Statement on Australian Cricket Team
Senator the Hon Bridget McKenzie
Today is a sad day for Australian cricket.
I understand Cricket Australia is investigating the matter and it is important that proper process is followed.
Athletes who represent our country have a responsibility to the Australian public to set standards as role models for future generations of sports men and women.
Australians don’t condone cheating in any form. It is completely unacceptable.
Australian sports have the highest reputation on the international stage when it comes to integrity.
The Australian public expects players to abide by the rules and for our elite athletes to lead by example.
It is important that people watching sport have confidence in the integrity of their athletes.
