This comes after Hancock Prospecting scrapped its $15 million partnership with Netball Australia due to concerns over racist comments about Indigenous people made by Ms Rinehart’s father in the 1980s.
“Rinehart’s company is a respected player crucial to this country, especially to Western Australia, employing many Indigenous workers and enabling Indigenous communities to benefit from hundreds of millions of dollars of royalties,” Mr Kenny said.“Despite all this, just by having her company’s name associated with netball, it’s opened up to all sorts of ridiculous claims.”
Chris Kenny negates truth
All deniers should be called out.
Those Racist Bigots getting dragged though the mud again!!🙄
Weren’t they watching or couldn’t hear?
Sky News, it seems standing by your principles has no comparison next to the almighty dollar?
Lang dragged the name through the mud 40 years ago
Well Except for the whole climate change denial, and not distancing herself from racist comments of her family
Chip of the old block then... 🤔
Boo hoo. Poor Gina.
This is true, the selfishness and Hypocrisy of Netball Australia has done nothing but harm to others. Rinehart isn't her father and does business completely different. She can't be blamed or apologise for any other person or her father.
🥱
oh she'll survive without your patronising assistance
For a very good reason actually! She refuses to refute her Father's comments about sterilising 'worthless Aboriginals and half castes' so they disappear from the world. She has ripped so much wealth out of First Nation's lands, why not give more back to support their communities?
Gina's towering arrogance + hypocrisy is mind-boggling! She is a notorious climate denialist who doesn't hesitate to use her wealth and influence to sabotage climate action.. She's refused to distant herself from her father's racist views sending the message she agrees with him.
Until she states her position on racism she will always be tarred with her father’s brushes.
Showing your true colours kind of equates to dragging yourself though the mud. PS How much did you get from Hancock for this story Chris Kenny?
Murdoch employee defends much despised billionaire. No shock
Dragged through mud by who? She was right to withdraw her sponsorship. Haven't the Diamonds heard of don't bite the hand that feeds you
When Sportswashing backfires 😢
I support her all the way something I thought I wouldnt say. How dare you silly little girls who think they have a heading 'woke'. Think you are the first. Can any of you change the past You silly girls have ruined Netball for ALL Australians. You must be so proud Fools!!
Oh boo hoo
Kenny and Rinehart would know all about mud…They’re both covered in it!
The tall poppy syndrome is alive and doing well in Australia
That’s not true, Lang advocated the Genocide of the aboriginal people. This is the issue that should be tackled and Gina to face questions about.
Not really.
Her father advocated Genocide of the Australian Aboriginal, I think your reporting is very bias.
Fight for EQUALITY, fight against fake racist proporganda for greed and power
Why can't slave labor proponents, racists and big polluters killing our planet, sanitise their image via sports bribery - screams Kenny. Fixed it for ya. 😘
Gina at least pays taxes unlike many of the companies the Liberal Party are chummy with.
Out of the mud, not through it.
The woman who declared others workers around the world were paid $2 a day so should Australians. That woman?
No little Kenny, you're thinking of Netball Aust now.
she makes millions ripping the ground apart and pays fuck all in tax if anything. Her business practice drags Australian values and blatant decency through the mud.
No good reason? Seriously? If condoning calls for genocide is no good reason, what is?
She only had to denounce what her father said. She didn't. Good riddance. I am sure responsible sponsorship will follow.
What happens when you make a lot of mud .. you can get dragged through it Perhaps not make so much mud? A mega mud maker Chris Kenny who is for no good reason auspol Australia
Gina Rinehart has done more for aboriginal then all this Aboriginal political elite and useless swill in Canberra. And that is the fact.
No good reason…..
no good reason yeah rightio...
“No good reason”? Really? Her father called for genocide (comments from which she’s never distanced herself) and she wants slave labour. She and Kenny can get in the bin. They’re both awful people.
'No good reason' um I'm not even aboriginal and I wouldn't want ANY involvement with that evil witch or her blood money. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
Netball Australia must wear all this mud slinging. Gina is the innocent party.
and the racists come out to protect her don't they Chrissy
Poor billionaire. How will she cope?
say..Gina could have done philanthropy without the bootlicking arse sucking clause. Gina could have listened to the reason why instead of running to the racist media & politicians. Take All sponsorship off sports apparel children purchase too are forced billboards
Kenny the Murdoch goon has no idea about what Australians value. We hate billionaires who sook. MurdochMediaShitStains
Pfff…
Murdoch_RC Cant wait for NACC
Kevin Rudd was right We need a mining tax!
Not a big fan of Sky but give credit where credit is due. Diamonds cancelled the funding. Regardless of the sins of the father, or her own, this one is on the Diamonds. I just hope they are not using steel for their stadiums.
I dunno, she seems nice, two of her 3 kids are suing her, she wanted to import workers for Roy Hill mine and pay them $2.60 an hour.
fmllolnews Because the left have no morals or standards. Time Australia stood up
If my dad did something wrong 40yrs ago I'm not sure how that's my fault. Lang made a statement 40yrs ago. Gina has her faults but supporting netball and aboriginal issues aren't in those faults
Chris Kenny 😂! You could at least have interviewed a credible journalist… Oh that’s right you sacked them all & replaced them with Mr.Burns’s Monkeys
She’s not going to hand you a cheque dog boy.
but there are so many good reasons
Genocide is “no good reason” ? 🙄
Has she distanced herself from the disgraceful views of her Father? If so I haven’t seen it reported. The standard we walk past is the standard we accept
Her name has been 'dragged through the mud', what absolute nonsense!
Why won't she distance herself and the company from her father's support of genocide of Aboriginal Australians?
There was a very good reason her name was dragged through the mud. And good on the Diamonds for doing it.
Oh Chris, you’re embarrassing yourself. Tone it down! Wait up… you can’t. You’re a desperate muppet.
Gina has just been dragged through the mud as we see here ….she looks absolutely frightful, eh
MurdochMediaShitStains MurdochGutterMedia
Their's maybe. Her name hasn't. Smart, no-woke woman. Go her, most of us say.
Lol
The woman who is knowingly burning the planet to the ground was dragged thru the mud this week...... 😭
Not in our household. Gina well done standing up to woke.
She could have easily repudiated LH’s comments, and ALL would have been well. That she did not tells everyone A LOT.
Dragged through the mud? You mean like you clowns do every day with Harry and Meghan? F…..ing hypocrites!!!
Wow, fawning sycophant much?
Rubbish, the abuse of the diamonds has been absolutely diabolical.
Send in the clowns.
Yawn
Gina does so much good for the Australian community
Wasn't her father involved in the Wittenoom asbestos mine horror? His racist views were very well known...
Racism and genocide must never stop a billionaire from doing whatever she wants...
Didn’t her children drag her through the Courts for “no good reason”? She is desperately unlucky.
Gina is a great Australian and was only trying to help an Australian team. The team is mud not Gina.
Remember when Chris Kenny's kid gave him a serve? Had he got over that butthurt yet?
Plenty of reasons it should be.
What was the reason then?
Just total BS. A hint Rinehart is a member and major contributor to the institute of public affairs. Which was established by Ruperts father and of course Sky is their propaganda outlet. Good little puppy Chris barking for your Masters Yeah some people will do anything for a buck
Time for Gina to call in the lawyers. The media has been viscous.
Sky not news media aka MurdochGutterMedia backing its fellow IPA grifters - just shocking. MurdochRoyalCommission
jim_timmermans Nope - her name has been in the mud like forever. Nasty piece of work - that funds the disgusting organisation the IPA. And Chris Cant-he is worse that a waste of space - just a bias machine
Sport should never become hostage to the woke opinions of its individual players. The general public are well able to decide for themselves what to or not to support
Isn't it time Sky got some new commentators. Get rid of Kenny, Murray, Dean for a start.
That’s a bit of an exaggeration
And Sky would know all about dragging someone through the mud. They do it unnecessarily with great regularity.
MurdochGutterMedia
Gina needs to state her abhorrence of her fathers genocide comments otherwise she will be under will be under pressure for a long long time.
All that money and power, and it still isn't enough, cos no amount is ever enough for these soulless, dead-inside billionaire parasites.
Hey, Chris Kenny (and Rupert who probably dictated it all to you anyway):
Oh FFS
This whole thing has been handled very badly. It could have simply been a quite call from NA to Hancock saying one of our players is objecting to the Hancock name due to what Lang said 40 years ago. Gina could have then taken the opportunity to condem the comments. End of story.
There’s a lot of mud to be found in mining. notax
Most Aussies are concerned about the treatment of pat cummings, whom you don’t think is entitled to an opinion , and will be looking for a new job after cricket.
She did it to herself.
With Sky... if you're a billionaire you are guaranteed sympathetic coverage!
Got my violin out for Gina… poor Gina
where is gina rinehart apology for this atrocity ? why haven't murdoch and rat f'ker kenny mentioned this ?
Dragged through the mud...? BS...they have made REAL Aussies proud...About time more companies & CEO's stood up to and called out wokeism for wot is is...BULLS*IT
'the voice' VoteNo 'Diamonds player indigenous Donnell Wallam wants mining company Hancock Prospecting to denounce alleged racist comments of former owner, Wallam's mentor Sharon Finnan-White has said'
Something you lot do to the Duchess of Sussex on a daily basis - so your point is?
Sorry, Chris. mattjcan is already firmly lodged in Gina's rectum. No 'donations' for you!
I’d love to see those assertions tested. She’s a known tax evader. Mines are largely automated.
Why wouldn't Gina acknowledge that her Dad said those terrible things and denounce those racist values.
No good reason? Her father (who’s company this was) advocated for aboriginal genocide. But Sky News says, no good reason. Sky news represents the worst of Australia.
Sky News Australia is whipping this up. Stop politicising climate action. People feel strongly about taking a stand. ClimateCrisis Murdoch is a climate denier! auspol
Sky is mud
Well she stood her ground and good on her! Politics and sport don’t mix.
You can always rely on Chris to stick up for the rich and privileged. I’d guess that Gina is big enough to look after herself.
Shame on you NetballAust SHAME ON YOU
Dragged through the mud? Nope... Good for you Gina.
Exactly! No good reason! She didn't even marry prince Harry! There's no reason to drag her name through the mud, right anyone at Sky?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I thought mud was part of mining...
Dragged through the mud? Lol. Saying genocide is bad, is too hard?
LOL... Bolt is in on it too. Murdoch's TheIPA is angling for a big donation from Gina Rinehart...again. Likely Rupert and son need to pay off that newscorp 100 Million dollar loan they got from the Chinese bankers before the last election.
Outrage clickbait. Hyperbole. Piss off. MurdochRoyalCommission
Nonsense. More toxic dog whistles from Uncle Rupert. You may as well rename Sky to Breitbart. MurdochGutterMedia NewsCorpse
Says chris Kenny, says Rita panahi, says Peta credlin, says Andrew bolt. Who gives a faark what any of them say.
Poor Gina. Life’s tough when you are a multi-billionaire.
It’s like reading all of the dim wits comments from the ABC here on the sky news page it’s awesome 🤣🤣
Remember when her own kids had to take her to court to get their inheritance and she spat the dummy that it all went public? She's no victim.
More sky news bullshit opinion MurdochGutterMedia MurdochMediaShitStains MurdochRoyalCommission
They dragged themselves through the mud when her father wanted to kill off aboriginals with no retraction of what he said from his daughter.
She's a billionaire. We should take all her money and then drop her in the mud physically. It's the least she deserves.
You need to find who it was that incited the Diamonds. Most so young they would not have been aware of Lang Hancock and his utterances.
Sky Notnews rabble scrambling to defend the indefensible as always, RWNJ'S shouting into the void 🤣🤣😂😂🤣
Cry harder
Kenny Rides Again
Chris Kenny... the voice of reason 🤣😅😂
