Absolute joke, when you think of all the eastern europeans that come in thanks to our links to brilliant EU, that offer nothing to the country, compared to what Greg Bird would offer

Are you sure you haven't been jipped here af? Nobody else is reporting it (even Aussie media)?

Yeah, I've not been able to find this story as yet. So maybe all is not lost just yet

Article doesn't say, just says he's confirmed he won't appeal it.

We will probably never know the exact details in his agreement with Cronulla or the exact details of his working Visa rejection. But I do find it troubling that a man who has only been accused of a crime and not found guilty of anything now finds himself unable to work in his preferred field presumably due to an accusation of a crime.

Actually, it looks to have been removed from the Article.
