APY LANDS, SPORT AND RECREATION

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:59): My question is to the Premier. When will the audit of sport and recreation facilities on the APY lands be completed and the sport and recreation strategic plan released? In 2004, the state government allocated $46,000 for an audit of sporting facilities on the APY lands. The government said that the audit, along with a strategic plan, would help it work out what additional programs and facilities were needed. The audit and plan were supposed to be finished by early 2005.

The Hon. M.D. RANN (Ramsay—Premier, Minister for Economic Development, Minister for Social Inclusion, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Sustainability and Climate Change) (15:00): I will tell you what I do know—and I was criticised for doing so—we negotiated with the federal government to put swimming pools into the communities, and we were attacked for doing that. It was about getting kids back to school. No school, no pool. I think that has been good for recreation and sport outcomes and, of course, members would be aware of the Aboriginal football initiative that we have announced. I am happy to get a report for the honourable member, and I am sure that his question is genuine.
