Gardiner
Gardiner is a former league player whose recent experience at a pub in Australia highlighted the controversial policy against facial tattoos. He was denied entry due to his tā moko, which signifies his heritage and personal history, representing 21 generations of his lineage. The incident, which left him feeling emotionally affected, raised questions about cultural recognition and respect for Māori traditions. After returning to the venue later, he was allowed entry, but the lack of communication regarding the policy left him seeking further clarification.
