In addition to the $10 million that we've already put on the table towards the bid for the Olympic Games—the opposition demonstrate their complete ignorance of the situation that exists around the opportunities to bid and perhaps that's why the Queensland government is so slow—we've put almost $20 million on the table to bid for other opportunities for global sporting events to come to this country. We're backing the Football Federation's bid for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup. We have also announced funding to support bids for the 2027 Netball World Cup and Rugby Australia's bid for the 2027 World Cup. We're also assisting in the promotion and preparations for ICC Twenty20 world cups for men and women in Australia next year.
