Whatever else may come out of this, it shows IMO that Rinehart is an evil, vindictive cow. That $15M is chump change for her, and her bottom line would not be affected in the slightest by logo less jerseys. Just a bastard act.

Rinehart pulled the sponsorship, isn't that what they wanted?

Same disgraceful human wanted to sack all her workers, import migrant labour and pay them $2 an hour.
Probably happy to save the sponsorship money...

I'm sure she thinks the $2 per hour is fantastically generous on her part.

No.  One player didn't want to wear the Hancock logo but there was never a desire to ditch the sponsorship.  What was a show of solidarity with an Indigenous teammate was seized upon as an anti-mining, pro-environment protest, but that was never the intention.

For the record, the company said they were happy to provide the money and never asked for a thankyou, never demanded the logo had to be worn. Its what happened since that pissed them off. They have made a statement as such. NA are a rablle, its unacceptable to treat sponsors (which are hard enough to get) like that.
As for comments her idiot father may have made, I dont think for a minute Hancock Co. or Gina R support or condone such views today. Lets move on. Or, do we we wipe her from the face of the Earth for those comments?

It would seem to be a simple matter for Rinehart to issue a comment rejecting her father's beliefs but she has steadfastly refused despite countless opportunities to do so.  The Diamonds fiasco gave her yet another opportunity. 

Netball Australia is a rabble.  An issue that should have been settled behind closed doors was allowed to spin out of control; no-one is a winner and netball is a loser.

Firstly, we don't know what her opinion is. There's little in the public domain that suggests she is different from her old man.

Secondly, I see no reason why we need to invoke extreme rhetoric to make a point.

I assume when you say "we" you mean every and not just me? It seems to me the whole debate centers around extreme rhetoric.

Good advice for NA would be to not crap where you eat!
