A pitch invader carrying a flag that read “Disrupt Burrup hub” has taken to Optus Stadium during Walyalup’s* (Fremantle’s) clash with Geelong.
The bright yellow flag was protesting Woodside’s Burrup Hub, a controversial project at Murujuga in the State’s North West.
Woodside is a major sponsor of the Dockers.
The protester entered the field of play near the half-forward flank at the north-east end of Optus Stadium, running to the middle of the ground before being tackled by a security guard.
A group of three security guards then carried the man off the far side of the ground.
He was also wearing a plain white shirt with the same message emblazoned across the front.
The Dockers’ clash with the reigning premiers is being played in front of a crowd of about 35,000 spectators.
The resource giant’s presence as the club’s major sponsor was protested late last year by a group of its highest-profile supporters, including former premier Carmen Lawrence.
More to come.
