Sports Funding

Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:52): My question is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. What role did Liberal Party president and SANFL president, John Olsen, and the SANFL have in the formulation of a plan or policy to hypothecate state government funding for football, cricket and netball that the government had recently announced?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:52): I thank the member for the question and refer to my last answer in the fact that, to my recollection, I do not remember speaking to the president of the SANFL about that, but I have outlined in detail the work we did with the SANFL, the SACA and Netball SA to deliver this wonderful program for South Australia in the lead-up to the budget.
