As he was still a contracted AFL player at the time does that give him 4 strikes under the illicit drugs policy? Wonder what the AFL can do here? Massive fine?

Dunno but assuming the AFL want as little to do with any of this as possible, they wont be creating any headlines unless forced to.
$2500 fine and no conviction recorded.
That is pittance to a guy earning $350K pa, may as well spanked him on the bottom with a wet Herald.

As some of us posted the moment this broke, it was a load of over-inflated BS, the media will be so disappoint.
Something like this may be better ......
The 37-year-old Swedish man was driving at two and a half times the speed limit in his £140,000 Mercedes and police said he was travelling so fast it took him some distance to stop.
In Switzerland speeding fines are worked out using a formula based on the income of the motorists and the severity of the speed. According to prosecutors he is now facing the highest possible penalty of 300 days of fines at £2,166 a day – a total of £650,000.

Hunt was unlucky - Test positive out of season and he gets a strike - In this case he gets a $2500 match and suspended for 6 matches.

Agree, thank God we've been waging a war on drugs.
First it was Marijiboogie & LSD in the 60's, then Heroin of the 70's, cocaine in the 80's, Eccy's & other similar based drugs in the 90's & this century it's Ice.
Yep it's worked well.

I'm a big fan of this system of fining. Much fairer across the board. But for some reason those with really high incomes seem to see it a different way
I think Qld law provides for sentences of up to 20 years' jail for supplying cocaine. If Hunt was given even a brief stint inside, cocaine use would be seen in a different light. Likewise if rape was punishable via a fine, we'd probably regard it as over-inflated BS, too.

Well, they won't be worried too much.....afterall, campaigner got off.
..so it will be ho hum, and on with whatever else they are doing. Just another day.
Pretty pathetic really......so much for our justice system.
edit: Interesting, I posted the name and it automatically changed to campaigner. Why?? He was fined etc, was in all the papers and is back playing. Nothing secret about him.

No offense, but if you honestly think the possession of cocaine is an offense worth any more of a penalty than a simple fine, then you're completely oblivious. Why treat a health issue as a criminal offense? I don't take cocaine, and I never have, but it's not worth kicking up a stink over. It's not like it's meth or ice.
Google michael hunt and porkys,you will understand why the change of name

You're right though the whole system is pathetic knowing that my tax dolllars are going towards police investigations and court cases because a bloke ordered some some charlie for him and his mates...

No wonder Indonesia is completely backwards and third world
I don't call trying to do something about the escalating drug problem as being backward.

Treating a health issue as a criminal issue isn't going to do anything. Imposing archaic laws on drug users and smugglers has done nothing, and while people treat alcohol abuse as a health problem, yet drug use as a criminal problem, the situation is not going to change.

Shooting people and locking people in a cell for life for a few pills or grams of coke is completely backwards.

Consuming something that adversely affects your health is a health issue. Furthermore, he wasn't charged as dealing drugs, was he? Wasn't charged, or convicted of doing so, so don't be ridiculous.
