Businessman Nathan Tinkler recently stated that the Newcastle Jets soccer team’s debts will be repaid in full. However, the New South Wales Office of State Revenue has made an application to the Supreme Court to have Newcastle Jets Football Operations wound up due to an outstanding debt, which is believed to concern payroll taxes. The Jets have won only one match in the 2014-15 season

Rona Macniven of the University of Sydney released a new survey at the Sports Medicine Australia congress on 15 October 2014. It shows that sporting bodies derive a substantial share of their sponsorship revenue from deals with companies that sell products deemed unhealthy. Fast food, alcohol and gambling account for 27% of the sponsorships in cricket, with rugby league, rugby union, Australian rules and soccer ranked next. Fast food chain McDonald’s has launched a new Western Sydney Wanderers meal, to be sold in 88 outlets across the soccer club’s catchment area in western Sydney
