House of Assembly Fifty-Fourth Parliament, First Session (54-1) 54 1 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Lifesaving World Championships Lifesaving World Championships Ms HILDYARD House of Assembly Reynell Lifesaving World Championships Ms HILDYARD (Reynell) (14:59): My question is to the Minister for Recreation and Sport. What was the value of the recent grant from the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing to Surf Life Saving SA to compensate for storm damage incurred during the world surf lifesaving championships? The Hon. C.L. WINGARD House of Assembly Gibson Minister for Police Minister for Recreation Lifesaving World Championships The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:00): I thank the member for the question. That wasn't administered through the Office for Recreation, Sport and Racing. What happened was that there was some storm damage during the event that they had. Because of that storm damage, some of their programs were potentially under threat unless they could find a funding source: programs for the CALD community, programs for education and programs for Little Lifesavers and Surf Babies. These programs have been a marvellous success, in particular over the recent summer. The engagement of young people and families in these programs has been outstanding. With that, and with the situation that the organisation was in, the Marshall Liberal government committed $150,000 to making sure that those programs would continue.
