Should surf clubs take money from oil companies?

Ampol is sponsoring Surf Lifesaving Australia. The giant oil company says its money will go to saving lives and its name will appear on the sleeves of surf club members on beaches right across Australia this summer.

The wider surfing community says the clubs should not be taking money from oil companies that contribute to global warming. Sean Doherty is Chairperson of Surfrider Australia. He says he understands why Surf Lifesaving Australia is taking the money, but it’s not a good look.

Social media erupted last month with people slamming Ampol AND Surf Lifesaving Australia. We make sense of the debate in today’s Briefing. If you have a view, join the discussion on Instagram.
