It's not so much the connection but her failure to disclose it that bit her on the moom.  It's all well and good to maintain the rage, but you have to be clever about how you do it and always follow process.

Lydia Thorpe lol.

Reckon if she had disclosed that she might not even have been nominated....

Pat Cummins has decided that Alinta energy are not green enough for him and seems to have convinced Cricket Australia to dump the Chinese Hong Kong based owned company as a sponsor.
Be interested to see how political and green he gets with his IPL team and all those rupees, of course the IPL is sponsored by those well known providers of crap cars and pollution in Tata Motors who have a large factory in Kolkata where he plays cricket for the Knightriders.
I believe the Dockers are being pressured to dump their lucrative Woodside sponsorship by ex players like Dale Kickett and others. Of course Woodside have had a bumper year and are overflowing in cash and Freo are looking at a nice rise in sponsorship money so a tad awkward for them.
Interesting times in the new Green world of Sport..

Gina Rinehart has pulled the sponsorship of the netball after the backlash.

Yep 15 million is a lot of money to lose based initially on  comments from a old ignorant zillionaire from the past.
I would have worked with Hancock to change the image of the company, sponsor indigenous netballers/teams and
provide employment/study pathways etc.
No one is a winner now.....

In the end all Wallam’s deliberations and soul-searching were in vain as Hancock Prospecting withdrew its funding a day after the goal shooter made it clear she would wear the logo.

@Gointocarlton Is Wallam yet another Lydia Thorpe / Greens road kill?

They are insidious politicians, whispering in ears, rally the crowds, lighting torches and loading missiles, then opening the gates before quickly disappearing into the background mist! There are more carcasses left in their wake than a WA Road Train!

When I see Thorpe in the media now, I immediately hear a modified rendition of the Barmy Army's Waugh / Warnie Bookie song!

Thorpe is a poli
She wears a two faced hat
And when she saw the public's tax
She said "I'm having that!"
She shared it out with Bandty
They went and had some beers
But when the cops saw Marty boy
She stuffed her long career!

I dont know the netball player from a bar of soap but I'll lay London to a Brick she is nothing like that parasite Thorpe. Misguided maybe, but not the piece of work Thorpe is.

The lines on the netball court use titanium oxide/dioxide coming out of Rinehart's mines, some of the pigments in the uniforms, make-up and hair dyes also are by-products of wider mining operations.

The stadium they play in is quite possibly held up by materials, steel or masonry components coming out of Rinehart mines. Many of them drove to the venue in vehicles made using alloys and elements out of Rinehart mines, including the rare earths used to power the electric vehicles.

The playing surface is polished using aluminium, zirconium or silcate oxides and carbides some of which come out of Rinehart mines.

Some of them eat food cooked on gas from Rienhart drilling rigs, others may claim they cook on induction from Solar PV, probably Solar PV partially made with Rinehart Rare Earths,

The list goes on and on and on!

The hypocrisy is palpable!

The kid Wallam is just a social media puppet, egged on by people who have a political barrow to push, and in the process she has inadvertently screwed over all her mates!

Just like footballers, pro-netballers do not have to be brain surgeons, the first lesson they should all be taught is to keep their mouth shut in public forums!
