AFLPA blasts AFL over ‘disproportionate’ move to stand down Geelong midfielder Tanner Bruhn

The AFL Players Association have taken aim at the AFL over the league’s “premature and disproportionate” decision to stand down Geelong midfielder Tanner Bruhn for the duration of his rape case. Bruhn had sexual assault charges against him dropped on Tuesday after a key witness admitted to lying. The 23-year-old will now return to pre-season training and attempt to resurrect his career after missing the entire 2025 season. Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today Bruhn had been stood down by the AFL since he was officially charged by police in February. But that fact was not known, given there was a suppression in order in place that prevented naming Bruhn. The rape and intentional sexual touching charges, regarding an incident in February 2023, were formally withdrawn at Geelong Magistrates Court on Tuesday. Both Bruhn and his co-accused have always maintained their innocence. The suppression order, which was lifted today, prevented the AFL, Geelong and AFLPA making comment throughout the case. Geelong said Bruhn was unavailable earlier in the season with a finger injury before being removed from the injury list altogether. “The AFL confirms that, following notification in early 2025 of several criminal charges being brought against Geelong Football Club player, Tanner Bruhn, that Mr Bruhn was stood down by the AFL from playing pending the hearing and determination of those charges,” the AFL said in a statement on Tuesday. “Mr Bruhn was stood down from playing at any level of Australian Football (including AFL and VFL), which remained in place until the charges were withdrawn, which formally occurred in Court today. “Suppression orders preventing publication of any details in relation to this matter have previously prevented the AFL or any party making public comment.” Unlike the NRL or Football Australia, the AFL does not have an official no-fault stand-down policy, where players charged with serious criminal offences are banned from playing. NRL player Jack de Belin and A-League Men defender Ruon Tongyik are among those to have been stood down, then later returned to their respective careers. De Belin had sexual assault charges dropped in 2021 while in March this year Tongyik was acquitted of rape. Richmond star Noah Balta was given a four-match club-imposed ban after pleading guilty to assault, but played a game before his trial in April. The AFLPA, the players’ union, lamented the “long and flawed process” and demanded a change to the framework. “Tanner was entitled to the presumption of innocence from the outset and throughout. It was clear to us that standing Tanner down would be premature and disproportionate,” the AFLPA said in a statement. “The Collective Bargaining Agreement requires the AFL and AFLPA to resolve a Code of Conduct including proper processes and a sanctioning framework. “This unfortunate set of circumstances is further evidence that such a framework is critical for the game. We remain committed to this work in the best interests of the players and Australian football.” Geelong confirmed Bruhn will be able to return for pre-season with the Cats. The 23-year-old will attempt to build on the 36 games he played for Geelong across 2023 and 2024, after a previous 30 for GWS in 2021-22. “Geelong Football Club acknowledges the finalisation of legal proceedings in the Geelong Magistrates’ Court today, where all charges in relation to Tanner Bruhn have been withdrawn,” Geelong said in a statement. “... While legal proceedings have been ongoing, the club has provided professional welfare to Tanner during this time and will continue to do so. “Tanner will return to the football program for the start of pre-season training.”

TOURISE e Oxford Economics pubblicano un white paper (libro bianco) che traccia il percorso del turismo verso la resilienza e la stabilità nel clima di volatilità globale - Business Wire

TOURISE, in collaborazione con Oxford Economics, ha pubblicato un nuovo white paper intitolato “Growth Amid Uncertainty: Opportunities and Risks on the Road to 2 Billion Global Travellers ” (La crescita tra l'incertezza: opportunità e rischi con la prospettiva di 2 miliardi di viaggiatori globali) presentato nel corso del primo TOURISE Summit. La pubblicazione presenta importanti opportunità e rischi che il settore affronterà nei prossimi anni, oltre a una struttura per guidare i decisori politici, le leader delle mete turistiche e le parti interessate dell'industria nel rafforzare la capacità del settore turistico di sopportare le interruzioni globali e promuovere la sostenibilità e la resilienza a lungo termine. Questo comunicato stampa include contenuti multimediali. Visualizzare l’intero comunicato qui: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20251110740482/it/ Il white paper sottolinea l'imperativo della resilienza come principio fondamentale per lo sviluppo del turismo in un'epoca caratterizzata da cambiamenti geopolitici, sfide climatiche e sempre nuove aspettative dei viaggiatori. “Il turismo è sempre stato una forza per le connessioni e le opportunità, ma la sua vera forza sta nella sua capacità di evolversi e mantenere la resilienza. Questo libro bianco offre chiare istruzioni su come il settore del turismo globale può orientarsi nei prossimi anni, guidandoci verso un futuro di crescita sostenibile e prosperità condivisa”, ha dichiarato Sua Eccellenza Ahmed Al-Khateeb, Ministro del Turismo e Presidente di TOURISE. “Dimostra come la pianificazione basata sui dati e la politica orientata al futuro possa aiutare le destinazioni a gestire la crescita responsabilmente, affrontare gli imprevisti e continuare a creare posti di lavoro e opportunità. Mentre ci avviciniamo ai due miliardi di viaggiatori previsti nel 2030, la nostra attenzione deve essere sulla creazione di un ecosistema di turismo resiliente, inclusivo e pronto ad affrontare le sfide e le possibilità di un mondo in rapida evoluzione”. Attingendo a grandi volumi di dati e modellazione finanziaria, il rapporto identifica le tendenze più importanti del futuro dei viaggi e del turismo. Evidenzia l'importanza sempre maggiore dei processi decisionali basati su prove concrete e delle strutture per le politiche adattive per assicurare la competitività e l'inclusività delle destinazioni. “La resilienza nel turismo inizia con la chiarezza, che si basa sui dati concreti”, ha dichiarato Adam Sacks, Presidente di Tourism Economics, società del gruppo Oxford Economics. “Questo libro bianco offre una tabella di marcia basata sui dati per navigare l'incertezza, consentendo alle destinazione di prendere decisioni informate e investire con fiducia”. Tra i suoi risultati, il rapporto prevede un notevole aumento negli arrivi internazionali, che passano dagli attuali 1,5 miliardi a 2 miliardi entro il 2030, guidati in parte dalle nuove preferenze dei viaggiatori, con un marcato accento sul valore delle esperienze piuttosto che il costo. I turisti sono sempre più alla ricerca di esperienze immersive, culturalmente autentiche, che contribuiscono a soggiorni più lunghi e aumentano le spese di ogni viaggio. Per venire incontro a questa domanda, le destinazioni che includono proattivamente strategie come l'adozione di regimi di visto aperti, politiche incentrate sui viaggiatori e infrastrutture orientate al futuro hanno le migliori prospettive per catturare un aumento previsto del 40% nella domanda di turismo globale entro il 2030. Questa iniziativa congiunta riflette l'impegno continuo di TOURISE nel promuovere un settore del turismo che è resiliente, informato sui dati e pronto a venire incontro alle esigenze di un mondo in rapida evoluzione.

Dharmendra Played Double Role In This Film Starring An Ex-CM — The Leader’s Only Bollywood Film As LEAD

The “He-Man of Bollywood,” Dharmendra, ruled Hindi cinema through the 1960s and 1970s with his charm, intensity and commanding screen presence. Over the years, he delivered countless hits and became a household name. Among his many memorable performances, there was one film where he starred opposite a former Chief Minister. The film in question is Izzat, released in 1968. He took on a double role. In the film, Dharmendra shared screen space with Jayalalitha, who later became one of India’s most powerful political figures. She served as the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for over 14 years across multiple terms. She first assumed office in 1991 and held her final term until her passing in 2016. Her only film, Izzat, where she was paired with Dharmendra, stood out not just for its story but for the legendary actor’s layered portrayal of two very different sons bound by fate and blood. The film revolved around an arrogant Thakur, played by Balraj Sahni and the fallout of his actions. Dharmendra played both his sons, each with distinct pain and purpose. As the story unfolded, the versatile actor switched effortlessly between the fire of revenge and the vulnerability of love, showcasing the range that made him a legend. The film also featured Tanuja, whose performance added another layer of depth to the storyline while also balancing Dharmendra’s intense dual act. His chemistry with the leading lady, Jayalalithaa, was one of the film’s highlights. Around 19 years old at the time, she brought a rare blend of grace and innocence to her role. On November 10, 2025, Dharmendra was hospitalised with critical health concerns. The 89-year-old actor was reportedly placed on ventilator support in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for close observation. Amid growing speculation, Esha Deol took to X to reassure fans that the veteran actor is recovering well and requested everyone to continue praying for his health.
