Sport shouldn’t be used to push a message, says billionaire who uses sport to push a message

A woman who uses the uniforms of rowers, volleyballers and swimmers to promote her mining company says sport should not be used to as some sort of personal promotional messaging tool.

Standing at a sporting venue in front of a large sign that displays the name of her company, the billionaire said sport and self-promotion do not mix.

“The idea that you’d think it appropriate to use sport as a way to push your agenda is really disappointing. All this tedious virtue signalling is nothing more than an attempt to influence the public’s perception of you.

“How about we keep our opinions to ourselves and get back to what sport is all about – softening the image of iron-ore mining companies”.

Well it is certainly going to be interesting to see how the various sports manage, when they have to rely on their supporter base to find the administration costs, players wages and facilities overheads.
Good on them for standing up for a principle, maybe sports people should make a stand against the obscene profits banks make and stop paying their mortgages? Refuse sponsorship from any company that isn't seen as morally acceptable to all sectors of the population.
Where do principals start and finish, which principals are worthy and which aren't?

'It's a disgrace': Eugowra resident confronts Dominic Perrottet over flood response

Frustrations bubble over in the Central West, where a local man has demanded more support for flood-stricken communities from the NSW premier, as prepare-to-evacuate orders are issued for towns downstream of Forbes.

A Eugowra man has demanded more support for flood-stricken Central-West communities from the NSW premier, as additional funding is announced for farmers.

While visiting the flood-ravaged town of Eugowra, the NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet was confronted by local Peter Jones.

"People were just left to their own devices, we had no food, no clothing, no-one telling them what will happen next — no-one was here to help us," he told the Premier.
 
I wonder how much this cost us. :roflmao:
If no one knew of his appointment, how would he have been forwarded any information by the department.?
Sounds like a lot more paper for the round filing cabinet under the desk.?
Couldn't we have saved a lot of money, by someone saying "hey if you are going to be vice captain in a portfolio, you have to tell everyone".?

The last government took a very dim view of Juice Medias "Honest Government ads" . They thought people might actually think they were Government ads.

So they passed some laws to criminalize such behaviour.

Naturally Juice media had field day with that decision

Remember when we only visited Centrelink to update our details, then we went online and had the welfare card, now they feed us and it saves us a fortune on the cooking costs.
Also there is the safety side, most accidents happen in the kitchen and we also don't need a car to do our shopping, which helps us avoid road accident trauma and has the added benefit of more internet gamming time.
Just better Government, looking after the little guy. ?

The Government is committed to reducing household power costs.
For a small upfront cost and a reasonably cheap monthly charge, consumers will be able to take control over their power bills.
This could, if used correctly, reduce consumers power bills by up to $265 per year. ?
