House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, First Session (53-1) 53 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Sports Vouchers Sports Vouchers Mr WHETSTONE House of Assembly Chaffey Sports Vouchers Mr WHETSTONE (Chaffey) (15:41): My question is to the Minister for Recreation and Sport. Why are the people in the electorate of Fisher being told on a Labor pamphlet that families will receive $50 for each primary school aged child to help with the cost of sporting club fees when only one in four children are actually budgeted to be funded for the program? The Hon. J.J. SNELLING House of Assembly The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I don't think the minister is responsible for what is on a Labor Party pamphlet. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: The minister indicates that he wishes to answer. Minister. The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL House of Assembly Mawson Minister for Agriculture Minister for Forests Minister for Tourism Minister for Recreation and Sport Minister for Racing The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL (Mawson—Minister for Agriculture, Food and Fisheries, Minister for Forests, Minister for Tourism, Minister for Recreation and Sport, Minister for Racing) (15:42): Thanks very much. I would love to answer it because we have answered this five or six times. The member for Chaffey is a very slow learner. People in primary schools who are going to be eligible for these things would understand it. The Speaker House of Assembly The SPEAKER: I will anticipate the point of order. I invite the minister to withdraw that. The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL House of Assembly The Hon. L.W.K. BIGNELL: I withdraw the 'slow learner' line, Mr Speaker. We have told the member for Chaffey time after time. This was an election commitment by this Labor government. We went to the election saying that we will give every primary school child who wants a $50 voucher to be used towards offsetting the cost of club membership fees, $50, and we stand by that guarantee.
