Statement attributable to Netball Australia interim CEO Mark Falvo
Netball is a special part of the fabric of so many communities in Australia.
It is a place where everyone belongs, where everyone has a right to feel safe, and where teamwork, camaraderie, friendship, fun and community spirit thrive.
In our game, there is no place for hate speech, racism or discrimination at any level. Where such behaviour occurs, we have processes in place to investigate it and to respond.
The alleged antisemitic incident at Randwick yesterday is being investigated by Netball NSW and the local association with our full support and in accordance with Netball Australia’s Integrity Policy Framework.
The individual alleged to have made the comments has been provisionally suspended from attending or participating in any netball activities or attending netball locations while the matter is investigated.
We will continue to engage with the local netball and Jewish communities and work together to send a message that netball is safe and inclusive for all.
