That's right—your cricket! How are you Aussie kids going out there paying for your cricket? Your heroes are behind paywalls because your politicians have allowed that. You have to pay for access to your heroes and not to stand in front of them but to watch them on the big screen. It is so unfair.

My amendment will make it harder for companies to do this. I agree with the government that this bill goes some way to expand the prominence of the anti-siphoning framework, but it can be improved. Think of the effect it's going to have on that next generation of kids. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You should be totally ashamed of yourselves.

As for the Tasmanian representatives here—both sides, Liberal and Labor—they are doing it tough down there. They are doing it tough. If anyone is doing it tough in those rural and regional areas, it's in Tasmania. And you're going to make those families pay for these services so their kids can watch it. You should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves today. It's all because you're too cowardly and don't have the guts to take on the Murdochs. Absolutely shameful.
