Overview

• The City of Stirling terminated Osborne Park Football Club’s community lease and barred access to its Robinson Reserve clubrooms following an August 'Silly Sunday' costume.
• The outfit depicted Stephen Hawking with a wheelchair and device, and the mayor alleges photocopied explicit images were attached, which city staff later discovered and reported.
• WA Police’s Sex Crime Division investigated after the discovery and stated that no criminality was detected.
• The Perth Football League issued a show-cause notice requiring the club to justify its place in the competition, with a decision expected in early November.
• Club president Jeremy LaBianca apologised, said leadership has changed and the player was banned, and argued the council’s response was disproportionate.
