«Breaking Pic News» AFL boss made visa enquiry for polo player

AFL boss Gillon McLachlan has revealed he checked a visa application for an Argentine polo player who was a "friend of a friend" when Prime Minister Scott Morrison was immigration minister.

Mr McLachlan is giving evidence to a Senate committee over lobbying Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton to save a French au pair who worked for his cousin from deportation in 2015.

On Wednesday, Mr McLachlan told the inquiry he asked the AFL's head of government relations Jude Donnelly - a former Liberal staffer - to check on a business visa application for the polo player in 2014.

Ms Donnelly said she asked a former colleague in then prime minister Tony Abbott's office about the status of the application and was told it had already been approved and was being processed.

"I was contacted by someone who was waiting on a business visa, a friend of a friend, who was wanting to come into the country who had language issues," Mr McLachlan told the inquiry.

In a separate case, Frenchwoman Alexandra Deuwel was detained at Adelaide airport in October 2015 after admitting she intended to work in breach of her tourist visa for grazier Callum MacLachlan, the AFL boss' second cousin.

Callum MacLachlan contacted his relative, who directed Ms Donnelly to forward an email from him to the minister's chief-of-staff.

Mr Dutton then overturned departmental advice, allowing Ms Deuwel to stay in the country on a tourist visa.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
