Is that what it is about? It is not about funding sensible programs to address alcohol related harm; it is about your not being seen to be forced to do the right thing when you have not been doing it. As I said, you have got a barney now. It is about small amounts of money. We were prepared to go with trial programs to get them off the ground but you would not even go that far. We are here at 10.25 pm arguing about it because you will not go the distance by putting proper programs in place that actually start addressing the issues around sponsorship. (Time expired)
