and the Labor Party’s view, is that gender equity in sport will not happen by itself. The sports community has brought this cause forward a long way in recent years, and we congratulate them on it.
But there remain areas in which there is more work to do, which is why the ACT government’s policy platform works on numerous fronts: $400,000 into leadership and participation programs in women’s sport this term; $500,000 into more inclusive sports infrastructure—and we reckon we will exceed that; and a policy for at least 40 per cent representation of women on the boards of ACT sporting bodies.
What is heartening is that there is general national agreement to these principles. The New Zealand government has also released a similar strategy and has shown strong interest in learning more about what the ACT is doing. Clearly, there is an important role for governments here, and we look forward to making further gains off the back of the Caps’ success.
Mr Barr: Further questions may be placed on the notice paper.
