The SMH website has just reported that Canberra Raiders star halfback has been ordered to do 200 hours of community service as well as having his licence suspended for another decade, meaning he won’t be legally permitted to drive until 2021.

Let’s hope somebody has learnt their lesson otherwise he’ll be playing for the Goulburn Goalbirds next season…

According to WIN news tonight he’s banned til 2012 (including the extra 12 months he’s just been hit with).

I also thought 2021 was extremely harsh … not even murderers stay in prison for that long these days.

ABC Radio said tonight that it’s 2009.

I was gonna say I that until 2021 was pretty harsh

Daily Telegraph are reporting it as banned until 2009. more confused! either way let’s hope the inevitable of jail for another offence is enough for him to make better choices. i do wonder though if others would have been so lucky in his situation if they weren’t a sports star.

Those dyslexics over at SMH are now reporting it to be 2012. I’m so confused…

Local ABC website suggests Ari may be right:
“An existing driving ban imposed by a Goulburn court in March has been extended by the ACT court for a further year, taking the total disqualification period to three years.”

I hope the kid gets what all this means. Despite acts of silliness and irresponsibility, he has not killed anyone. This might be what stops him from having a seriously bad prang.

Other reports are that the licence suspension was only extended until 2009.
