My question is to the Minister for Youth and Sport, Senator Colbeck. On 27 February Sport Australia told the Select Committee on the Administration of Sports Grants that it would provide the legal advice underpinning former Minister McKenzie's authority to make decisions in the Community Sport Infrastructure Grant Program. But last week Sport Australia informed the select committee that it would not provide the advice, as the minister for sport had made a claim of public interest immunity. When did the minister make that decision? And on what basis does he make the claim of public interest immunity?
