Sporting and Infrastructure Grants

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Leader of the Opposition) (14:31): A very simple supplementary to the Premier: where can the public go for a full list of these sports and infrastructure grants?

I had assumed that it had been provided; if it hasn't, we will provide it.
