This motion responds to concerns about international gambling sites collecting data from amateur sporting competitions on behalf of the offshore live betting sites. This motion would compel the production of a 2015 memorandum of understanding between the Australian Federal Police and Sportradar designed to reduce barriers to information-sharing on match fixing and related issues. Labor believes it is important to protect the integrity of Australian sport from organised crime. The AFP have said that the release of this MOU would have an adverse effect on investigation and intelligence operations, and for this reason Labor will not be supporting this motion. However, we are open to working with Senator Xenophon or the government on measures to ensure organised crime does not target Australian sport.
