When did we become a Police state? Well I guess Mike Baird has brought in some pretty draconian laws.
My Opinion is not based on whether he has been convicted of anything…you asked why the police were involved I just provided the link...
My opinion is the blokes a Grub and shouldn't be anywhere near influencing kids...

He was convicted of assault occasioning ABH in 2011 in association with the brawl that led to the death of Wilson Castillo outside the Trademark Hotel in Kings Cross in 2010\. One of the security guards went down for manslaughter over it in 2014.
He was also convicted of intimidation in 2013.

I think we all share the same opinion mate. I appreciate the link. My post wasn't having a go at you, more at the current level of govt interference in our lives in recent times. Police have an important role to play in our civil society but it is not telling someone they cannot employ a person because of alleged actions for which they haven't been convicted.

I thought you were just making a general comment that he hadn't been convicted of anything, hence the response. I'm sure they are basing their actions on more recent and probably more concerning intel. Again, they're not saying they can't employ him as they have no power to do that, they're saying it's a bad idea and showing them why they think it's a bad idea. Without knowing the intel it's hard to say whether they're justified one way or the other. As a general principle though I have no problem with pro-active policing. If you see a problem developing then do something about it rather than waiting for it to all blow up and then go in arresting everybody.
Until they start throwing powers around you're a long way off a police state…
