Broadcasting (Major Events Television Coverage) (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
As I indicated, I do not bother watching the sports events in question but at the gym I attend I hear that unless parents subscribe to pay-per-view channels, their children will not be able to follow and identify the great sporting heroes. The sporting ethos will be denied to them through class based discrimination predicated on the possession of wealth. I object strongly to this, particularly since it favours Mr. Rupert Murdoch.
