  • Funding Sport Fairly an Income-Contingent Loans Scheme for Elite Sports Training

    Funding Sport Fairly an Income-Contingent Loans Scheme for Elite Sports Training

    THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE Funding Sport Fairly An income-contingent loans scheme for elite sports training Background Australian taxpayers spent more than $97 million on elite sportspeople in 2001-2002 (ASC 2002). A significant proportion of this expenditure went on providing Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) ‘scholarships’ to 673 athletes and grants to national sporting bodies for their elite athlete programs (ASC 2002). Major expenses associated with assistance to elite sportspeople include the provision of training facilities (such as swimming pools and playing fields), coaching, medical advice and international and domestic travel costs associated with competition. While there is no doubt that the Commonwealth Government has a role to play in encouraging excellence in all fields of human endeavour, be they sporting, educational or artistic, there is an important equity issue associated with providing taxpayer funded training to individuals who go on to earn millions of dollars per year from their sporting prowess. As shown in Table 1, sportspeople who make it to the top of some sports earn extremely high incomes. For some, sporting success while young can also be translated into high incomes in later life either through sponsorship, public speaking or commentary positions. Many would question the fairness of a system that delivers huge incomes to a handful of elite sporting stars; but that is how the sports market works. However, there are good grounds for taking action to recover some of the publicly funded costs of training sportspeople who go on to earn very high incomes. In order to address this issue it is proposed that the Government introduce a HECS- type scheme whereby those sportspeople who go on to earn high incomes would be required to repay the costs incurred in the public provision of their training and development.

    The Greatest Show on Earth Nawshad Shah

    World Cup Football, Germany 2006 The Greatest Show on Earth Nawshad Shah The count down has already started for the biggest sporting event the 18 th World Cup Football finals to be held in Germany. Sporting purists might say the Olympic Games are the bigger and grander. But when host Germany kick-off the opening game against the Costa Rica in Munich on June 9; no sporting tournament will ever have received such global attention. World Cup 2006 will be considered to be the biggest, most expensive, most technological festival in the sporting history. From humble beginnings in 1930, the World Cup Football has become the most watched and lucrative sporting event in the world. At the 2002 tournament in Korea and Japan, FIFA earned $A1.53 billion and they are expected to bring in even more from this year’s finals in Germany. Australia will be making their first finals appearance since 1974. With five-time winners and reigning champions Brazil in their group (Group F), Australia are expected to be in a three- way fight with Croatia and Japan for the second qualifying spot in what promises to be a thrilling clash of very different cultures and footballing styles. World-renowned Dutch coach Guus Hiddink, who led Netherlands and Korea to the semi- finals of the last two World Cups, is now in charge of Australia. They have dozens of players who have proven themselves in Europe’s top leagues. Kewell is their best talent, while captain Mark Viduka, Tim Cahill, Lucas Neill and Mark Schwarzer are proven Premiership players.

    Did You Know? Some Quick Statistics…

    Football, or soccer, is truly a World Game, with an unmatched ability to bring people from different backgrounds together. With attention turning to Brazil for the FIFA World Cup, which starts on 12 June 2014, there is no better time to discover the contributions Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have made to the World Game. Did you know? Harry Williams is the only male Aboriginal player to represent Australia at a World Cup. He joined the Socceroos in 1970 and later played in the 1974 World Cup in Germany.1 In 2008, Jade North became the first Aboriginal player to captain the Socceroos. He has a tattoo with his tribal name, “Biripi”, on his left arm and recently played in the 2014 A-league grand final.2 Lydia Williams and Kyah Simon are the first two Aboriginal women to play together in a World Cup. Lydia played in the 2007 and 2011 World Cups, and Kyah played in 2011.3 In 2011 Kyah became the first Aboriginal Australian to score a goal in a World Cup. Charlie Perkins was offered a contract to play soccer for Manchester United before becoming the first Aboriginal person to graduate from the University of Sydney. Travis Dodd was the first Aboriginal Australian to score a goal for the Socceroos.4 Some quick statistics… The Football Federation of Australia (FFA) estimates that there are 2,600 registered Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander soccer players.5 Harry Williams played 6 matches for Australia in the 1974 World Cup qualifying campaign.6 1 http://www.deadlyvibe.com.au/2007/11/harry-williams/ 2 The Aboriginal Soccer Tribe: A History of Aboriginal Involvement with the World Game, John Maynard, Magabala Books: Broome, 2011 3 http://noapologiesrequired.com/the-matildas/15-facts-about-the-matildas 4 http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/perthglory/players/Travis-Dodd/72 5 http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/site/_content/document/00000601-source.pdf 6 Tatz, C & Tatz, C.
