Basketball

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO (Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (15:14): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking questions of the Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing regarding basketball in South Australia.

Leave granted.

The Hon. H.M. GIROLAMO: In light of growth in basketball in South Australia, my questions to the minister are:

1. Has the Office for Sport, Rec and Racing reviewed the operations of Basketball SA and their counterparts SA Country Basketball recently?

2. If a review has been conducted what was the outcome and, if not, when was the last review performed?

The Hon. E.S. BOURKE (Minister for Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Autism, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:15): I thank the honourable member for her question. Obviously, lots of different codes of sport in our state are very active. I have had the privilege of being able to meet with many of them through this role and see the enthusiasm they bring to making sure that kids, adults and everyone in between can stay active.

Basketball SA is obviously one of the codes that we do meet with regularly and was one of the codes that we met with in regard to helping us save the women's Lightning team. This is an incredible show of support from our government and what we do invest in. We invest not only in our elite sports but also in our grassroots sports. That is what I have been really happy to be working with Basketball SA to achieve.
