I withdrew. It's called whining and folding, rolling over and being spineless and gutless. What is the point of the National Party? Bring back Barnaby Joyce as the leader. I reckon he would have at least stood up for something. He would have actually stood up against this. He probably would have. Mr Barnaby Joyce probably would have stood up to Mr Dutton on this issue and actually stared them down. But he has been gagged, hasn't he? He has been gagged because the Liberal Party and the Labor Party know that, if you want to be government in this country, you have to bow to Murdoch. You've got to kiss the ring. That's what's going on here. It's a disgrace. Everyday Australians are losing access to sport. It's locked behind paywalls. It's going to cost them hundreds of dollars a year. This is an absolute disgrace. It's weak, gutless and pathetic.
