OK @RugbyAU bosses have put me in a sassy mood. RA are going to pay untested/future @wallabies Joseph Sua'alii $1.6million a year, but only pay their top-tier @WallaroosRugby players $52,000. Is this fair dinkum?
Did police have to charge him? No. They had options including a warning. The charge is a chain reaction: whether it’s $1 or $1m the officer has to be suspended. Likely penalty?good behaviour bond/fine. if convicted - can a dishonest person be a police officer? @7NewsBrisbane
