Former AFL footballer Xavier Ellis, one third of Perth's Triple M Breakfast, has fired back at the decision to cancel this year's AFL Grand Final parade in the city, due to the threat of a "terrorism event".
"I think it's ridiculous, citing terrorism, for God's sake,
"I don't know, I think it's a missed opportunity. I know they're playing it safe but to cite terrorism threats, just say 'we're not doing it anymore'. Just put a line through it."
