In the last few weeks, we have watched on as Resources Minister Mad King struck the worst deal in living memory with the Evil Gas Cartel before flying off on an all-expense paid junket to WA gas platforms where she could not be questioned about said deal.
But, before we get too uptight about it, we must observe that we are all Mad King now.
Big Dirt is buying sponsorships of our major sports like they are a rich seam of coal seam gas for export to China.
There is this:
And this:
And this:
All three of these sponsors are energy providers and two are members of the Evil Gas Cartel.
Then there is another energy would-be coal monster:
Netball Australia has said it is an “absolute priority” to address and resolve any concerns raised by Diamonds player Donnell Wallam amid opposition to a new sponsorship partnership with Hancock Prospecting.
But the cash-strapped organisation will not turn its back on Gina Rinehart’s mining company, and on Tuesday reinforced its support for the multimillion-dollar deal announced last month.
The partnership has caused controversy, with Noongar woman Wallam having raised concerns over Hancock’s record on Indigenous issues. Former Diamonds captain Sharni Norder has also voiced concerns over the company’s environmental credentials.
Why do energy and mining companies feel the need to sponsor our favourite teams? Because none of them play for Australia and they do not want you to know it.
In fact, the Evil Gas Cartel is recycling some of its theft of your endowment of resources to wokewash themselves.
These firms should be banned like Big Tobacco before them.
They are a national health hazard.
