If NSW Police Minister David Elliott has his way, serial roughneck Payne Haas will be rocking up to Centrelink Monday morning and declaring himself unfit for work. The NRL integrity unit, which is responsible for molding roughnecks into upstanding hardmen, is expected to suspend Haas for the opening rounds and fine him $20,000. But Elliott says that's not enough blood, especially for a - gasp - Muslim:
“My personal view — given that he blatantly threatened violence against a woman and also because he has form — is that they should rid the game of him. I’m very confident Peter V’landys will deal with him in an appropriate manner. It’s a bad image for this behaviour to be condoned — the magistrate penalty was disappointing to say the least. It wasn’t a case of him telling a copper to get stuffed; he verbally abused two police officers, one of whom was a woman. The last time this happened, he claimed he was converting to Islam and would not be drinking any more and then goes and gets drunk. It really goes to his credibility.”
Crime state boss: justice must be served.
Trusty sidekick Crime State Police Commissioner Mick Fuller doubled down with menace:
"You’d have to be living under a rock not to know that policing in NSW … is very different to anywhere else in the world."
New South Welshman
The NRL Integrity Commission is also understood to be looking very closely at another serial New South Welshman, Kotoni Staggs, with similar reservations about his ability to integrate into the Sunshine State culture.
