Zali Steggall thinks the government should fund netball so it doesn’t have to chase sponsorship. Good idea, the member for Warringah could become the minster for netball and run it like the old Soviet sports program.

Good to see that Cricket Australia and Netball Australia have embraced world’s best practice and put the inmates in charge of the asylum. Again!

If Gina Rinehart has a lazy $15m looking for a home, I’m sure there are lots of medical research facilities happy to take it off her hands and might make a breakthrough that benefits the whole human race more than any netball player ever could.

Respect to Gina Rinehart. If only the snowflake directors of other companies had the same business acumen and courage.

Is it just possible Netball Australia has done us all a great favour by demonstrating that the era of nauseating and hypocritical virtue signalling by sportsmen and sportswomen is finally drawing to a close? Hopefully business leaders might also take note.

Australia’s World Cup performance suggests Alinta Energy would be well advised to pull its sponsorship from these losers.

Anne O’Hara says we should give our climate a sporting chance (Letters, 24/10).

Our national climate, with its captain and vice-captain El Nino and La Nina, seems to play a pretty hard game and doesn’t look like succumbing to the opposition.

It is embarrassing that a party which had the likes of Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher as leaders is now synonymous with chaos and a lettuce.

Economic forecasts are standard practice, but predictions involving human behaviour are often wrong.

The cover of the commonwealth budget papers is printed in blue. Surely red is more appropriate?
