I move:

That the Senate—

(a) notes:

(i) That the Reclink National Program has delivered over 100 000 participation opportunities to thousands of people experiencing disadvantage across Australia in partnership with over 450 community organisations,

(ii) there is no other organisation in Australia with the expertise, capacity and capability of effectively and efficiently providing over 100 000 participation opportunities every year to the most disenfranchised, disadvantaged and forgotten Australians, and

(iii) widespread community concern at the diminishing resources to support people experiencing disadvantage, many of whom have relied upon Reclink's program for social participation and social inclusion through engagement with sport and recreation programs; and

(b) calls on the Federal Government to reinstate funding to the Reclink National Program.
