BOURKE (Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Autism, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:01):</by>  I am happy to answer this one because the South Australian Sports Institute is an elite institution. It is there to support many different organisations and many different sporting codes. </text>
        <text id="20250916871ac6c2d7db4e08b0000189">Just last night I was there watching a group of young children, as young as 10, going through a parasports program. This is not just for the most elite athletes; it is for kids who could be elite one day, or maybe to just get a taste for a sport, or they have never had the opportunity to play sport. These kids have a disability and haven't really played many sports before or even maybe participated in parasport, so this facility is an incredible investment. It is not just thinking about the top end but also thinking about how we inspire young ones to put on a SASI uniform and be a part of something pretty amazing.</text>
