Sports vouchers for $200 are now available to 200,000 Queensland school kids to help their parents pay for community sports.
Queensland Premier Steven Miles on Saturday announced his government would expand the existing sports voucher scheme and provide 200,000 sports vouchers worth $200 to parents to pay sports fees.“We’ve upped them to $200 and made them available to 200,000 kids,” Miles said at the Cornubia Sports Club in Logan.
At the media conference to announce the sport funding, Miles described reports his government was asking businesses hoping to win government tenders to meet with unions as “misleading”.The accusation by Civil Contractors Federation Queensland chief executive Damian Long is that union influence takes place at meetings of Queensland’s Building Industry Reference Group.
“While there are unions on the Building Industry Reference Group, most of the participants there are the employers,” Miles said on Saturday.Tony Moore
