Coalition quietly spent another $150m sports grant fund during election campaign

Exclusive: Program to fund female changerooms and swimming pool upgrades never opened to public applications

The Coalition has quietly spent another $150m sports grant fund promised in last year's budget without opening up the process to public applications.

The $150m female facilities and water safety stream program, announced by the Coalition less than two months before the election, was funded in the 2019 budget for the purpose of female changerooms and swimming pool upgrades.
