Nobody has any comments on sponsorship in sports by so called non green industries?
Actually throw in Perth fringe festival as well.
The Swan District lads could show case all the positive aspects of their relationship to start with.
This is turning crazy.The way our economy is structured,we rely on fossil fuels.We will have Hydrogen powered cars before we turn electric.
Rhinehaet Prospecting offered Australian Netball a 15 million dollar contract .One player was offended and they declined the sponsorship.Funny there new sponsor is a Power Generator.
Freo are under pressure to drop Woodside Petroleum.Who invest Billion’s into the West Australia economy.They have stuck with Freo through the tough times.
Is there currently a Green business that is finincially profitable, without Government sponsorship.
This is the Woke brigade at work, the damage they are doing to individuals and organisations is getting out of hand. They immediately believe they have the moral high ground but to me they are just weak as piss wankers who see this as giving them power over others and they dont think it’s far that those who work hard and create wealth and jobs should have more than them.
They would like to close down mining and fossil fuels tomorrow if they could, wonder if they will enjoy living in caves and riding horses to get anywhere. They will likely complain if someone has a better cave than they do!!
All these cunts are a bunch of hypocrites. All the luxuries they enjoy and love in their daily life are not possible without fossil fuels. Go back and live in a cave you bunch of useless hypocrites.
We certainly would lose a war without a fossil feul industry
cave dwellers are called troglodytes.
probably a good enough name for the hypocrites.
please don’t apply to our hard working opal miners though.
Meanwhile we all walk around with IPhones & Nike shoes… slave labour anyone?
The two major parties should preference each other, an idea which should start wth Bandt’s seat in Victoria.
i for one am surprised and IMPRESSED that Carmen Lawrence..remembers and recalls who she barracks for !!
Those docker supporters who don’t want resource based sponsorships can tick that box on their next membership application and pay triple the price.

And guess who was jealous of Woodside’s long standing sponsorship of the Dockers and wanted them on board as a sponsor?
And the Eagles will be the next victims with players and members questioning Mineral Resources as a sponsor and why not question the sponsorship of Hungry Jacks while they are at it, I mean imagine all the methane emitted by those cows that produce the beef in those mighty delicious Whoppers?
I bet they still expect to get paid.
I think the sponsors should take a stand, tell them all the get fucked and pull their money out. See where that leaves these privileged flogs.
Hasn’t this Woodside business stired up a Hornets nest.
Japan’s Priminister is flying to Perth on Saturday.For a meeting with our Priminister,Albo..
Japan is to remind Australia about it’s contractual arrangements. To Supply Japan with gas with a 50 year contract in place.
Carmen Lawrence a well educated former Wa Premier.Should of thought of the implications of her media release yesterday.

I agree McBob. It’s not as though Woodside gets anything back for it in advertising or increased sales not being a retailer of gas. They’re just being good corporate citizens by sponsoring a local team the same as Gina, FMG, BHP and so on but if they’re to get criticised as a result, t.e.f.e.
The world has gone MAD!
Hopefully woodside dump the dockers and they go bust.
Utterly sick to death of all the political BS in sport now, Indigenous ear bashing, AWFL refusing minutes silence for Queen because of some BS, Gay Rights rounds, people being forced to celebrate other sexuality that’s got nothing to do with them..
Gas and resources industry being cancelled.
FMD Carmen Lawrence one of the worst premiers we ever had …
A bit of common sense from the media. Well said.
Thanks 58, interesting reading some of the comments, some think it’s the FFC thats challenging the sponsorship, it’s not, it’s a small group pf numpties who crave some of the spotlight by selectively singling out one company and ignoring all the other companies that sponsor sport. I trust that the Freo board will follow the lead of netball Australia and gratefully continue to accept the support thats offered to them.
One very good comment was regarding that whingy bitch Cummins who wants to cancel Alinta but is happy to accept millions from the IPL who are sponsored by a raft of companies in a country thats the 3rd worse polluter in the world … go figure.
Good on Freo for the decision to carry on the sponsorship. If there’s any over paid pampered sportspeople leading a woke whinge about this, hopefully they’ll be dragged into the coach’s office for heart to heart!!!
