I move:

That the Senate—

(a)

recognises:

(i)

the need for cultural change within some sporting organisations relating to problems including violence and attitudes towards women, and

(ii)

the high regard in which professional sportspeople are held in this country, and the role model status that they hold for young Australians; and

(b)

calls on the Government to:

(i)

facilitate dialogue of representatives from all sporting codes to discuss best practice in managing behaviour, and the possibility of establishing a universal code of conduct in professional sport, and

(ii)

invest in educational programs to promote more positive behaviours and attitudes.

Question agreed to.
