RSL members in uproar after Hemmes snaps up city premises (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A CBD branch of the peak veterans group has outmanoeuvred its own members to sell their building to pub tsar Justin Hemmes for $19 million. Hemmes’ Merivale Group on Tuesday completed its purchase of the Barrack Street building formerly occupied by the Combined Services RSL sub-branch, weeks before the planned settlement date, after RSL NSW stripped dozens of members of their voting rights amid claims of branch stacking. The branch-stacking allegations have outraged veterans who joined the branc
‘Match report’: FitzSimons takes the field in Jones trial (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Former Wallabies second-rower Peter FitzSimons does not have a bad word to say about Alan Jones’ talents as a rugby coach. FitzSimons played under Jones at the Manly Rugby Club, and in 2017 touted him as a potential Waratahs coach, which he said would have the double benefit of getting him off the airwaves.

Seven Hills RSL general manager Joseph Bayssari was found to have received undisclosed weekly payments from a club contractor that amounted to more than $280,000 over a period of four-and-a-half years, as well as free food and hospitality, for
Gambling reform package is a loss disguised as a win (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There is a particular feature of poker machine play that raises the pulses of reform advocates and gamblers alike, known as “losses disguised as wins”. The lights flash and the bells ring and the machine celebrates the spin like a win, but the payout is less than the amount wagered. Depending how far you wind back the time machine on this state’s slow descent into poker machine addiction, the Minns government’s long-awaited gambling reform package could be described as a loss disguised as a win.
