The initiative to honour our state’s emergency services at NRL games must be applauded. Nick Politis from the Easts Club is hosting the inaugural event on Father’s Day at Allianz Stadium when the Sydney Roosters clash with Canberra Raiders. The arrival of the PolAir police helicopter with special guest Amy Scott might dry off the field if a few rainy days precede the big day. Honouring true heroism in an age of digital unreality and artificial intelligence is a most worthy objective. Well done Nick and his Easts team and of course a special thanks to Amy for reminding us of what great policing truly is. Alan Sexton, North Parramatta 21Aug2024
