Female Facilities Program

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:50): My question is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. How does the minister's axing of the $24 million dedicated Female Facilities Program assist efforts to improve gender equality in sport?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order: standing order 97 declines the member the opportunity to have comment and argument in the question.

The SPEAKER: In 'axing', or the latter part of the question?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Most of the question, sir.

The SPEAKER: Yes, there was a fair bit in that question. Would you like to rephrase? I will allow the member for Reynell one opportunity to rephrase the question. Member for Reynell.
