I'm no fan of Rinehart however I agree with her decision here. The precious, woke netball girls have learned a harsh but necessary lesson. Pity it will affect everyone, not just the whinging virtue signallers, but they can now explain to all the other players why they they will most likely have to stop being full time professionals and have to seek other jobs.

This is 2022 and Gina - who I have no time for - said nothing of the sort. Let them lie in their own beds then. SOTH again.................. You reckon there's no booga-looga in there? WGAF in this day and age? Nose, build..... this was Western Australia, you know....

The nose knows... got it? There's tar in there.... best you ask Lang... and she has an Indigenous half-sister .... I don't think she's much against them.....

As the world turns.... and the stomach...

How is it that little old me finds himself, because of the antics of trannies, supporting feminists .... now, given the antics of the Indigenous, I'm defending people they hate (without reason might I add)..

What is going on with this world?

I guess I'll just have to admit it - I'm a fair-minded person who hates nobody, but expects fair play...

Why so much hate for Gina? Undecided

In Italian - fuctifino..... it's all some vapid idea from some Koori chick on the team on a lot of lazy cash etc about something Lang said near forty years ago.

FFS...... another activist storm in a teacup .....

I guess Gina knows how to deal with that kind.... sh1t on the hand that feeds you, don't get fed.....

Maybe she could have sat down with Gina and discussed any current issues, got to know her, maybe lobby her company to hire more abbos? I guess these days tantrums are in, dialogue is out.

Gordy's not even pretending anymore. Sky "News". Lol.

For a far more reasoned and informative article, you may read here:

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/netball/sisters-in-arms-against-their-employer-why-...

I mean seriously, the astounding difference between the quality of the journalism.

But Sky "news" dot points were enough to set off the usual suspects. And Gordy got to feel validated for a bit.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.

Could have been a win all round. Not to mention a fabulous opportunity for positive PR and bridge building.
