Thanks, Senator Pocock. I disagree with your assessment of the reforms. I think they are meaningful. They will make a difference. They'll be impactful on the sporting codes as a result, and I think that's the evidence of how significant it is in terms of the impact it will have on them when it comes to their sponsorships, when it comes to naming rights and also when it comes to the fact that they will not be able to advertise during live sporting games.
