Labor Will Help More Women And Girls Get Into Sport

A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will help more women and girls get into sport.

We will invest $600,000 in the Bachar Houli Foundation, directly supporting its programs that promote women in sport.

The goal: helping young women from multicultural communities stay active and connected.

Labor has long backed the Bachar Houli Foundation. We delivered funding to support the Bachar Houli Multicultural Cup and the new Aspire Sports Centre.

Labor backs community sport – it’s where people of all backgrounds come together.

The alternative is a Liberal-One Nation Coalition making $40 billion in cuts to programs just like these.
