I know you're a Frio fan and one of the great Prio players. Anthony Grove played two hundred games for Frio number fourteen. He's also the Combat Sports Commissioner his heads up. The Combat Sports Commissioner have had a chat to Groves yet about the bare Knuckle Championships. Where are you on that?
Yeah? I did. Actually, both him and Bob Katura came in to brief me about the sport and in particular what they've been doing in relation to the regulation of
that sport. So in relation to that sport that was put forward as a sorry in relations to that sport, there were some regulatory changes that were made that were signed off just before the last election, and that regulatory change was based on advice from the Combat Sports Commission saying that with extra precautions, they believe that that bear
knuckle boxing could have occurred in the state. So those regulations were changed, and now there's been an event that's come forward, So the Combat Sports Commission is going through that proposed event and in particular looking at what additional regulations could be put in place, in particular the experience of the boxes. The other point being the medical practitioners that need to be on hand, so they're working through that with this proposed event.
All right, it's not far away if he does happen when the event organizers wanted to happen, So decision soon, I guess.
Yeah. So the combat that's in front of the Combat Sports Commission. I think they've put forward a proposal, but as I said, there's a strong regulatory environment that they're put in place for this, in particular the levels of experience of the boxes, the medical practitioners that need to be on hand. So they're working through what safeguards and mechanisms can be put in place to make sure it can be done as safely as possible.
Are you the ultimate arbiter on this reta.
It's actually the Combat Sports Commission, who, as I said, the regulations have been changed to allow it. So that was probably the key thing that happened. So the regulatory the regulation has changed that allowed the sport to be conducted in Wa. But then for an event, the Combats Sports Commission has to fans that event, and that's what's been worked through at the moment.
All right, No, they and then you I think you met when you talked about last week you mentioned potential for a veto from yourself. Do you think you need to exercise that?
Not at this day. As I said, the Combat Sports Commissions have gone through and identified a number of safeguards and safeguards and mechanisms to make it as safe as possible. And they've been working through that and they seem very very rigorous.
Yeah, all right, thank you for your time, Thanks for talking to our listeners.
Thank you
