"What price success? How the Australian swim squad at the Rio Olympics is funded by us"
"IT HAS cost the Australian taxpayer $38 million to get our swimmers to Rio. With estimates the team could win eight gold medals, that works out to $4.75 million each.@

 

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so no problem, we can blow $38m on mediocre swimming performances.

 

I guess that puts into perspective the complaints about the cost of other "Government" spending.

 

Put another way what do you get for $38m? A new hospital wing? :Shame:  :angry:
