Thank you, Madam Deputy President. Mr Drum said:

… there are going to be an awful lot of mum-and-dad Australian businesses that are going to be impacted if these games continue any longer than another week.

Well, we are now at the end of that next week, and we say that these games need to end today. We agree with all of the members of the government in the other place that we need to provide certainty for our farmers and our tourism sector. The government has spent almost 18 months causing uncertainty. We can end this now. Let's debate this legislation today and support my amendment. Let's get it done so our farmers, our growers and our tourism operators can move on.
