Talkback lines lit up on 6PR Breakfast after a local Fremantle mum made a submission to her council to cut ties with fossil fuel companies and end to big-dollar advertising across the renowned green-leaning city.

Tahlia Stolarski (pictured above with partner Tom Helps) told Breakfast host Gareth Parker she has been colouring over the name of Woodside Energy on her daughter’s little nippers uniform but struggled to deny economic realities were intruding in to her own life on the fossil fuel issue.

“Yes I drive a hybrid car, because I couldn’t afford an EV … on a personal level, we’re not going to do f-all from a personal perspective when Woodside are still out there producing and working on new gas projects,” she told Parker.

Another listener Tom Helps then called Parker on Breakfast, supporting Tahlia’s views before it was revealed he was her partner and drives a big 4WD.

“This argument about driving a car is pretty pathetic really mate, it doesn’t hold much weight,” Tom told Parker.

Fremantle council says it will consider the effect a ban will have on local sports teams in the wake of ‘sportswashing’ furores, which have dominated recent news headlines.

Several councillors, including mayor Hannah Fitzhardinge, have already backed a request to investigate if and how coal, oil and gas companies could be restricted from advertising at local venues and facilities, such as Fremantle Oval.

The phones continued to go nuts, with callers wanting their say on the climate change issue.

“If it wasn’t Woodside it would be another company,” one listener Jackie said.
