          <by role="member" id="4364">The Hon. K.L. VINCENT (15:01):</by>  Supplementary arising from the original answer. Does the minister realise that the Rowing SA board is in fact not private, as it is heavily funded by government through the department for sport and recreation, and therefore government does have the ability to put in place requirements for gender equity on boards, and will the minister make representation to the Minister for Sport in particular with regard to this issue to put in place more requirements for gender equity on the Rowing SA board?</text>

GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (15:02):</by>  I thank the honourable member. I am not aware that Rowing SA is a government board. We might provide funding to it but I am actually not aware that it is a government board. It may well be, and I am happy to look into that. In terms of the government's commitment, we have set ourselves the target that 50 per cent of our boards will be women, and I am more than happy to look further into Rowing SA to try to ensure that they meet with our commitment.</text>
