The Greens will support this motion. However, it needs to be understood very clearly that the reason that the Olympics will not be broadcast on radio is that this government continues to cut the ABC's budget. We know there are people on the benches of the government who want to cut it even more. They even have their hand up proudly. These people want to undermine everyday Australians' having access to news, sports coverage and Australian stories because they want the ABC cut, cut, cut.
