  • The reporter who was at the focus of Chris Gayle's comments, Mel McLaughlin, said she was keen to "move on."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Mel McLaughlin, Television Reporter:

    "It was more, it was just unexpected, of course you don't expect to get that sort of answer and a little bit disappointing because not used to seeing that. It just doesn't happen."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Mel McLaughlin, Television Reporter:

    "I don't really want to be the subject of such conversations. I like just going about my business and doing my job. But definitely a good thing that people are talking and you know we want equality, we always want equality and I've always felt in my career I felt nothing but respect."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Mel McLaughlin, Television Reporter:

    "And he did issue an apology and I accept that and we just move on."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) David Barham, Network Ten Head of Sport:

    (Reporter Question: Will Chris Gayle be mic'd up from here on end?)

    "Probably not because I sort of lost a bit of confidence in knowing what he's going to say, in all honesty."
