Jade BENHAM (Mildura) (10:00): And while the government is busy managing this scandal, we have just lost the MotoGP. This is devastating for motorsport fans like me. After decades at Phillip Island and after it being raised in here – I raised it in here two years ago that something needed to be done or we would lose it. And to a place like Tailem Bend probably – for heaven’s sake, has anyone ever been to Tailem Bend? No, because why would you? Except for their amazing racetrack and that amazing facility. This government was told two years this would happen, and now it has.
