw bat from a wet market.
