For a country that lives on it's sporting heritage...where are you

Hey, we're ahead of Mongolia, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, and Moldova - what more do you want?

And let's face it - there's something fishy when a UK competitor gets a medal handed to her by her mum.

I expect we'll get a Tax Surcharge in order to pay for the fix needed for this very strange phenomenon. :unsure:

Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
 

who carez abt elite sports? govt should fund sports activities of ordinary community members, not these select few.

Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
 

Nice, we can add it to the flood levy, disability insurance levy and carbon tax.

Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
 

Govt shouldn't fund sports at all.

Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
 

That flood levy was outrageous. Thanks for reminding me about it right before the weekend...

Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
 

have you seen the new crime levy?

ASPEC.... will be brought operation into next week by the national press.

Acute Sporting Propaganda Emergency Contingency.

Medals will be broken down into numbers rather than Gold Silver and Bronze
The Pro Rata head of population count will be the only measure that counts
The substance issue will be raised'

Finally and most importantly... in fact vital for the nations well being... The count will be brought down to Aussies V Poms V Celts..... If that fails... Just concentrate on the Kiwis.

Focus on the Commonwealth Games.

That is all

Normal Service will be resumed once billions have been pumped back into all sporting pursuits.

Let's face it, Australia as a sporting power are no match for the likes of Kazakhstan.

Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
 

They're even behind New Zealand now :lol:

Shades of Team GB in 96

Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
 

now this one is real bummer.

Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
 

NZL now has 3 golds!

Re: Australia..where the bloody hell are ya
 

This Australian team is going to get savaged when it returns. As I said on another thread - they're a pretty poor show when you think about the great Australian heritage in sport and previous Olympics - what with D'Arcy assaulting people and that gun pose photo and the rower who failed to get a medal getting drunk and smashing up a shopfront in London.

Embarrassing - and to go behind NZ - oh man.
