| | Cigarette adverts disappear from sport events | | The Australian |
 | | Until today, the federal health minister had the power to grant an exemption from the general ban on tobacco advertising in Australia for internationally-renowned events. |
 | | In 2000, five events were allowed to be sponsored by tobacco companies, including the Ladies Masters Golf, the Indy 300, Rally Australia, the Motorcycle Grand Prix, and the Formula One Grand Prix. |
 | | Just two, the Motorcycle and Formula One grand prix, continued to accept tobacco sponsorship until today's deadline. |
