Ryan Dufty @rpdufty.bsky.social · 12/07/2026FFS. The Consti must be amended per Rule 30(a)(ii) for PVL to be Director of #ARL / Officer of #NRL. Rule 53 is a hoax. Bevan Shields at SMH rightly points to Rule 32(b)(iv). High Court in ASIC v King [2020] HCA 4 clarified broad scope of “officer” per Sec 8 of Corps Act. 000

Ryan Dufty @rpdufty.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I enjoyed the #ChallengeCup final, but was suspicious of the announced attendance.
