The ACC obviously has its concerns. It wouldn't act like this if it didn't have evidence. But was this the way to deliver its message? Right now, across the entire planet, this story is leading the news bulletins. That's the rest of the world, who previously identified Australians as the people from the lucky country; the sun-loving, always smiling, bronzed athletes who grit their teeth when the going gets tough, compete with all their hearts and never give up until the race was run; my God, the world now see us as cheats.
Any Australian athlete, abled or disabled, who has ever won anything, or who is likely to win anything during the next decade, is now a cheat. This simply isn't the case and it's a disgrace that this irresponsible announcement has now perpetrated this injustice on the many, many great Australians who have succeeded through their talent and hard work. I feel sick that our country has been tarnished in this reckless manner.
