Anika Wells, sports minister, says the government has learned the lesson of the sports rorts scheme. She will not be making final decisions on funding approvals, and will instead leave decision-making to the expert panel of former sportswomen.

We want to put athletes at the heart and listen to the athletes’ voice and that’s what we are doing with this program that we are announcing today.

They have more than delivered on their mission, so now it is time for us to do our part. The next generation is inspired and now we need to build them the safe and welcoming spaces in sport to facilitate their participation and success in the years to come.

This is about ensuring that the next generation of Sam Kerrs and Mackenzie Arnolds get not just the applause as Mackenzie and Sam have, but they get the infrastructure and facilities that they need. We are going to see an explosion in participation in sport, and that is why this $200m will make a difference to not just recognise that this has been a moment of national inspiration, but to seize the opportunity for the next generation coming up to be able to fulfil the dreams that are being felt right around our nation.
