Sky News Australia host Caleb Bond has reminded the Walkley Awards of the need for energy distributors as they cut ties with sponsor Ampol in line with a new ‘woke’ policy.
The awards foundation ended a media awards sponsorship deal with fossil fuel company Ampol after choosing to sever ties with companies whose dealings offer ‘no tangible benefit to humanity.’
“I would suggest to the committee at the Walkleys that if Ampol were to shut down, and every other gas company, and petrol company, oil company, coal producer in this country were to shut down there would be a little bit of a difference to humanity.
“You’d have to stop all the cars, you’d have to stop all the electricity, and you’d have to stop all the planes and the trains.
“I think Ampol actually does a fair bit for humanity to be perfectly honest.”
