Wayne Carey reveals his embarrassing new nickname in the wake of viral 'toilet tryst' video
North Melbourne great Wayne Carey has revealed that he has been given a new nickname following his viral 'toilet tryst' saga. On Wednesday evening, the 54-year-old was speaking at Hotel 520 in Tarneit, where he made light of a video that appeared to show him following a woman out of a bathroom. A seething Carey appeared on Sam Newman's You Cannot Be Serious podcast last week to admit he was seething at the two individuals who had filmed him leaving the bathroom at the Toorak Cellars bar in Amadale last week. He has since stated that he will be seeking legal advice on the matter and that the police had been notified. However, Carey cut a more jovial figure when pressed on the matter when speaking in front of an audience with footy broadcaster Brian Taylor. When Taylor asked Carey what he'd been upto this week, the former Kangaroos premiership winner said: 'Bugger all BT... another quiet week.' He then cracked a light-hearted joke while revealing what people have dubbed him online. 'If I go to the toilet tonight, please no one follow,' he said. 'I've got a new nickname: Toilet Duck.' Carey, is affectionately called Duck by his friends, including Newman. Meanwhile, the nickname 'Toilet Duck' appears to have originated from a footy fan forum on Reddit. It is a play on the name of the US toilet cleaning brand, Toilet Duck. The brand's bleach bottles typically come with a neck that is shaped like that of a duck's. In the viral video clip, a woman, who has now been identified as Kate Aston, a marketing and communications executive from Melbourne, is seen leaving the bathroom at the Toorak Cellars about 20 seconds before Carey is seen leaving the toilets while taking a phone call. A voice behind the camera can be heard saying: 'She looks embarrassed.' Another adds: 'What's he doing in there?' Carey though fired up at the two individuals who took the video. He branded their clandestine act 's*** shaming' and 'cyberbullying'. 'You talk about vile and disgusting, what they've done and who they have affected by a few sh**s and giggles drinking their chardonnay, sitting up there, doing whatever,' Carey said. 'I'm not going to name them because that would be as pathetic as what they are. I'll let the law take care of it.' Both he and Ms Aston have denied that there was any 'tryst' in the toilets. On Wednesday, Ben Fordham also issued a wild theory over the matter. He claimed that Cleary had gone into the bathroom to help her, speculating that she may have been chocking. 'He could have been down there in the latrines and he could have heard someone in a state of distress... she might have been choking on a prawn or an oyster or some piece of food,' Fordham told ex-Geelong player Sam Newman on his podcast You Cannot Be Serious. 'The Duck [Carey] might have rushed in there and given her the Heimlich manoeuvre. 'And he might have been pumping and thrusting to remove the prawn or the obstruction or whatever it might have been. He might have saved a life. 'That's the way I view the Duck. I view him as the good guy, not the bad guy.' Prior to that, Carey, also told Newman that he had: 'Gone through disbelief, sadness, I've gone through anger. 'This woman has been thrown into this just because I could kick a footy.' Newman had also pressed the former North Melbourne and Adelaide star prior to recording the podcast whether anything had gone on in the toilets. 'I said: 'I'd like to ask you, did you know the girl before you went down to the latrines, and were you in the same, not the same cubicle, were you in the same enclosure and speak to her there?' Newman said. 'He said: 'No.' I said: 'Good, well, that's good'. 'She was there, she walked out. He said: 'When I walked out, I was on the phone, I was on the phone to my partner, Jess'. 'And I said: 'Good.' It looked as though. He said there was absolutely nothing in it. The girl has said there was nothing in it, so he's taking umbrage at being accused of being a home breaker.' Fordham delivered his response to Newman's revelation, issuing his empathy to Carey over the matter before adding it was a 'gross invasion of someone's privacy'. 'If that's the case, I can understand why he's filthy, but I just couldn't, I was waiting for you to ask him the question on the podcast, and I don't know whether you just didn't want to become roadkill because he was on a bit of a mission at the time... but that's what I wanted to know. 'Only because he spoke about it for so long and he was going into so much detail. I just couldn't help but wonder, did you happen to step into the same cubicle or not? Obviously, he didn't. Two people can walk out of the [toilet] in the same direction a few minutes apart, having spent no time together at that location. Fordham added: 'It's a gross invasion of someone's privacy and it affects a lot of people.' Carey made 2244 appearances for North Melbourne between 1989 and 2001 before moving to play for the Adelaide Crows in 2003. He added that he would be following through on the matter 'to the tenth degree'. 'We are speaking and we will follow this through to the tenth degree. I'm blown away that women in their 40s could think this was a good idea. How would they explain this to their children?' he explained. 'This is women being cruel to another woman. They have shamed another woman and it is so wrong. It happens far too often and it doesn't get called out. Men do it and it gets called out as it should. Let's see where this goes to from here.'

Additional 800 children to be tested for STIs as police investigate accused Melbourne childcare paedophile Joshua Dale Brown
More than 800 additional children are being recommended for testing for sexually transmitted infections after four more childcare centres were added to a list of known workplaces of alleged paedophile Joshua Dale Brown. Additional dates have been added for 10 other childcare centres, with police citing incomplete records from the providers for the discrepancies. Earlier this month police revealed the 26-year-old childcare worker had been charged with more than 70 offences relating to eight alleged victims, aged between five months and two years old. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email Along with the health department, they released a list of 20 childcare centres where Brown worked between January 2017 and May 2025 and his known employment dates. Approximately 2,600 families with children who attended the centres were contacted, with 1,200 advised to undergo screening for sexually transmitted infections. Detectives from the sexual crimes squad on Tuesday confirmed four more centres had been added to Brown's work history. They are: Kids Academy Waratah Estate in Mickleham on 29 August 2024 Milestones Early Learning Tarneit on 10 September 2024 and 13 September 2024 Milestones Early Learning Braybrook on 4 December 2024 and 6 December 2024 Milestones Early Learning Greensborough on 5 December 2024, 31 January 2025 and 27 February 2025 Ten of the 20 centres already identified have also been updated based on new information provided to police, while Papilio Early Learning in Hoppers Crossing has been removed from the list after further investigation determined the information was incorrect. Police now believe Brown worked at 23 childcare centres between January 2017 and May 2025. In their statement, police said establishing Brown's complete work history had been 'extremely complex' as childcare providers do not have centralised records. It meant detectives had to 'execute search warrants to obtain handwritten records, shift rosters and other critical information.' Police also had to interview witnesses to verify details and provide an accurate account of Brown's employment history, as well as asses more than 270 Crimestoppers reports. 'We are working through a large amount of information that has been provided to us,' Acting Cmdr Janet Stevenson said. 'Each piece of information has to be individually assessed and verified before it can be used as part of the investigation or released to the public. 'I understand there are people who will be frustrated and I want to reinforce that this is a continually evolving and changing situation. What hasn't changed is that this investigation remains the highest priority for Victoria police.' Sign up to Breaking News Australia Get the most important news as it breaks after newsletter promotion The health department said it was contacting 830 additional families as a result of the new information, with 800 children recommended for testing. 'This is obviously a highly distressing situation, and I want to reassure all families being contacted that the potential exposure risk to an infectious disease for their child remains low,' the Victorian chief health officer, Dr Christian McGrath, said. 'Our recommendation for testing is a precaution and the test results we've received to date as part of this investigation reaffirms that the risk is low.' Families will be contacted initially via SMS and then with a phone call. The department urged families to check the updated list of childcare centres and employment dates before calling its advice line. In a statement, Affinity Education Group, which operates many of the listed centres, apologised to affected families. 'We are deeply sorry for the distress this is causing our families – no family should have to go through this. We are committed to supporting every family impacted whilst continuing to cooperate fully with the authorities as the investigation continues,' a spokesperson said. 'We share the urgency in ensuring that affected families receive accurate and timely information. Affinity has a zero-tolerance approach to any form of abuse or misconduct involving children. The safety and wellbeing of every child in our care is – and always will be – our highest priority.' The group provided police with updated employment records for Brown on 3 July.

Western United served breach notices for not paying A-League players
Embattled A-Leagues club Western United has been served with breach notices by both its men's and women's players over unpaid wages and superannuation. Western's A-League Men players have to attempt to overturn a 3-0 deficit in Saturday's semifinal second leg against Melbourne City after not receiving their most recent pay. The soccer players' union, Professional Footballers Australia (PFA), has lashed United's "unacceptable" conduct and on Tuesday issued breach notices. United must complete payments within two weeks, by Tuesday, June 3, or players can take further action, including termination of contract. "The ongoing failure of Western United to meet its contractual obligations to players, including unpaid wages and superannuation, is unacceptable," chief executive Beau Busch said in a statement. "The professionalism and commitment of the players and staff in extremely difficult circumstances has been remarkable. "We are actively engaging with both the club and the APL to ensure the matter is resolved swiftly and the players will continue to be supported with the full resources of the PFA." It is just the latest blow to the expansion club, which is currently subject to a men's player registration ban from FIFA, understood to relate to a dispute with former striker Aleksandar Prijovic. United cannot register new players until January 2027 unless that dispute is resolved. The Tarneit-based club had fallen behind on payments in a previous pay cycle but were able to complete them. It is understood the PFA had been optimistic United's pay situation would be resolved with the announcement earlier this month that incoming new investors will take a controlling stake in parent company Western Melbourne Group. Instead, unpaid men's and women's players attended the club's end-of-season awards night on Tuesday, the same day their union lodged the breach notices on their behalf. "The club has been in constant communication with the players and is working closely with the PFA and the APL to address these matters urgently," United said in a statement. "Everyone at the club is fully focused on our semifinal second leg against Melbourne City on Saturday and we look forward to seeing our supporters and Australian football fans in attendance for a fantastic occasion." The sale to KAM Melbourne, a subsidiary of American group KAM Sports, is subject to regulatory checks from the APL and Football Australia. The PFA is also conducting its own due diligence checks on KAM Melbourne. AAP has contacted the APL for comment. AAP

While investigations into the crash are ongoing, Sergeant MacFarlane said this type of behaviour by youths was unacceptable. "This was entirely preventable and now they're all in hospital fighting for their lives."
