Female Facilities Program

Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (14:55): My question is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. When and how were clubs notified of the minister's cut to the Female Facilities Program, particularly those who had invested a significant amount of time and resources applying for round 4 of the program?

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER: Point of order: again, the member's question contains—

The SPEAKER: Insinuating that a club has particularly done something? Strictly speaking, it does contain a little bit of commentary. I am going to allow the question. I expect the minister to be heard in silence.

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (14:56): Thank you very much, Mr Speaker. Everyone who applied for any of those grants was contacted by the office and they were given a case manager, if you like, to work through them to roll their grants over to the new program. They are great, exciting programs that we are rolling out on this side of the house.
