I still call Australia home

No, but common protest method worldwide these days...

Article headline reads:

Protesters deface priceless Australian painting in demonstration against Woodside​

But article says: The gallery says the painting was covered by perspex acrylic and was undamaged in the incident.

Well it is a NEWSCORP production.
sometimes I wonder who's worse. the protestors or the coverage.

WGAF? It's an own goal really. Who is going to suffer if those companies just pull their sponsorship dollars? It's not going to be the companies. Most aren't really in competitive markets where the advertising makes a difference, it's all feel-good PR rubbish.

Damaging artworks et al now that's another thing entirely. Time to up the penalties for wanton destruction of property and reinforce the old adage that no, the ends do NOT justify the means.

FKT

They have to try something new, because everything else has failed.

The mining companies do care, they don't give sponsorship for no return on the investment and tax dodge.

The part I like is that they annoy the fuck out of misogynistic racist old RWNJ's like you and your loony mates here. Funni as fuck.

Cummins raised objection to Cricket Australia’s Alinta deal

Cricket Australia has confirmed it will not renew a sponsorship deal with energy company Alinta, worth almost $40 million.

www.smh.com.au

Had completely forgotten about that...I would not have been paying much attention to the news cycle around that time due to some significant staff issues that were occurring at the time.

And the effect of that wokefulness moment by Cummins was that there are less $'s for grassroots clubs who will have less $'s to develop the next generation of Test level cricketers that will then mean we will be less competitive v India & England but maybe level the playing field v Sth Africa, Windies, Pakistan, NZ etc. By which time Cummins would've made his $millions from the game and couldn't care less.

This is Advance Australia's website.

Looks like it was written by and for, ill educated far right Nob heads.

It would be funny if it weren't so reactionary, it looks like a MAGA mob.

They are climate change deniers too.

What has the little flower being saying about me now? Clearly someone had torn the page with the definition of 'ignore' out of the St Kilda liberery's copy of the websters. Possibly some junky who had just had a dump in the non fiction section and wanted to wipe his arse. Who knows, any way say hi and tell her to get fucked from me.

I got banned for life from their facebook pages back during covid. And many others.

Good times!

She visited the Advance Australia website, posted some pics and a couple of comments then said that's where you get your talking points.

Edit: just saw your followup comment. Hey Meli he said he got banned from their Facebook page with some not too complimentary comments. Seems you missed the mark big time.

I can't see it but was it taken at a Yacht club?

Ahh that rapier wit again.

Why on earth do I continue to let her mercilessly flog me like this?

I got banned from a couple of facebook interest groups using an anon account.

Hard to believe how 'nicy-nice' the entire fake ecosystem is. They lie to each other and anyone who speeky da truff gets punted.

Yep. the entire internet should be un-moderated. I have served several sentences in facebook jail for reasons well below my usual charming standard. Mark Zuckerberg is a cock sucking fucktard. I bet he is reading that right now.

This just ain't right.

Boags Brewery are closing down their Brewery tours, Visitor Centre and, most importantly, the bar!!! What an outrage!!!

When I landed in Launceston 4 years ago for a MTB trip I made a bee-line for that place upon picking up the hire car.

Launceston's historic Boag's Brewery to shut its doors to tourists amid downturn in beer consumption

Brewery operators say the impact of COVID-19 and declining beer consumption is forcing them to close the visitors centre and stop tours at the end of the month.

@Fah Kiew Tu & @mezaire and any other Tassie SA'ers do something about this!!!

It was good, as was seeing the Cascade from that label.

He probably is and yes he is. If I could be fucked, I'd find stolen quotes from that site in his posts. Especially on their anti Voice "ops" But I can't be fucked looking.

Never liked Boags beer much, Cascade seems to have got fizzier. Furphy is pretty good.

There’s nothing worse than a …… winger from either side of politics.

Coming a close second, is making accusations about someone whilst hiding the posts from them.
