    Morrison headed to Australia!
    By Ray Wheatley -- World of Boxing
    Victorian Promoter Peter Maniatis informed Fightnews that he will be bringing former WBO Heavyweight champion Tommy “The Duke” Morrison to Australia for a Black Tie Dinner Night at the Powerhouse in Albert Park on Friday April 17. The Dinner will raise funds for the Tommy Morrison HIV-AIDS KO Drugs Foundation. Maniatis says Morrison and his partner Lisa Wood will arrive on April 1st and will attend the Bob Rose Cup on April 3 at the Malvern Town Hall.

    I believe people with Hiv/Aids Should be excluded from entry into australia on a permanent or holiday basis- This land we live in is lucky to have a low HIV positive rate however is on the rise every year.
    When considering some areas of africa have a 1 in 3 rate of people with aids there needs to be heavy restrictions placed on these reigons

    Sounds slack but I agree...but we should pump some more cash into finding a cure and better preventative measures for the poor *******s.

    After watching Border Patrol you get a better appreciation for how important it is to keep stuff out of Oz.

    Rabies has apparently hit Bali...Australia is one of the few countries in the world without it, it would be nice to keep it that way.

    Talk about being discriminative... It'd never get off the ground anyway.

    Mate discrimination has nothing to do with it just as the virus does not discriminate.
    I'm sure that there have been hundreds of cases of what Ozziebattler has stated happen in Australia and every victim of HIV is someones Daughter/Son/Brother/Mother.
    Whatarock is right, more research should be done in order to prevent and cure this disease, However i fear that there is more money for the pharmacutical companies to produce drugs which keep HIV patients alive and relatively well rather then attempting to fix the problem.

    Of course it will never get off the ground, this country is too politically correct.

    You're aware of course that people who knowingly spread a disease are guilty of a serious crime? If Battler's story is spot on, which it well could be, the bloke would be behind bars. I'm not saying he's not already...

    Ok, what happens to the likes of Pecks who's rooting Japanese whores like they're going out of fashion (and good luck to him!). Does he come back in if he picks something up?

    What about the thousands of people who have HIV but don't know it? How do you police it? If it's as simple as ticking a box at customs for those that knowingly have it, how many people who know there's a good chance of dying in a year or whatever, will admit to having it?

    Unless of course we make them wear a blue and white uniform with a star of David on it :)

    My man Morrison would ass **** and fist **** Leapai all within a few rounds..No Aussie heavyweight could handle his Lefthook..Plain and simple..

    So Tommy Morrison aint going to visit sydney??I really wanted to take him out to some of our finer establishments...Penrith Panthers to start things off with a few loose moral local muffin. followed by Possibly Scruffy Muphys for a few foreign whores..

    Both venues would also give Morrison the punching practice he would need..He could lefthook his way through the dancefloor.
