Lowys now telling government departments what to do maybe ?
Boy they must really have something big to hide. This is getting ridiculous . It seems everyone in the footballing world wants the new Congress to be ratified ..except the Lowys , their "owned" board and a few "tinpot" federations  .
BTW ...has anyone actually asked any FFA Board members (other than Lowy) for their opinions ?

We should ask Lurker

When will we know??????????????????????

next time on dragon ball z 

Less likely to be Loweys, one should look at the make up of the Sport Australia Commissioners and who has more to lose from Football especially a strong Female Football  

Please tell me Gillon McGlauglin isn't a board member of Sport Australia?

No, but similar people are

X2. Kate Palmer. Sport AU's CEO is a d..khead. John Wylie is there. He is AFL aligned and did the crap 2013 'punishment' Of Essendon Drugs. Very real possibility that the AFL backed Sport AU's Board will want FIFA to suspend FFA. 

Dangerous intervention.

I see, so a Netball fan and an AFL/Cricket fan, through the authority of the Government, are going to decide what is best for Football in this country. I guess Gill just needs to make a call to his mates in office anyway.

Lowy needs to distance himself from this as quickly as possible.

For SA to voice an opinion at 1 second to midnight is laughable.
Lowy knows any government intervention is a red card and knows there is no way it will help resolve the standoff.
It can only mean Lowy want's FFA to be suspended.
SA and its AFL and other football code proxies would like nothing more than to see football banished.

Wylie and Palmer are dangerous. Very dangerous. https://www.cmo.com.au/article/644638/how-sport-australia-plans-build-new-national-sporting-agenda/

I see Football  is not worth mentioning or is it outside (Offside) her to 12
"To further ensure the marketing effort and Sport 2030 is as collaborative as possible, Eyres and her team have brought together marketing leaders overseeing 12 of Australia’s biggest sporting codes including basketball, AFL, cricket, swimming, surfing and tennis, into a cross-code advisory group. Historically often seen as competitors, this working group, dubbed the ‘Marketing 12’, is about fostering more engagement with physical activity as a whole, she said."

"For example, Sport Australia could provide AFL and NFL codes with assets and packages for digital signage to run at half-time during games."

Really?

"marketing leaders overseeing 12 of Australia's biggest sporting codes including basketball, AFL, cricket, swimming, surfing and tennis"


Oh, just fuck off already.

They don’t even have rugby on the list. I think afl is an enemy to other sports not just ours

Suspension is looking the most likely outcome now.

FIFA have been patient for too long.

Why?

Sport Australia would be well aware of FIFA's intolerance of government interference. I guess the question is at what point does something become interference. Does the expression of an opinion become that? I doubt it.

Well if nothing else it is free advertising for this "Sports Australia" never heard of them and had no idea who was on the Board.
Who picked them ? How dare they not even mention Football NRL and Rugby union  ?
WTF is going on in this country ?

The one good thing is we now know it exists and has no love of football.

Sa la vi FFA 

Didnt Sports Australia fold in the late 90s?

It is interesting (and to me disturbing)  that 6 of the 10 board members and 3 of the 5 executives are female.

So let me get this straight, a government body, run by people who are not favourable to football, are getting involved, meaning they are doing the one thing most likely to get us expelled from FIFA?

Yes

They hand over $4.8m a year so they do have skin in the game.

$4.8 million a year to the dominating (participant wise) code in Australia is a pittance and dereliction of their duties.

Beyond the beyond.

Seems to have taken the view if I can't have my way I will destroy it all.

I've got myself confused (along with a headache) reading everything....
So who are the good guys?? Who are the bad guys?? FFA? FIFA? Sports Australia? Anyone else I missed?

the lowys called in their mates.  they're prepared to bring it all down with them.

I'll fill you in....FFA is looking to form a block representing Lowy/Fox/The Gov and AFL lovers to counteract the dangers of Football clubs and participants holding too much power.

Do Sports Australia actually have any power to do anything?

Not hand over $4.8m ?
