"The Minister for Sport Kate Ellis today welcomed the release of The Future of Australian Sport from the Independent Sport Panel. The Rudd Government has undertaken the biggest review of sport in more than a decade to ensure that Australia is prepared for the critical challenges facing sport and our community in the future.Underlying challenges have been emerging for Australian elite sport over a number of years that need be addressed to ensure Australia’s continued success on the international stage. As a nation it is also clear that the full capacity of sport had not been adequately harnessed at a community and grass roots level and placed at the centre of preventative health efforts aimed at tackling serious emerging health issues such as obesity.
