The new appointed Sports Minister, Gayton McKenzie, announced that the government will no longer fund trips for super fans. McKenzie stated that the money would be better spent supporting athletes and artists who struggle to raise funds for attending sporting events and exhibitions.
“How do we justify paying for fans when we have athletes and artists who need the money more?” McKenzie asked. He emphasized that the funds would now be redirected to where they are most needed.
This decision marks a new focus on supporting those directly involved in sports and the arts, ensuring that they have the resources to participate in important events.
