Australian court reduces Western Bulldogs' payout to abuse survivor from $5.9M to $2.6M on appeal.

The largest payout to an abuse survivor in Australia, initially $5.9 million against the Western Bulldogs Football Club, has been reduced to $2.6 million on appeal. Adam Kneale, abused by volunteer Graeme Hobbs, views the revised payout as a win as the Court of Appeal rejected the club's further claims. The Bulldogs were found negligent and ordered to pay 70% of their appeal costs.
