Find footage of her speech in parliament here Comments attributable to Greens spokesperson for the arts, Sarah Hanson-Young: “The irony is not lost on many AFL fans that just last week they suspended Izak Rankine for using a homophobic slur, yet Snoop Dogg is set to get $2 million to play his misogynistic, homophobic music on our turf. “The AFL is a cultural institution in Australia, and cultural institutions should be backing homegrown talent.
“At a time when Aussie artists are copping the brunt of the cost-of-living crisis, we need proper investment in our music industry. “If it’s an Aussie game, it should be an Aussie artist playing. “With over 6 million people tuning into the AFL Grand Final year on year, this is a prime time slot to platform homegrown talent.
It’s time to let Aussie artists rock the ‘G’. “I urge the AFL to have the guts to dump slur-merchant Snoop Dogg and let an Aussie artist rock the stage instead.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
