Opened on August 25, 2012
We, the sportslovers of New Zealand, alarmed at abusive and unsporting touchline behaviour towards opponents and referees, earnestly request that Sport NZ, the governing bodies of NZ Rugby Union and NZ Rugby League, the Hon Minister of Sport, Maurice McCully, and the Hon Minister of Education, Hekia Parata, take whatever steps are necessary to promote in New Zealand the etiquette of true sportsmanship.
