Former NRL star Brett Finch has been sentenced to two years’ imprisonment, which will be served in the community, for expressing “depraved” child abuse fantasies about teenage boys on an online messaging platform in a futile attempt to seek drugs.
Judge Phillip Mahony said on Wednesday that Finch’s plan was “plainly absurd” and had no hope of success, but accepted that Finch’s motivation was a desire for drugs. Mahony said Finch’s “morally reprehensible” offending was unsophisticated and did not involve actual children, with the messages sent between midnight and 7am while the former footballer was on a “drug-fuelled binge on cocaine”.
Finch told a psychologist he had a “wake-up call” or “epiphany” to stop using the chat service when someone offered him an opportunity to abuse two young girls. Finch said he realised he was dealing with a “sick f---” and told them to “f--- off”. Over his NRL career, Finch was a halfback for the Canberra Raiders, Sydney Roosters, Parramatta Eels, and Melbourne Storm, playing a total of 270 games. He won a premiership with Melbourne in 2009 and played three State of Origins for NSW, sealing a win for the Blues with a field goal in 2006.

gmitch_news _SarahMcPhee Surely higher authorities request a review of the sentence , dangerous precedent if what Brett Finch did does not warrant even a minimal jail sentence his actions now set a benchmark for what disgusting things you can do & still not go to jail abcnews 9NewsSyd 2GB873

Follow the 9News live breaking news blog throughout the daySydney activist Danny Lim, known for his quirky political signs, has been hospitalised after a police arrest in the city's CBD. The 78-year-old was pushed to the ground inside the QVB after allegedly failing to comply with move on orders. 9News LATEST: What wankers The police don't have any better procedures in place to deal with that type of scenario than to put the old guy face first into the ground? Good grief. The man is 78 yo and slightly built! Any kind of rough handling would topple him over and obviously potentially cause an injury/broken bones. Wtf

‘Fascinated’ to see what the audience raises: Sky News People’s ForumSky News Chief Anchor Kieran Gilbert says he’s “fascinated” to see what the audience raises at the Sky News People’s Forum. Mr Gilbert says over the past few years it’s been a “pretty difficult” and “divisive” time in Victoria. Premier Daniel Andrews and Opposition Leader Matt Guy will go head-to-head in a Sky News People's Forum, taking questions from undecided voters live on TV and on SkyNews.com.au, on Tuesday November 22 at 6:30pm. HOOOOOO THE UNVACCINATED ARE COMIN' GET READY Indeed, small minds are always in a state of 'fascination'. Whoa! Going plural on attendees (that aren’t paid to attend) seems pretty ambitious for Sky. Kudos.

Donald Trump storms ahead of Ron DeSantis as GOP presidential favouriteFormer US president Donald Trump is dominating Florida Governor Ron DeSantis to win the 2024 GOP presidential nomination following his official campaign launch last week, according to a new poll. The November 18-19 Emerson College Polling national survey of US voters found that in a hypothetical 2024 Republican Primary, Donald Trump leads with 55 per cent support followed by Ron DeSantis with 25 per cent. Have these people lost their minds? That's the guy who tried to end us all with deadly Tweets. That depends on the poll, because others have been released that have DeSantis ahead. And any poll that says differently will be said by the Trump people to be 'biased'. Again though, we are nearly two years out from the end of the Republican Primary. This crap needs to stop. DeSantis had 'electoral success' in Florida as the state has one of the most blatant gerrymanders in the USA as well as highly activeand effective voter disenfranchisement programs across the state. Some red states love him but he like Trump will not win as both too polarising
