I thank Senator McGauran, my colleague, for that very important question. It is very important that colleagues take an interest in sport, and I encourage the shadow minister to also take a very active interest in this area. I have gone through the many achievements of the Commonwealth Games. The Commonwealth Games, by every measure, were an outstanding success.

One point I did not make yesterday was that another significant achievement of the 2006 Commonwealth Games was the antidoping program conducted by the Commonwealth Games Federation. The CGF undertook the toughest antidoping program ever undertaken at a Commonwealth Games.
