Port’s Finlayson ‘cut deeply’ over his homophobic slur
Port Adelaide forward Jeremy Finlayson has been “cut deeply” after making a homophobic slur that resulted in a three-game AFL suspension, his coach Ken Hinkley says.
Finlayson was banned for a slur directed at an Essendon opponent in last Saturday night’s game at Adelaide Oval.
“The reality was, as has been well reported, Jeremy knew straight away he had made a mistake,” Hinkley told reporters on Friday.
“And he’s the sort of person who … that would cut deeply for him. He doesn’t want to be that person.”
A remorseful Finlayson informed club officials of the incident at three-quarter-time of Saturday’s match, and apologised to the Essendon player post-game.
Hinkley said the 28-year-old had shown “his ownership of the whole situation right from the very start”.
“He knew he made the mistake immediately and he handled it very well,” the coach said.
“(I am) someways proud of the way he was able to handle it and deal with the situation, as difficult as it was for everyone involved.
“It’s an opportunity for us to all understand and learn – and there’s still more to be learnt in those areas of our game, that we don’t need to go to those places.”
In March, North Melbourne coach Alastair Clarkson was fined $20,000 and given a suspended two-match ban for a homophobic slur against St Kilda’s Dougal Howard and Jimmy Webster during a trial game.
The Kangaroos coach on Friday sidestepped the discrepancy between his penalty and that for Finlayson.
“You’re asking the wrong person, that’s the AFL you need to ask in terms of how do they set their standards and what their sanctions are,” Clarkson told reporters.
“All I can do is just accept the fact that I made a blue on the day and https://chungchinghecacloai.com/ did everything I possibly could to rectify that … and accept the sanctions that have been imposed by the AFL.
“All anyone in any walk of life wants to be done is treated in terms of their particular case and their particular circumstances.
“And I don’t know the circumstances of Jeremy’s, and the AFL has seen fit to make judgment.
“Then if there’s discrepancy or concern with that, then it’s better off to direct that at the AFL rather than me.”
Finlayson will miss Saturday night’s match against Fremantle and following games against Collingwood and St Kilda after being suspended by the AFL’s integrity unit.
The former Greater Western Sydney player, like Clarkson, will also have to pay for and undertake a Pride in Sport education program.
“Jeremy, he’s fine, he’s OK. He’s moving on with what he needs to move on with,” Hinkley said.
“He understands exactly what’s gone on this week and understands the mistakes that went with that.
“And he’s handled it, I think, in the best possible way he could, knowing that he made the mistake.”
Solomon Islands election watched by US, China amid Pacific…
By Kirsty Needham and Lucy Craymer
April 12 (Reuters) – A national election in the Solomon Islands, the first since Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare signed a security pact with Beijing, will be watched next week for its potential to jolt the U.S.-China rivalry in the South Pacific.
The United States and Australia are concerned about China’s naval ambitions in Pacific countries, as tensions rise over Taiwan.
Despite its population of just 700,000, the Solomon Islands occupies a strategic position 1,600km (990 miles) northeast of Australia, strewn with World War Two wrecks that remind it was once a pivotal battlefield.
Voters will be focused on hospitals struggling without medicines, education shortcomings and inadequate roads when they cast ballots on April 17, opposition party lawmakers said.
But Sogavare’s rapid embrace of China since he won power four years ago – including inviting Chinese police into the archipelago and switching diplomatic ties from Taiwan – is also in the spotlight.
“The services and economy are really in a desperate situation. The issue of China and this new relationship is also important. That is a source of anger towards Sogavare,” said Democratic Alliance Party leader Rick Houenipwela, who was prime minister before Sogavare.
Sogavare, installed as prime minister by independent candidates who won a combined 37% of the vote in 2019, has pointed to hosting the Pacific Games as a major achievement and pledged to strengthen relations with China.
China donated stadiums for lam bang cap 3 the Games, and is building ports, roads and a Huawei telecommunications network.
Opposition parties said they would scrap the China security pact or hold a national referendum on it, and reduce China’s influence by accepting more infrastructure support from U.S. allies.
‘NOT CONVINCED’
Peter Kenilorea, whose United Party won 10% of votes in 2019, said he wants Solomon Islands to return to being a reliable partner of Australia and New Zealand, and would abolish the China security pact.
“We’re not convinced it’s in the interests of Solomon Islands,” he said.
Closely watched will be election results in Malaita, the most populous province, which has long criticised deepening China ties and is where opposition parties hope to gain nine seats.
Malaita’s governor Daniel Suidani refused to allow Chinese companies to operate in the province until he was ousted in a no-confidence vote last year.
His replacement, Martin Fini, has signed Chinese cooperation deals, including last week, when China’s special envoy for the Pacific Qian Bo visited Malaita.
The prime minister is selected by winning lawmakers, often weeks after the election results.
Houenipwela’s party has formed a coalition with Matthew Wale’s Solomon Islands Democratic Party, which won the biggest vote (14%) in 2019, and is seeking a combined majority of 26 seats.
Australian National University Pacific expert Graeme Smith said the shift away independents was a significant development this election, with Sogavare also convincing many government members to join his new party.
Australia has sent 400 police and military to assist Royal Solomon Islands Police Force (RSIPF) with election security, alongside New Zealand and Pacific forces. Chinese police will remain in a training role, the RSIPF said.
Election observer groups from Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific, Japan, Europe and the U.S. will monitor voting and counting, with national and provincial polls held on the same day.
Sogavare, who didn’t respond to a request for comment, has said publicly he would not host a Chinese military base – which Washington and Canberra have said is a red line.
China says its security cooperation Solomon Islands is a sovereign matter for the two countries and has denied it wants a military base, but U.S. military leaders remain unconvinced.
“The increased policing presence in the Solomon Islands is concerning, that’s a foot in the door, and then we’ll see where it goes from there,” Commander of the United States Indo Pacific Command, Admiral John Aquilino, said in an interview. “But the goal is to have the ability to deliver infrastructure and ultimately a place for Chinese military power.” (Reporting by Kirsty Needham and Lucy Craymer; Editing by Lincoln Feast)
