- Warner tried to switch seats with a female passenger at a random testing site in Maroubra, Sydney, and recorded more than twice the legal limit.

The media onslaught thereafter has been quite profound.— Awais Ahmad, Warner's barrister, at Waverley Local Court, commenting on media coverage after Warner's drink-driving conviction
