Why's it harsh? He's a member of an outlaw motorcycle gang. They're criminals involved in drug trafficking, extortion and many other illegal activities. 

Good riddance.

It's only harsh from the point of view that all the other citizens out there with tattooed faces who aren't criminals have been unfairly portrayed

All law enforcement are right onto this at the moment. There have been escalating incidents in Victoria (at least) the last year or so and no doubt this is part of a crack down on organized crime and in particular bikie gangs.

 

Why deported?

what is his heritage?

Clarrie  Grimmet and Max Gawn aside, they have done little for Australia except freeload.  

They are a cheap and whiny bunch at best but for a 3rd world country they sure can Rugby.

yep, it's almost endearing in a way. Some may call it maintaining a culture consistent with their grass roots and history, today marketing gurus call it branding. They certainly have their unique brand. Infact if you we're being generous they at least stand for something but it may not be something that most of us would aspire to. Before you call me a snob, I have experienced the rich tapestry of life due to my long life, and travels around the world, and not forgetting my pathological excesses in all things. I have come to the conclusion that whatever ones station in life, there is a minimum standard that we need to maintain. I think that minimumstandard is difficult to aspire to for your average Tiger. But to start with my initial point, it is almost endearing in a way, something that could not be said about the culture and standards of that other club that has been the centre of attention for the last 3 years.  I think the Tigers have a certain standard and although not a high one, it is far superior to a club without any standard. I have decided after a lifetime of examining the human condition that in most societies there are the cheaters and the cheated. We know who the cheaters are, and somehow I can see the Tigers being the cheated. Sorry, my mind is wandering so excuse my indulgent ramble. I think it's time that the real footy begins to focus our attention on the passion, obsession,  and indeed addiction that we all have and the winter of escape from our ordinary pointless lives. However, imagine how the refugees that are imprisoned in the camps on-shore and off-shore are feeling. They are not feeling lucky and they are not looking forward to the footy season. The lucky country has been renamed the shameful country. I think it's time to go to bed.

I don't what's happened to me recently, I think I am losing my mind Biff. I think a long sabbatical in a Mediterranean climate, with some good wine and local girl may be the answer.

Be careful with that wish. Having sailed the Med a few times and sampled more than a few of the wines and a few of the locals, I can tell you that the quality of both varies tremendously.
