Indigenous Australian Athlete Gets Fined for Criticising the Queen

An Indigenous women’s rugby league player in Australia has been fined and hit with a one-match ban for criticising Queen Elizabeth II.

Caitlin Moran, a 25-year-old who plays for Newcastle in Australia’s National Rugby League Women’s premiership, joined censored critics of the monarchy from around the world this week after she labelled Queen Elizabeth II a “dumb dog” in a since-deleted Instagram post.
