Furious Swimming Australia officials have threatened legal action against conservative activist group Advance after it hijacked images of some of its biggest stars in a campaign against transgender sport inclusion.
SA chief executive Eugenie Buckley issued a swift statement saying its lawyers had already demanded the billboard be shelved. Buckley confirmed that permission had not been sought from either SA or its athletes and, even if it had, it would have been quickly denied. “Swimming Australia does not endorse this, or any message, from the Advance Australia party. Swimming Australia has issued a legal notice to the Advance Australia party and expects the imagery to be removed from circulation immediately.
Don't threaten it, just do it
Fantastic absolutely no room in womens sport for men
Morrison made this debate about sport…
Until government ads come under the same regulations as the rest of the country, they’re pretty much free to push whatever bullshit they wish to.
Considering most of Swimming Australia is tax funded they won't have a case. Should be fair use. Tax payers spent $38 million dollars to send SWIMMERS to Rio. Fkn swimmers. The most basic 'sport'.
Good. I hope they follow through with it. This division in our community has to stop. I hope zalisteggall is returned to the seat of Warringah so we can concentrate on unification rather than division. auspol
Just watch SBS Insight last Tuesday. Nothing more to be said. Male bodies against female bodies unfair. Hormones and blockers don't reduce heart size, big bones and much muscle if any. Hair and soft skin do not do much to reduce male advantage.
Good.Women’s sport is for females and those that compete have a much better understanding of this than most.
Sport has governing bodies that will do a far better job of being fair that this federal governments candidates .
How are they hijacked? What did they say.
Maurice Newman & co. Delightful . The National director seems nice. 'Politically unaligned' of course:
The Liberals in the middle of more lies. Scott Morrison's lies campaign.
This distraction politics from this side of politics during the campaign is gross.
Great sign! its the truth, but i would say biological men.
Typically unethical behaviour from the extreme extremists. Not unlike what Frydenberg has done by using registered charities and unauthorised photos of children in his campaign advertising.

Oh dear. Copyright issues there.
This is *not* a campaign against transgender sport inclusion, it's a campaign to place transgender athletes in the appropriate race categories.
AdvnceAustarlia is a disgraceful lieSmearFear propaganda gutter unit . I hope they’re given the biggest fine possible. auspol
Swimming Australia if you want fairness then you need to change to rules to keep swimming fair in this country. Not let it go to the dogs like in America. Your own athletes have spoken - will Swimming Australia listen.
Swimming Australia better watch out. Soon there will be no woman’s sport. They should be standing along side, not crying fake tears
Too many religous nuts on the loose.
