House debates Questions without Notice
Community Sport Infrastructure Grant Program
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition
2:43 pm
My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister fund all projects recommended by Sport Australia under the community sport infrastructure scheme but not funded by his government?
Scott Morrison Cook, Liberal Party, Prime Minister
2:44 pm
Funding these important infrastructure projects is and has been a priority of this government. The program received applications for some $400 million and we allocated $100 million. As I said last week, we think that this infrastructure is important to local communities. I did say at the Press Club last week that I will be working with the Treasurer as we prepare for this year's budget to see how we can provide further support for this important infrastructure that brings communities together.
Tony Smith Speaker
The Prime Minister will resume his seat. The Leader of the Opposition, on a point of order?
Anthony Albanese Grayndler, Australian Labor Party, Leader of the Opposition
Yes. This a very tight question—
Tony Smith Speaker
The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat. I listened very carefully to his question and I am listening very carefully to the answer. The Prime Minister is being relevant. Has the Prime Minister concluded? He has.
Graham Perrett Moreton, Australian Labor Party, Shadow Assistant Minister for Education and Training
What about the roller derby!
Tony Smith Speaker
Member for Moreton, you'll roll out the door in a second!
