‘Entitled and small-minded’: Netball Australia has cooked its ‘greatest golden egg’
Netball Australia is about to learn the lesson, "go woke and you go broke" the hard way, says Sky News host Chris Smith. This comes after Gina Rinehart's mining company Hancock Prospecting withdrew its $15 million sponsorship, following a “whiney, whingey, woke campaign” by some members of the national netball team, the Diamonds. “Those who instigated this campaign against Gina Rinehart are spoilt, entitled and small-minded brats,” Mr Smith said. “And what does Gina Rinehart do in response ... she has the good grace to keep propping up Netball Australia for the next four months to help fill the gap, while this embarrassing organisation finds a new sponsor. “By taking fake offence at Gina Rinehart's incredible generosity, they have just cooked their sport's greatest golden egg."
Manly Sea Eagles teach country lesson on 'poisonous' woke culture: Bolt
Today, the Manly rugby league club taught the whole country a lesson about this poisonous woke culture, Sky News host Andrew Bolt says. Seven Manly Sea Eagles rugby players will sit out of Thursday night's clash with the Sydney Roosters over the club's decision to wear a special inclusive jersey. The jersey features a rainbow trim and will be worn "to celebrate inclusiveness" during this weekend's Women in League Round. The players expected to miss the match are citing religious and cultural reasons. Mr Bolt said the Manly club management "forcing" players to wear this particular jersey without prior consultation was emblematic of a broader hypocrisy and bullying attitude among the cultural elite. "See, it's arrogant organisations – sports codes particularly – (that) have been forcing their members to bend their knee, literally, to woke movements to prove their alleged tolerance on race and gender. "But players who refuse to submit tend to get excluded until they give in, like South African cricketer Quinton de Kock, or even sacked from their competition, like rugby superstar Israel Folau when he refused to stop preaching a bible passage about gays." Mr Bolt made it clear he does not support the seven Manly footy players' take on Christianity but that does not mean they should be denied the same tolerance that is asked of them. "You don't have to agree with their take on Christianity – I don't – Christians love," he said. "But that is what these guys believe, and sincerely ... and the abuse they are getting on Twitter is sick. "The question is – if this whole exercise is about tolerance, where is the tolerance to them? The answer of course is there's none."
Novak Djokovic on flight back to Serbia
Novak Djokovic has boarded an Emirates flight to Serbia after his bid to stay in Australia failed, when a Federal Court upheld a government decision to deport the world number one because of his anti-vaccination stance. The tennis star has been embroiled in a lengthy saga over his right to stay in the country to compete in the Australian Open, which is due to begin on Monday. Mr Djokovic, who is unvaccinated, arrived in Australia with an exemption from the vaccination requirement approved by the Victorian government and Tennis Australia, which granted him a visa to travel to Australia. However, he was detained upon arrival, his visa cancelled and was sent to Melbourne’s Park Hotel, which acts as an immigration hotel. He then launched a legal campaign to overturn the federal government’s decision to cancel his visa, which culminated in Judge Anthony Kelly reinstating Mr Djokovic’s visa. Immigration Minister Alex Hawke revoked the world number one’s visa four days later using his ministerial powers. While Mr Djokovic challenged this decision in the courts, the decision was upheld by Federal Court judges, and Mr Djokovic was ordered to leave the country. The tennis player had been hoping to make Grand Slam history by securing a record-breaking 21st title at the Australian Open.
Djokovic has 'really good' chance of winning his court challenge
Thomson Geer Lawyers' Justin Quill says he is "very confident" Novak Djokovic will win his case before the Federal Circuit Court against the Department of Home Affairs. "His chances of winning his case are really good, I'm very confident that he will be successful in this application before the Federal Circuit Court," Mr Quill told Sky News Australia. Mr Geer said even if Mr Djokovic wins his case it does not mean he will play in the Australian Open. "Now that doesn't necessarily mean he plays in the Australia Open – I think what's likely to happen is the matter will be remitted back to the Minister to consider whether or not the visa should be cancelled – noting of course what the judge says in his judgment," he said.
Tennis Australia boss vows to reveal full story behind Djokovic saga
Tennis Australia boss Craig Tiley has vowed to tell the full story behind the Novak Djokovic detention saga – in a video leaked to the media. In an internal video obtained by the Herald Sun, Mr Tiley said Tennis Australia has been doing everything it possibly could. Mr Tiley said he is working closely with Djokovic and his team, as well as other players facing similar situations. He vowed to reveal more information once the lawsuit Novak Djokovic has launched to stay in the country is complete.
Italy wins EURO 2020 final
Italy has won the European Championship final, downing England 3-2 in penalties after the game finished one-all after extra time. Wembley was packed with 60,000 fans - the majority hoping England would bring football home.

There was pandemonium in Melbourne as Italy fans celebrated the win.
Ash Barty wins ladies Wimbledon title
Ash Barty has become Australia's first Wimbledon champion in four decades after winning the ladies final in a three-set thriller against Czech Karolína Plíšková. Following an easy first set, the 25-year-old Queensland star was made to fight in the next set for the coveted title. She won the tournament 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, in the first three-set final in nine years. Ms Barty is the first Australian woman to lift the Venus Rosewater dish since her mentor and Indigenous tennis star Evonne Goolagong Cawley, in 1980.
England defeat Denmark to secure first major final in 55 years
Millions of Britons are celebrating after England qualified for their first major final since 1966 by defeating defeated Denmark 2-1 at Wembley Stadium on Thursday morning. The Danes open the scoring after winger Mikkel Damsgaard opened the scoring with a free kick on the 30th minute before conceding an own goal nine minutes later. However, a Harry Kane strike into the second period of extra time off the back of a controversial penalty decision secured a date with Italy at the same venue on Monday morning.
