A group of protesters – called the ‘Dead Wallabies’, a zombie rugby team – has hosted a press conference outside Parliament House in Canberra to promote a message: “Fossil fuels equal death”. The activist group is aiming to ban fossil fuel companies from sports sponsorships. This comes as the Wallabies are currently taking part in the Rugby World Cup in France, and one of their jersey sponsors is Santos, which is one of Australia’s largest oil and gas companies. “The presser did attract some attention,” Sky News Business Report Edward Boyd said. “The media stunt was organised by a group called Comms Declare and the climate activist organisation Rouser.”
