"Mallard here! We're banning Fijian sports teams because we believe their right to democracy is more important than just playing games! But we've exempted their rugby sevens because we think the IRB sevens would just go to Aussie anyway! Which might upset a few of our voters - and that's a game we're not prepared to play!.. There's a limit to how principled one can be in an emergency!!. Y'know what I mean?" 10 December, 2006
