Thank you, Acting Deputy President. I will do so.

How can Premier Andrews believe that the rule of law, the most fundamental of ethics, the most basic tenet of civic duty and, heavens, the eighth of the    Ten Commandments don't apply to him and don't apply to his government? You cannot take taxpayer money from your constituents and undermine the democratic process. At the very heart of the cricket scandal is a 'victory at all costs' mentality and a corruption of the spirit of the game. The Victorian Labor Party is no different. This scandal is a misappropriation of taxpayer funds and a corruption of the democratic process of the highest order. But Victorian Labor are worse because, unlike the Australian cricket team, Daniel Andrews actually won. He got away with it—victory at all costs. These are the people who are governing Victoria. They have no morals, they have no principles, they have no remorse and they have no shame.

Senator Kim Carr interjecting—

You have been caught ball tampering!
