What happened, for context

Former Australia cricket batter David Warner was convicted and fined A$1,500 by Waverley Local Court in Sydney on Tuesday, 18 August 2026, after pleading guilty to mid-range drink-driving. He recorded a blood-alcohol reading of 0.104 while driving his family home from a social function on Easter Sunday and attempted to switch seats with a female passenger when he saw a roadside breath-testing site. The court ordered an interlock device fitted to his vehicle for 12 months.
