Am I too young to remember or is this Slater stuff open knowledge?
Does/did he have a drugs problem or something?

I would hate to be on the wrong end of Michael Slater. Remember the incident with Rahul Dravid in India, when he acted like a spoilt child.
And yeah his comments in relation to ScoMo and how he handled covid , and him saying that he had 3 children to feed and a mortgage pay was delusional.

Can see Slater going down the poor house given he said this and now this incident.
If Slater wasn't a cricketer , he would not have received bail.

Sounds like great TV. They'd be all over that surely.
Its the visuals of having a convicted DV perpetrator and woman stalker on telly that would (rightly) keep them away.
Or at least I hope it would. Wayne Carey still has a TV job after all.

That was my first thought - using the grog/drugs as an excuse, its not because he's an arsehole
the media/boys club back such persons. "everyone makes mistakes, people deserve 2nd chances".
Except the regular joes like us
I think this is one of the rare occasions where the person genuinely has some serious mental health problems. He seems completely unhinged at the moment. If he doesn't get help I can't see this ending well for him and potentially his ex/kids.
Yeah, undoubtedly. But not everyone (not even a majority) who have diagnosed Bipolar Disorder don't engage in (alleged) domestic violence. So while I definitely have empathy for his situation, it doesn't explain his behaviour. That's something he has to own.

You must be living under a rock if you think Indigenous incarceration rates are low
Who the heck said that? What on earth does that have to do with white people being given bail based on their race? Explain??

Like i said
If he was an Indigenous man off the streets he would be incarcerated until court
You must live in a nice cosy place to not notice
What evidence do you have to make such a statement?
I know this isn't the thread for this, but it's fairly well-established around the difference in bail conditions for Indigenous vs non-Indigenous people: https://www.judcom.nsw.gov.au/publi...ginal defendants are,custodial sentences.[40]
It's obviously not specific to DV charges or breaching AVOs, but you could presume it would hold true for those offences.

Thanks mate
I can't fathom how you would presume Indigenous men get the same bail conditions as a non Indigenous
Right, so aboriginal people get bail less often, but commit 4 times as many murders, 10 times as many robberies and 12 times as many grand theft autos?
It’s almost as if, aboriginal people get less bail because they commit more serious crimes? Has that ever crossed your brilliant mind? Or does it not fit your narrative?
Did you even ******* read the paper? Or only pick out sentences that you liked? It doesn’t help your point at all.
