Shedding further light on events Down Under, on an claim of inappropriate behaviour against Alan Thompson, head coach, and entirely separate matters involving allegations of sexual abuse against late Olympic coach Terry Buck, are articles by Michael Cowley at the Sydney Morning Herald and Nicole Jeffery at The Australian

Cowley has Jim Piper wondering how Swimming Australia could have got its timing so badly wrong, while Jeffery finds Swimming Queensland boss Kevin Hasemann taking the view that Thompson, through the muddling of unrelated news and lack of proper information, has been "unfairly tarnished". Beyond those latest developments, Jeffery has a piece on Buck's widow, who denies that her husband did any of the things alleged by former Australian swimmer Greg Rogers, among others.
