Constituency questions

Rowville electorate


Rowville electorate

Kim WELLS (Rowville) (14:43): (322) My question is to the Premier. When will the Premier and her government invest in women’s sport facilities within the electorate of Rowville? Now we have a female Premier, I would expect that this will translate into Labor finally investing in women in sport. Labor has completely failed to provide opportunities to women wanting to get into sport within the electorate of Rowville. The Rowville Football Club continue to lack proper changing rooms for their female players, requiring them to shuffle in and out of the men’s teams’ rooms. For a club as successful as Rowville footy club, it is just embarrassing. Yet sadly this government’s failure to invest in women in sport is not constrained to one club in my electorate – no, it is more: clubs such as Scoresby footy club, Lysterfield Wolves, Knox Churches Soccer Club and the Knox soccer club.
