Shitty happenings.  
FWIW, from someone who lived in Brisbane for 23 years and Sydney for the last 5. Sydney drivers are deplorable on a good day. In comparison, they make Brisbane drivers look like kind-hearted good-samaritans, who are will sweep the road in front of you while they tell you how great you look, then help you balance at traffic lights with their big fat tits.  
Heaven forbid someone would merge in front of you! Sydney drivers can go and get fucked.

Original article says he was picked up by Nick D’Arcy after the incident. Maybe he king-hit him off his skateboard.

Are Olympic swimmers all d-bags?

I was going to join in the chorus and say “Idiot little man”, but then I saw the photo of him in the hospital bed and thought, he’s just a regular, hard working and genuine bloke who made a mistake.

not

Maybe Swimming Australia should send him a strong message of their own.

Maybe he’s under contract that doesn’t let him do “dangerous” sports like skateboarding.

Maybe he’s just an idiot.
