The government does not support this motion, as the capital funding of multisport stadiums is not the primary responsibility of the Australian government. The Australian government already makes a significant contribution to sport, with over $357 million invested to support sport and recreation in 2016-17. The Australian government supports grassroots participation in sport, including through the Girls Make Your Move campaign, which specifically encourages young women to be more active through sport and physical activity.
