Liveris is on the board of directors of the world’s biggest oil company, Saudi Aramco, which is 95% owned by the Saudi Arabian government.Appearing at theMedia Club on Wednesday, Liveris spoke of his views on emissions, backing a price on carbon and said “climate positive is no good” without “the technologies or the pricing structures to close the loop on carbon”.
“That’s what I do, I sit at tables where I learn what the better answer is, even if it is from the table like my previous life that emits, because if you emit you actually know the solutions.”But Queensland climate campaigners described his leading role in the Olympics as “inappropriate” and “untenable” if there were not reassurances the Games wouldn’t be influenced by “the old fashion thinking of fossil fuel industries”.
“This is meant to be a carbon positive Olympics,” Lyddieth said. “It has been internationally promoted as that, and to have a person on the organising committee who is on the board of one the most polluting companies in the world, is absolutely ridiculous.”
Who cares? What is this? A witch hunt? He is allowed to be on the board of any legal organisation he wants.
If the Olympic Organisation is so entrenched with fossil fuel companies that they dictate to QLD this decision then shove the olympics. It is just a rich tossers money spin and us plebs just put up with crumbs.

Victorian opposition leader calls Andrew Thorburn’s resignation as Essendon CEO ‘ridiculous’Matthew Guy criticises debate that led to resignation, after premier says church’s views were ‘appalling’ I would expect nothing less from a member of a party riddled with homophobes. Guess that’s Matthew Guy nailed his colours to the mast, making it clear that nobody should vote Liberal if they aren’t into enabling the further spread and platforming of religious bigotry.
