It only needs to be looked at in the context of the Olympic Games; we could also look at FIFA legislation requirements if we had time. However, what I want to discuss is what might possibly be the most important one, which is the fact that in the Gold Coast, they have—we have heard from the Government—the Australian Bill in place. Then they had to produce, after the generalised Bill, similar to the one we have, specific Bills for parliamentary consideration in order to host the Games. They had to have a Brisbane Olympic and Paralympic Games Arrangements Act 2021. This was the foundational legislation for the 2032 Games. They had to have a planning and development streaming legislation that temporarily overrode overlapping local and state planning controls and they had a major sports facilities amendment Bill. This was all primary legislation over and above an enabling Bill, very similar to the one we that we are debating this evening, that was required for them to satisfy the International Olympic Committee’s requirements under the host city contract. We have no idea what will be in the host city contract if we win in, say, 2036 or 2040 or 2044. We have no idea what AI will look like at that stage. In fact, it will be regarded as a very historical debate that we are having this evening in the context of what legislation might need to be put in place at that stage.
