My question is to Senator Coonan, the Minister representing the Minister for the Arts and Sport. I draw the minister’s attention to the Active After-School Communities program, which aims to get Australian children more involved in physical activity outside school hours, and the fact that the Australian Sports Commission, which oversees the scheme, is pushing to have it extended to all primary schools across Australia. I ask the minister: will the government provide immediate funding to ensure that this important program can be offered to children at every primary school in the country?
