And what of the viewing public perception. There was poor Crompton on live TV trying to find penalties that aren't in the book. You could hear his great frustration clearly as he made several attempts.
And as I said above if it is all so clear why was it changed from 30 seconds to 60 seconds overnight?

No one said it was a secret, its just not in the operations manual.
it was changed because the stewards found that the penalty was not significant enough, Not the first time this has happened, wont be the last, Stewards are always able to look at penalties post race
This happens all through the legal structure of Australia
