P.S.

Sportsfreak has a column with the SPARC restructure email and a layperson's translation. Looks suspiciously like the work of my twin brother again.

On a related matter, when getting my knickers in a twist over SPARC board members swanning off to Athens, I fired off an email to a few MP's suggesting a few questions they could ask the Minister of Sport and Recreation. Well, blow me down I actually get a reply and the following written questions have been submitted to Hon Mallard today:

How many SPARC board members attended the Athens Olympic games; if any, what was the cost to the taxpayer?

How many SPARC board members attended the Melbourne Commonwealth games; if any, what was the cost to the taxpayer?

What benefits did the attendance of SPARC board members at the Athens Olympic games have for the sport and recreation sector?

What benefits did the attendance of SPARC board members at the Melbourne Commonwealth games have for the sport and recreation sector?

I'll keep an eye out for the reply.
