police minister gets broken ribs playing rugby? maybe he should stick to actually fixing the crime problem instead. just a thought.

Sky Murphy2026-06-29T01:52:54.000Z

nah, this is just a funny story. lighten up. it's not that deep.

awful news, wishing him a speedy recovery. people forget these are humans too.
