My question is to the Prime Minister. Prime Minister, thank you for your time last week and for allowing me to brief you on the proposal for a Tasmanian A-League football team. Obviously, a Tasmanian football team would be a wonderful rallying point for the community, would inject millions of dollars into the economy, would establish soccer as the only true national football code, and would boost TV audiences. Prime Minister, do you share Tasmania's enthusiasm for this project and what commitment can you make to support the venture, and in particular the modest improvements to North Hobart Oval that would underpin this very exciting endeavour?
