Sports Funding

Mr TARZIA (Hartley) (14:44): My question again is to the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing. Who will monitor local sporting club facility grants to ensure ongoing compliance with Treasurer's Instruction 15?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Treasurer) (14:44): A rigorous process for this—

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Hammond!

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: —would be ensuring that there is a grant agreement struck between the recipient of these funds and the government, and that grant agreement of course will—

Mr Tarzia: Yes. Why don't you let the minister say that?

The SPEAKER: The member for Hartley is called to order.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: What, I am not a minister?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Hartley is on two warnings.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: What, you don't think I am a minister?

The SPEAKER: The Treasurer has the call.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: It's a budget measure.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: This is the first question time after the budget and I am answering a budget question.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Jeez! Bust out the sock puppets, Mr Speaker. It is very simple: we will strike a grant agreement with the recipients—

Mr Tarzia: Why don't you let the minister answer the question then?

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Because I am a minister and I am responding. Have you not been in this process before—

Mr Tarzia: Yes, I have.

The SPEAKER: Order! The Treasurer has the call.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: —or is the seven-second memory kicking in again, is it?

The Hon. L.W.K. Bignell interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Mawson is called to order.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: It is just extraordinary.

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Hartley well knows the standing orders and he is coming very close.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: So we will strike a grant agreement, as the Treasurer's Instructions require. They will be monitored, as the Premier has already advised the house, by the Premier's Delivery Unit. If those opposite don't like what we did at the election or don't like what is in the budget, then stand up and tell us which grants you don't support. Which ones don't you support? Name them. Are you turning your back on the hounds?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: The member for Badcoe is called to order.

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: Have you released the hounds? Is that what's happening?

Members interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Member for Hammond! Member for Chaffey!

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN: This is an appropriate process. We support the community.
