MOTIONS › Community Sport Infrastructure Grants Program
Senator DUNIAM (Tasmania—Assistant Minister for Forestry and Fisheries and Assistant Minister for Regional Tourism) (12:11): I seek leave to make a short statement. The PRESIDENT: Leave is granted for one minute. Senator DUNIAM: Our government's Community Sport Infrastructure grants program has funded 684 local sporting projects by investing $100 million. The program is supporting the construction of new community infrastructure and upgrading many sporting facilities to help support local jobs, increase participation in sport and get more Australians moving. In relation to paragraph (b), funding decisions relating to sport must be dealt with through the budget process, and therefore we oppose this motion. The PRESIDENT: The question is that motion No. 380, as amended, be agreed to.
