On what form isn’t he eligibleMy issue is with him taking the indigenous court route, abusing the system as it was never designed for football players on 200K plus salary’s. Gross misuse of the system and poor form imo.

I agree that it shouldn't be transferred to the indigenous court but for different reason, nothing to do with money. Yes Wighton identifies as being indigenous but for me thats not enough to have it transferred across. The indigenous court was designed yes for the imbalance of indigneous population imprisoned but the main reason was for the more rural remote communitites where there its like a whole new world in that environment, they stick within their community and aren't accustomed to most Australian ways that we are accustomed to, it also another reason why their health is poor as they don't use hospitals as frequent as we do and can be quite traumatizing for them. Jack wighton is very much accustomed to Australian way and laws/practices so shouldn't be eligible.My issue is with him taking the indigenous court route, abusing the system as it was never designed for football players on 200K plus salary’s.

If you’ve ever been to a remote aboriginal community you would be saying he is taking the piss .Your right , he shouldn’t be eligible.I agree that it shouldn't be transferred to the indigenous court but for different reason, nothing to do with money.

Good to identify when it suits lolOn what form isn’t he eligible
Doesn’t matter if he’s on 20k or 500k if he identifies as indigenous he’s eligible
The magistrate reviews the decision of this court to see if it’s fair for the crime he has committed
Do you know Jack and how he identifies??If you’ve ever been to a remote aboriginal community you would be saying he is taking the piss .
See if it would pass the pub test ??As for his legal representatives advising it , of cause they did and he as an adult excepted it . Disgusting!!!.

.Do you know Jack and how he identifies??
Maybe you should hold judgement on someone you don’t know personally as that is bordering on racist
Wake up to yourself . Probably never been out of Sydney .If you had ever been into an indigenous community and seen the struggle you would know what your talking about . It’s called white privlidge and this is a massive case of it .How much money is he wasting going through this system where people actually need it is he going to donate back to his people . He’s taking the easy option and it’s the same as people feigning mental illness to help there own cause . Does nothing for the people that actually need it .Do you know Jack and how he identifies??

Greg bird was also sacked and rightly so then got picked up by the titans??This is a common theme in the legal system not just limited to Wighton
How many accused use Legal Aid when they can fund their own defence?
How many before Wighton in his situation have been referred to an ingenious court?
How many get referred to drug court and never once attend rehab?
How many get found guiltyand immediately get adjourned for mental health? (Blake Ferguson)
How many pay others to lie in court? (Greg Bird)
Very few people when criminally charged accept full responsibility for their actions. The system allows individuals to argue any mitigating circumstances and this is always taken full advantage of.
All I’m saying it’s a big claim to make considering you have never met Jack WightonWake up to yourself .

I never mentioned his race nor what he identifies as until you brought it up . I said that system is not designed for people that are living large on a big salary . It’s designed for those that have been pushed aside in our community and forgotten about . As I said white privilege until it suitsAll I’m saying it’s a big claim to make considering you have never met Jack Wighton
You are calling me out on it, just hoping you have your facts right on someone you have never met
Was referring to your point he shouldn’t be sacked because someone else will pick him up . That in itself is a selfish attitude. What sort of message does that show the junior players . We won’t sack you for assaulting 5 people cause you go alright .Melbourne’s no dickhead policy is a good example of how it works wellThat is irrelevant to the point. I was referring to his piss take of the legal system.

Like what you wanted to do to Matt Lodge lol. Also I wonder how much compensation he is going to pay each of those 5 victims . Surely couldn’t expect poor little jack to pay over a millionaire dollars to each could we ??Perhaps you should quote the correct point then.
How is it selfish wanting to help him through a tough time? Should Canberra just sack and let him deal with it in his own?
I think he should be stood down for the year, no issues with that but not sacked

I want to go to the convict court, I am sure I will get off.Refresh me, what did I personally want to do to Lodge? Not play until he had taken responsibility? Maybe similar to what I have asked for Wighton?
My issue with Lodge was that he hadn’t taken full responsibility and his self serving interview proved that.
Compensation works very differently in the US, I am sure whatever is awarded he will pay.
