The real cost of Australian sport

Archive material. This page was published on sesasport.com before the current editorial desk took the domain on. We keep it online for readers and researchers; it is not the work of the present desk, and personal contact details of the original authors have been removed.

An article on the real costs of sport is in the current issue of Ken Davidson’s magazine Dissent, No. 28, Summer 2008/2009, pp. 58-60. Quite timely given the recent contribution from the taxpayer of $45.6 million to the Football Federation of Australia’s bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 2025.
