Sportsay Election Edition -  March 2010

The challenges for our members are here now and the 2010 State Election provides an excellent opportunity for sport in South Australia to ensure that all political parties are aware of the issues facing our members in providing quality delivery of sport for all South Australians.

This Election Edition of Sportsay outlines both the key areas of concern and our recommendations in relation to strategies which we believe would provide significant value to sport in South Australia.

We encourage you to consider our recommendations in relation to the responses and policies of the parties.
