Sounds like something that should be on the Mitchell Johnson thread ...

Jeff kennett gay storm




James Campbell

July 27, 2008 12:00am


EXCLUSIVE: FORMER state premier Jeff Kennett has provoked a gay rights storm by backing a football club that sacked a trainer for being gay.
The Hawthorn president and potential Melbourne lord mayor sparked calls for his sacking after saying Bonnie Doon Football Club was within its rights to sack veteran trainer Ken Campagnolo after it found out he was gay.
"The club felt that once this had been pointed out and you had this gentleman there who was obviously close to young men - massaging young men - it ran an unnecessary risk and that's why it decided it was best that he not perform those duties again. So the club was trying to do the right thing," Mr Kennett said.
"When you are in charge of a group of young boys, as this club was as I understand it, it's got to make sure."
Mr Kennett said it was as if the club had a pedophile trainer.
"It's the same if you have a pedophile there as a masseur, right?"
"And you might say the pedophile would do no damage, but once it was pointed out to you, you have a duty of care to those underage children not to put them in a situation of risk."
He could not guarantee a gay trainer would be welcome at Hawthorn, adding: "I don't know if we've got any.
"I'm just saying at the moment we have a duty of care to our players and staff and you have to make judgments on that. If you don't do it you end up with potential legal liability."
Mr Campagnolo is fighting the Bonnie Doon Football Club, the AFL and Benalla and District Football League in the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal over his 2007 sacking.
On Friday, the AFL failed in a bid to have his complaint against it struck out, with the tribunal ruling the matter must go to mediation.
Mr Campagnolo said he was appalled by Mr Kennett's remarks.
"I am not a pedophile. Does that mean every straight male doctor cannot treat any female patient?" he said.
Rodney Croome, of the Australian Coalition for Equality, said: "Jeff Kennett should immediately step aside from his role in Beyond Blue."

scratch But he used to do most of his posting from work - does that mean he's actually using that time to do something constructive? To do what he's paid to do? Shocked

The big fella pulled out his A-game last night, especially in the 2nd half. On that form, a Cats v Hawks Granny looks pretty short odds.

The panel's having a fiver each way - if they thought Porplyzia had been ambushed they should have sent Thornton up as well. Especially seeing as he was the one that started the sequence of events by pushing Porp into Browne's path.

Did they put Browne up for the sake of being seen to be doing something in the short term, knowing as well as anybody the case will be lucky to last five minutes?

Next bloke to do what Milburn did can look forward to a month off.

In the middle of 'On The Couch' Gerard Healy read an ink-still-wet press release from Eddie which said that Alan Didak and Heath Shaw's previous statements regarding Shaw's exploding breathalyser (.15 last night) were bulldust, and the decision not to suspend either player will be re-opened first thing tomorrow morning.

'Al is for Lamebrain' must be for the high-jump now....Shaw maybe on his last legs also?

(Oops, better mind my manners on this thread, I now notice somebody called 'Allan D' is checking the site out...'
