# Wow. Plenty of insight into the Australasian press there (quite interesting for a Pom local news hack like me).
"The Herald played an important role in forcing those changes, with a 2003 article, "The Dark Side of the Game", the first to highlight the group sex culture within the code after an incident involving three Bulldogs players in Coffs Harbour."

"Unfortunately for him, Johns is now paying for the high profile he has since developed off the field and the fact that his involvement became known when he was a media superstar rather than a washed up five-eighth whose crook knees were about to force an end to his playing career at the end of the 2002 season."

Crikey. (It'd take a brave editor to publish this under English law)

Our Aussie cousins haven't discovered the great, refreshing taste of "Cunty Chops" yet, of course.

# Yep. Under English law, both the quoted paragraphs are literally defamatory (although that doesn't necessarily count for much), and:
"The Herald played an important role in forcing those changes, with a 2003 article, "The Dark Side of the Game", the first to highlight the group sex culture within the code after an incident involving three Bulldogs players in Coffs Harbour."

Depending on the size of the squad, this could be libellous to every single member thereof. Implying sex crime on this scale (20-40 individuals?), without evidence? Newspaper out of business.

"Unfortunately for him, Johns is now paying for the high profile he has since developed off the field and the fact that his involvement became known when he was a media superstar rather than a washed up five-eighth whose crook knees were about to force an end to his playing career at the end of the 2002 season."

Dodgy. Clearly defamatory, certainly insulting, and could possibly damage his future earnings. I'd advise him against it, but in England a barrister might consider taking on a case for libel for him.

You've just defined Australia in the most concise way possible.
