I represented Australia in an Olympic sport. I received zero taxpayer funding despite representing my country at four World Championships, and narrowly missing Olympic selection for the 1992 games.
Most Olympians get very little I can assure you.
I don't like most funding for the arts, but hey - I can live with it.
