🚨 If you are wondering why Govt & Coalition are resisting banning gambling advertising – maybe the 600% rise in political donations made to the major parties by gambling lobby groups over the last decade has something to do with it!

@CarltonFC I’m doing my best. Tough crowd here @swimvic HQ but I remain determined to get it played at one of our Championship Meets this season.
Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.
(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)
These ratings destroy the lack of interest justification for not having para races during prime time slots. People don’t turn off their TVs when our stories are told well. Sport loses when we are hidden away before live streams begin. The sports that get this before 2032 will win
On the back of new figures which show media coverage of women's sport sits at 15 per cent in Victoria, Amanda Shalala and I have co-authored this piece on why we must do better, and support for women in sports journalism has a long way to go. @abcsportabc.net.au/news/2024-03-08/i…

I was lucky enough to be in the room where this video was launched tonight, alongside so many proud Indigenous Australians. I wanna do what I can to amplify their voice, and give them a voice to Parliament. #HistoryIsCalling#VoteYes
Developing Young Leaders forum @swimvic. And the critical question off the bat from the fabulous Margot Foster. Hint: It’s really important for it to be choice.
🌈 Discrimination has no place in sports clubs. On #IDAHOBIT, let's stand together against all discrimination. Let's create inclusive spaces where everyone feels safe, accepted, and celebrated. Together, we can break barriers and promote equality in sports. 🏳️🌈
Now seems a good time for these reminders:
👉🏾2 things can be right.
👉🏾Everything isn’t binary.
👉🏾Saying it louder doesn’t make you appear right.
👉🏾Insulting someone because you disagree makes you look stupid.
👉🏾Research why you could be wrong before going in so hard!
Tomorrow is the @UN International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.
It comes amid a sickening rise of hateful ideologies in Australia in a year in which racism against First Nations is surfacing through discussions on the Voice to Parliament.
