I do wonder what happened to the DLP ?Na. Bob Santamaria.
I'll bet the same people whining about the political bias were the same people wanting the club to publically take a supportive position on gay marriage.
Can't have it both ways
What's to say the the ALP wouldn't have got a mention had they not made the same, or a superior offer?Nice deflection.
Basic point is that this is a divisive message which unnecessarily spruiks one political side over the other.
Gay marriage is a civil rights issue.
The Coalition winning the election is not.

If getting the $15m to our club requires a public thank you to the donating party, then so be it.
Considering the general political leanings of posters on this site it isn't surprising the outrage over a pretty bland press release about some government funding.
If you want to get offended go complain about the avalanche of rubbish from Clive Palmer. The guys spending how many millions to buy some seats in parliament...
I bet the front-line people who work for the club, and probably don’t even know the President, can hardly wait for you ranting call. Seriously. Think before you act. Bloody *** politics.I’ll be calling the club tomorrow to complain about the wording of the press release. It is really poor, and reflects poorly on the club.

You read it more than once right? And despite blatant party political references this is fine? As per a previous post of mine, it hardly matters as theee guys won’t get in so it may as well be $150m.I've read that email a few times and I'm still not getting the angst.
I’d love more money to redevelop PP but if nothing else it inappropriate to reference either political party in this manner. Who wrote this?
We have a son of a billionaire on the board, Mathieson.
The only contribution to the club he's done is free pokie/gaming licenses for our pubs.
Hoping he kicks in a few mil for this redev, Jeanne Pratt too. A 50m upgrade would be much better than 35-40m.

I'm sure he'll be in the will either way.Nephew
I'm sure he'll be in the will either way.
Craig Mathieson joined Carlton’s Board in October 2012. He brings to the Board expertise in finance, and is the CEO of The Mathieson Group. He was previously the CEO of DMS Glass.
Craig grew up supporting Carlton and remains passionate about the Club. He is the son of Carlton Life Member Don Mathieson, who has been a member of the Carltonians for more than 25 years.
