They need to amend the rules to add this one in: 

"Any match official has to make himself accountable for any decision/s incurred whether they be correct or incorrect and therefore the match official has to be able to justify said decision/s whether it be via media of any form and within internal Referee Association match assessments and should the decision/s prove to be incorrect, the match official/s are held accountable and punishable accordingly for bringing the game into disrepute and giving unfair treatment towards one or both teams receiving said decision/s."

IE: You make the call and if it is wrong be held accountable for it. Including VAR. I would start at a 3 match ban for the first offence, leading up to a season long ban for multiple screw ups with the one game or a series of games. Let's be honest about this, having these preseason meetings with referees to cover any rule changes and various workshops has not improved the standard of refereeing since day one of the very first A League game. So time to make officials as accountable as players, coaches and anyone else. They need to stop being above the law so to speak and they need to take ownership of their situation.
