Australia: Taxpayer funding versus medals won

I came across this graph via the New Zealand Initiative newsletter. It wasn't the subject of their article but appeared at the same linked page.



On the other hand NZ taxpayer funding will have undoubtedly risen along with the medal tally over the same period. Perhaps we can only safely conclude that taxpayer funding does not guarantee medals.
