With a petition against the 'commercial decision' gaining 150,000 signatures, the sportswear company received significant flak for refusing to offer the shirt worn by the Lionesses hero. Nike backed down on their contentious decision, with a spokesperson telling Mail Sport that 'limited quantities of the jersey' would be available for purchase.'

After a fan-led campaign for Nike to produce it at 42,000 signatures, FA boss Mark Bullingham has stepped into the squabble surrounding Mary Earps' goalkeeping shirt. Since the company that makes the England kit has not decided to sell a replica shirt with Earps' name and number, it has been heavily chastised in recent months. Emmy Somauroo, a 16-year-old girl, launched a petition in the summer demanding that the sport be made famous, fetching over 42,000 signatures.

A Chinese state-owned mining giant is set to create a huge dam in one of Australia's most remote wilderness areas to contain "toxic sludge." MMG purchased the Rosebery mine on the edge of Tasmania's north-west in 2009 to mine metals critical to industries such as aerospace and national defense. The Beijing-backed company intends to convert 140 hectares (the size of 200 football fields) of the rainforest dubbed 'Australia's Amazon' into a 48-meter concrete lake to store its mining waste products, tailings. Former Greens leader Bob Brown is outraged over the proposals, and Australia must mobilize to prevent it.
