But this is a different situation and we can send a very clear message about a cricket game, in particular the Prime Minister's XI game. It is the one game about which we could send a great message. If we had the courage of our convictions and chose between one game of cricket and all these deaths, we could make that choice.
The second point I would like to make is that it is quite clear to me that this motion does not have the numbers. So, let us at least show the courage of our convictions in this way. Let us say that we will do it, that we will not grant an exemption in a given year. I suggest 1995; others might say 1996. But let us think about it in that way. Let us at least make it very clear to Australian cricket that we are not going to tolerate the slimy relationship it has with these killer companies.
