....... The Wallabies have won their 1st game for some time.
Michael Clarke hit a century.
We have won 2 cricket games, the first for some time.
Our tennis team in the Dvis Cup have done well.
ShareMarket up, House auction clearances up, business confidence up.
Yeah ive noticed that too, Sprinty
under the Howard government
The australian olympic team had there biggest medal haul in the 2001 olympics
The australian cricket team under mark taylor/steve waugh, was the best cricket team in the world, winning the ashes and world cups
The wallabies won the world cup in 1999 against france. and were No 1 in the world at that time.
There were a alot of sporting achievements under the howard government, but ever since labor returned to power in 2007 under Kevin Rudd, australias sporting achievements went SOUTH.
I guess under a labor government a negative feeling spreads all the way to australias sportspeople,
