The understanding of the Director General of the Department of Sport and Recreation that $8 million was allocated to the Western Australian Tourism Commission in this year’s budget for the development of sporting facilities is incorrect. If the Leader of the Opposition wishes to seek information about the allocation of funds for this purpose, I suggest that he direct his question to the Treasurer.
