AnswerView source ↗

On behalf of the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Sport and Recreation, I thank the honourable
member for some notice of the question.
(1) It was $4.5 million.
(2) A total of 1 228
sporting clubs shared approximately $1.03 million in KidSport funding in the
east metropolitan area. Figures provided are as accurate as possible, given
some sporting clubs operate across different local governments. If a breakdown
for each club is required, the minister requests that the question be placed on
notice.
(3) It represents 5 364.
(4) It is $5 million in 2016–17 and for each
of the years in the forward estimates, it is budgeted for Sport 4 All.
I hope that makes
sense!
