Hi Sherro,

I believe that the previous three writers in relation to this issue are wrong.


Investigative Journalism is responsible for keeping this fair country of ours running as one of the least corrupt nations in the world, however; we still get copious amounts of prosecutions and hearings in court systems, ASIC, ACCC and probably a few others that I have forgotten, in relation to private conversations and dealings.


The fact that this was a private conversation doesn't make an ounce of difference, if he has committed an offence by law or infringed in the players code of conduct in any way, he is at liberty to be sanctioned for it, even if it is a result of Investigative Journalism.

I guess Paul Harris and crew are just as keen as Brian Burke, Julian Grill, Rodney Adler, Bernie Madorf and that Firepower Johnston fellow, along with copious amounts of others, to not let private conversations get out in the public domain.

I would also like to confirm a recent prosecution in relation to a Facebook offence in Northam I believe, where a young fellow was found guilty of defaming another.

If this story does find it's way into the public domain, through whichever means, the bowler should be subject to sanctions if he has legally defamed someone or brought the game into disrepute.
