That the Senate—

(a) notes that:

(i) 15 January 2021 marks a year since the release of the Australian National Audit Office's report on the award of funding under the Community Sport Infrastructure Program,

(ii) evidence to the Senate Select Committee on Administration of Sports Grants shows that the Prime Minister and his office were intimately involved in and aware of decision making under the program, and

(iii) many deserving clubs, including in regional Australia, missed out on new community sport facilities, because they were not in marginal or targeted electorates; and

(b) calls on the Government to apologise to the clubs that missed out, and provide the funding they missed out on.
