Thank you for all your work on this. It escapes me as to why anyone would support a law that manages to be both ineffective and punitive at the same time.

Very true, variation can be fun and interesting - but the tendency of politicians to laud the achievements of sporting figures hardly represents a new and novel development - they are all doing it and have been for some time. Perhaps it is time for a bit of variation, after all?

Strange that politicians on both sides of the House seem to find it necessary to look to sporting figures for examples of inspirational leadership. Perhaps if we could move beyond the idea of people who are expert at throwing, hitting or kicking balls as role models then we might actually witness more examples of inspirational leadership from our elected representatives.
