Conservative lobby group has used images of elite swimmers in ads targeting ‘woke politicians’ in favour of trans inclusion in sport
Billboards and social media graphics created by Advance feature the phrase “women’s sport is not for men”, alongside images of swimmers Dawn Fraser, Emma McKeon and Emily Seebohm, who commented recently on trans women competing in female sports.
“For clarity – if it was sought it would have been categorically denied. Swimming Australia does not endorse this, or any message, from the Advance Australia party,” Buckley said in a statement. Guardian Australia is attempting to reach Fraser, McKeon and Seebohm and does not suggest they endorse the ads or use of their image in any way.’
“The country’s best swimmers have made their views clear, so where is the sport at? Swimming Australia should be honest about what they plan to do to address the concerns of Australian parents.” “Trent Zimmerman, YOU should be sacked by the people of North Sydney for your woke nonsense … Warren Entsch, YOUR very, very different views are the reason you should be VOTED OUT. IGNORE Dave Sharma and Senator Andrew Bragg.”
