I have a question for the Minister for Health and Ageing, and I refer to page 230 of Budget Paper No. 2, under ‘Sport and Recreation Facilities—contribution to funding’. On budget night the government announced a new $20.8 million spending measure. Several projects are listed in the budget paper but, to my knowledge, there is no sign of the comprehensive list of 91 successful projects, despite our requesting this list through the Senate estimates process and Minister Ellis’s office. My question to the minister is: can the full list of the 91 projects that have been successful be provided? And what criteria was applied to these projects, given that Minister Chris Evans informed the community affairs committee that they were still undergoing appropriate checks and balances?
