My question is addressed to the Prime Minister. Will the Prime Minister fund all projects recommended by Sport Australia under the community sport infrastructure scheme but not funded by his government?

Funding these important infrastructure projects is and has been a priority of this government. The program received applications for some $400 million and we allocated $100 million. As I said last week, we think that this infrastructure is important to local communities. I did say at the Press Club last week that I will be working with the Treasurer as we prepare for this year's budget to see how we can provide further support for this important infrastructure that brings communities together.

The Prime Minister will resume his seat. The Leader of the Opposition, on a point of order?

Yes. This a very tight question—

The Leader of the Opposition will resume his seat. I listened very carefully to his question and I am listening very carefully to the answer. The Prime Minister is being relevant. Has the Prime Minister concluded? He has.
