BONUS NOT ON, SAYS PA

THEIR latest annual report shows they have millions of dollars in cash reserves.

So why won’t Paralympics Australia stump up the cash to reward their successful Tokyo Games medallists?

A furore erupted earlier this week when it was revealed Australia’s Paralympic medallists would receive no bonus for winning medals.

PA’S annual report for 2020 shows the organisation had $14.2m in cash at June 30 last year. But Paralympics Australia (PA) boss Lynne Anderson says the numbers create a false view of an organisation still surviving “hand to mouth”.
