I am disappointed that the opposition does not see fit to support this motion. Sportradar is a multinational corporation that specialises in sports data collection and dissemination to deal with issues of match fixing. But it also has a subsidiary, Real Time Sportscast, which sends data scouts around the country to amateur sporting events, including the Tuggeranong women's basketball team, to facilitate betting on those games in other countries. For that reason I thought it was important that this motion be passed so that we can actually see what the AFP has in terms of its agreement with Sportradar and whether the AFP is aware of Real Time Sportscast and its role in facilitating online gambling in other countries on our amateur sports.

Question negatived.
