The lawyers for alleged racist, Sam Kerr, have announced that they will try to have the charge of racially abusing a police office dropped. Good luck with that. The Poms are red not on race things - a lot hotter than here,

What should be 'dropped' is Kerr herself - from soccer.

There are already headlines bleating "What are we going to tell them", referring to little girls, to whom this person is a 'heroine', wanting to follow in her footsteps.

The days when sporting people could be held up to youngsters as a good example have gone down the toilet with all the other things that once made Australia a great place.

Shadow Minister,

It has not been tried in the way it was proposed.
Therein was the difference.

Talking about Australia being a "good place" for sports people?

Not everyone would agree. Certainly not Aboriginal Australian
players like Adam Goodes - who was booed by spectators. Nor
Israel Folau who had his contract terminated. Nor the Hawthorn
Football Club's historical record of its treatment of
Aboriginal players, to name just a few.

Who said Australia was a good place for sports people? What prompted Foxy to say - apropos of nothing it seems - “Talking about Australia being a "good place" for sports people?”

I suppose people in a frenzy of commenting on everything as many times as possible tend to be careless with their reading of what others write.
