Good to see the Poms win a gold at home......after five days.

According to someone from the swimming team the reason they failed is because they didn't get enough money off the government. I'm my book $1 from the taxpayer is too much. If someone wants to compete in the Olympics why don't they fund it themselves? The ones that do get a gold medal become rich by sticking their mug on everything from microwave ovens to Holden cars. If the sport is so popular then the swim team shouldn't have any trouble raising the funds privately rather than waiting for the government dole and then complaining it isn't enough.

I'd rather see the money spent on something more worthwhile that improves life in Australia and if nothing more worthwhile is found then give the taxpayer some tax relief.


Australia is no worse a place for them failing at the Olympics.

Nah he's definatly at Labor voter..........wants more money for good causes like carbon tax relief, and handouts for the socially inept so they can put it into the pokies at Panthers et al, cause they give so much money away to support our struggling athletes..........(declaration - i could never vote for Labor again)

Yeah but mate, if your anything like the other folks from "The Shire" you'd have trouble finding the polling booth, let alone knowing how to use a pencil.

It would be nice to see them win at Wimbledon after 80 years since last.
