Unfixing the Game: Sport and Recreation Policy and Local Government
The Australian Women in Sport and Recreation Strategy 1992–1994 makes provision for government financial sanctions against funded sporting organizations which fail to act over equal opportunity. If put into effect, this measure represents some departure from mere exhortation and reliance on industry self regulation. However, sports organizations are vastly overshadowed by local councils as providers of sporting infrastructure. Serious engagement of the issue of inequity in sport and recreation must, therefore, entail effort to change policies of local government, the largest provider of public recreation amenities. The Commonwealth has the basic means in place for undertaking this task but, on form so far, not the will.
