State Opposition leader Colin Barnett has committed a future Coalition Government to funding support for the Clontarf football academy.
Mr Barnett said the outstanding success of the academy’s programs for indigenous youth deserved full government and community support.
"Under a Coalition Government the Clontarf academies in Perth, Geraldton and Kalgoorlie would receive funding to guarantee their continued operation," he said.
"Full credit must go to Gerard Neesham and his team for combining the indigenous youths’ love of football and their unique talents with better educational and lifestyle outcomes."
