Retired AFL player Sam Newman says the “price of being virtuous is hypocrisy”, following objections from some Diamonds netball players to a $15 million sponsorship from Hancock Prospecting. Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins has also expressed concern about a partnership with Alinta Energy. “I’m sure they use one of their products on a daily basis, so it’s just fraught with danger, all this nonsense,” Mr Newman told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “The world we live in is being run by patronising and pompous, arrogant people who have no idea really what they’re on about, and make the rest of the people who enjoy life as it is … make it a nightmare.”
