My question is also to the Minister for Sport, Senator McKenzie. I'd like to congratulate her on her recent appointment, but I point out that there have been four sports ministers in the last 12 months. In November, Senator Fifield sought to defend his decision to gift $30 million to Fox Sports on the basis that 70 per cent of all women's sport was on Foxtel. What proportion of women's sport was broadcast on free-to-air TV before the Liberal-National government broke an election commitment and cut $254 million from the ABC?
