Sports Voucher Scheme

The Hon. C. BONAROS (15:16): Supplementary: does the minister acknowledge that the Sports Voucher scheme beyond year 9 will greater assist students and families in regional areas in participating in sporting activities? Are there any plans to further expand eligibility for that program from the fund or elsewhere?

The PRESIDENT: Minister, you can answer the question; it was a legitimately well-intentioned question, but it really wasn't a supplementary question.

The Hon. C. Bonaros: It's a fund, Mr President.

The PRESIDENT: There was the word 'fund' in both answers, but—minister, you are on your feet.

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Autism, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:17): Because the honourable member likes fun. This is, as she has pointed out, a very popular program. The Sports Voucher program is one that has grown over the years and one that we have just doubled recently to being two $100 vouchers that can be made available per year. We are always willing to look at how we can further expand this program if it is wanted so much in the community.
