QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE

Ms SHARKIE (Mayo) (14:51): My question is to the Minister for Sport and Minister for Communications. Much of Australia's regional sporting infrastructure is community owned, outdated and not fit for purpose. Given the gambling industry's enormous profits from sports betting, would the government consider legislating for gambling companies to finance a community benefit round to deliver much-needed sporting infrastructure in the regions?
