1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: Jum mission with Jonesy and Amanda.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 2: By now you've seen that shocking footage no doubt of

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Canberra NRL player Curtis Scott being tasered as he was

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,719
Speaker 2: sleeping off a big Australia day under a fig tree,

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: with then a stone's throw of NRL HQ. The judge

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: has thrown the case out, saying that it was excessive

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 2: police force. The police argued, how you're supposed to move

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 2: on a guy that's asleep under a fig tree. I'd

9
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 2: say in the old days they would have just left

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 2: him there, but I guess these days if he wakes

11
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: up and wanders in front of the monorail or something

12
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 2: like that, or a tram, the cops will be responsible

13
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: for him.

14
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: And how has the NRL responded in light of the

15
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: no fault standdown rule.

16
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 3: Well.

17
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: Reading Paul Crawley's column in The Telegraph today, he said

18
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,239
Speaker 2: this highlights exactly why the NRL Integrity Unit needs to

19
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 2: stay out of all police matters involving players who have

20
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,919
Speaker 2: pleaded not guilty so have the right to a presumption

21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: of innocence without being subjected to the court of public opinion.

22
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: Through the no fault standown policy, He also goes on

23
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: to say that the public opinion people say, oh, well,

24
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 2: let's just another football and you know, let's move on.

25
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: It's another football player disgracing himself, and fair enough, there's

26
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: been a lot of them. But I feel in the

27
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 2: case of Curtis Scott, he was heart done by it

28
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: by the police and you watch that video.

29
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 1: Sure, but that's a separate issue to the no fault policy.

30
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,399
Speaker 1: Where does the NRL has a policy that whether you

31
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: are guilty or innocent, until your case is heard, you

32
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: are stood down. If the criminal offense carries a maximum

33
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: GIL sentence of eleven years or more. If it's under

34
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,479
Speaker 1: eleven years, then the NRL I think decides. But many

35
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: players have been caught up in this no fault policy,

36
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: haven't they?

37
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So we've seen the likes of Jack de

38
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 2: Bell and Tyrone May and Manassei Funnu. They all had

39
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: the same thing. Well, what do you think it's like

40
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 2: the French you're guilty before presumed innocent.

41
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 1: I mean this is we have our courts that decide

42
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: and here we have the NRL making an opinion about

43
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: this stuff too, yep, And you have no say until

44
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 1: the court's decision. Comes down, you're punished no matter what.

45
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I look at the incident of Curtis Scott

46
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,839
Speaker 2: in particular, he was you know, he copped a lot

47
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 2: for that, and you know everyone sort of believed the

48
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 2: police over him. But then you see the body cam

49
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: footage and Curtis although he got himself into a situation

50
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 2: which he shouldn't have, he shouldn't have dumped that much.

51
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 2: But having said that, he didn't deserve to be tasered

52
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,079
Speaker 2: twice and handcuffed like he was and then put through

53
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 2: what he's been put through.

54
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: So what's the NRL story with him, because isn't that

55
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: what we're discussing. It's not what the police have done,

56
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: which is a different issue we're discussing.

57
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:37,839
Speaker 2: Here stood him down?

58
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,799
Speaker 1: Have they until we get until he's.

59
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: Yes, it's the faults stand down rule, So he's had

60
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: to go through all that heartache for ages.

61
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 1: Well, the tribal JOm today the no faults stand down rule, What.

62
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,360
Speaker 2: Do you think does it pass the pub test?

63
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: Well, you've got guys like Josh who gets done for

64
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 3: forearms offences doesn't get stood down, and you've got other

65
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: goldnesses and there's now proven to be innocent to getting hammered.

66
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 3: Not fair, not fair at all, within no fault, no, no,

67
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,240
Speaker 3: I don't believe in it. Today's day an age seems

68
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 3: to put a lot of onus onto NRL players and

69
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 3: they're for some reason made out to be heroes and

70
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 3: all the rest of us. And if our youth of

71
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: today is looking up to them, damn straight passes the

72
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 3: pub test. If they're in trouble with the law, then

73
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,320
Speaker 3: how can they be a role model for the youth

74
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 3: of today. So yeah, if you're in trouble with the law,

75
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 3: whether you're innocent or guilty, get out, get out.

76
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,119
Speaker 2: Thank you for all your calls with Joins and Amanda
