The Morrison-Joyce government is strongly supporting the 2032 games bid. A national partnership agreement between the Commonwealth and the Queensland government, which provides up to $10 million to support the bid process, has been signed. As part of the bid process, the Commonwealth has provided a number of guarantees in areas such as security, immigration and taxation that are vital to the successful operation of such a major international event. And the Prime Minister has committed to funding required for crucial games infrastructure, with funding to be provided on a 50-50 basis with the Queensland government. These infrastructure investments will, of course, cater for the '32 bid for the games, but it's the long-term use of these facilities for local communities and sporting organisations that is at the forefront of our planning.
