A reminder for everyone who wants sport stars to stay out of politics, sport IS politics.

And Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins is in Canberra today to speak to Anthony Albanese about the government providing $100m in funding to help local sporting teams and grounds future proof against climate change.

Because what do you know – climate change impacts everything. Including your local grounds. Cummins is part of an all-star athlete push to help sporting clubs survive – the call is for help with lowering energy costs by helping clubs transition to renewable power, help with protection against flooding, as well as other climate measures. Because even if you’re uncle who voted for John Howard doesn’t believe in climate change, your insurance company sure does, and that is putting the local games in doubt.
