		For example, Sport Canada, now part of the Heritage portfolio, has a $48.6 million budget for 1994–95; of that, only $7.2 million goes directly to athletes, and fully $2.5 million of the total budget is allocated to keeping Place R.

		The Sydney Olympic Games in 2000 are a sink-or-swim event in Australian sport and the Aussie government is taking no chances: Fully $135 million Australian in new money is being distributed to national sports groups in the run-up to the Games, including some events AIS has nothing to do with.
		Satellite institutes of sport exist in every state and territory (even in Australian Capital Territory, the tiny region in which Canberra and AIS are situated), and the administrations of many sports are decentralized.

	Australian Sports Commission - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The delay in establishing the institute is commonly considered to be a combination of poor support for Australian sport following the 1976 Montreal Olympics and the uneasiness between the Australian Olympic Federation (now the Australian Olympic Committee) and the Government.
		Buoyed by the concept of a national sports institute during a trip to China and keen to bridge the gap between government and sport, in 1980 Ellicott and his staff offered the Coles Report as a model plan for Australia.
		In August 1987 the government formalised their decision to rationalise federal assistance to Australian sport and the AIS merged with the Australian Sports Commission, which was to be the agency responsible for general sports participation as well as high performance sport.

		Robert Allenby, a graduate of the Victorian Institute of Sport, wins three tournaments and $675,000 in prizemoney in his record-breaking past three weeks.
		Australians earning the average weekly wage have no hope of ever enjoying the wealth that Allenby has amassed over his 14 years as a professional.
		Yet a small percentage of their taxes is taken by the Federal Government and fed back into elite sporting programs which, ultimately, helps to line the pockets of graduates who become professional money-making machines.
