1229 - PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE PAY LEVELS

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Trade, Tourism and Major Events, and Minister for Sport
  1. Is there any evidence of disparity between the pay of male and female professional athletes in New South Wales?
  2. Are there any mechanisms in place to ensure parity or address any disparity between the pay of male and female professional athletes?
Answer -

This is a matter for the relevant sports controlling body, players and players association. However, as I stated in Budget Estimates I will always advocate that women are treated equally across all sports.
