  • Media Release 13 November 2015
    Media Release 13 November 2015 VicHealth announced as first major partner for Melbourne’s two Women’s Big Bash League teams The Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades today (13 November) announced VicHealth as the first major partner for both clubs’ Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) cricket teams ahead of the inaugural season, which begins next month. In a major boost for both clubs, the partnership was created through VicHealth’s Changing the Game: Increasing Female Participation in Sport program which aims to increase the number of women and girls who are physically active, raise the profile of women’s sport in the media and championing the important role women play in sports’ leadership and management. As part of the partnership, the Stars and Renegades will play for the Lanning Elliott Cup at the WBBL derby at the MCG on 2 January 2016. VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter described the partnership as a major step towards raising the profile of women’s sport and championing the important role women play in decision making and leadership roles. “We want to change attitudes and change the game. Partnering with the Melbourne Stars and the Melbourne Renegades to support the first Women’s Big Bash League season is a major step in ensuring that women’s sport gets the recognition it deserves.” “This has been an amazing year for women’s sport in Australia. We’ve got some of the best female athletes on the planet, and they deserve better recognition. Recent VicHealth research shows that 62 per cent of Victorians think women’s sport should get more coverage in the media.

  • Is Australian Cricket Racist?
    Is Australian cricket racist? What they said… ‘There wasn’t a match I wasn’t racially abused in when I went out to bat’ John McGuire, an Indigenous player who is second in the all-time run-scoring list for the first-grade competition in Western Australia ‘We have to be vigilant against any comments, against any actions, even though it’s conducted by only a very small minority of people’ New South Wales premier Gladys Berejiklian warning cricket fans against making racially abusive comments The issue at a glance On January 9. 2021, on day three of the India vs Australia test match being played on the Sydney Cricket Ground, India captain Ajinkya Rahane and other senior players spoke to the umpires at the end of play. It was subsequently revealed that they were alleging racist abuse from some sections of the crowd. On January 10, play was stopped for eight minutes following claims of more alleged abuse. At least six fans were removed from their seats for allegedly making racist comments after Mohammed Siraj ran in from the fine-leg boundary, alerting teammates before umpires passed on the message to security and police. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2021/jan/10/india-report-alleged-racist-abuse-from-scg- crowd-during-third-test A subsequent enquiry confirmed that racial abuse had occurred; however, the six spectators who had been escorted from the stadium were not the perpetrators. https://www.skysports.com/cricket/news/12123/12200065/cricket-australia-confirms-india- players-were-racially-abused-in-sydney-six-fans-cleared The incident has provoked significant discussion regarding the extent of racism in Australian cricket.
