My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Sport, Senator Fifield. In September, Minister Hunt's department said that FIFA and the Football Federation of Australia governance issues would influence his decision on an extra $4 million of funding promised for Australia's bid to host the 2023 Women's World Cup. Media reports today say Minister Hunt last week told a women's football forum that FIFA intervention in those governance reforms would threaten that bid. Can the minister confirm that Minister Hunt has made it clear that FIFA intervention would jeopardise that $4 million of support?
