MR SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Ms Porter?
MS PORTER: Minister, can you advise what steps will be taken to recognise the achievements of Ms Ellery and her colleagues at the recent Commonwealth Games?
MR BARR: My department has been working with the ACT Academy of Sport to find a date when most athletes and families might be available to be recognised in the Assembly. It is a challenge because so many have gone straight from the Commonwealth Games on to other tournaments and other commitments.
