The Australian Open in Perth is sponsored locally through Tourism WA by the State Government (Government of Western Australia 2017). The State Government provides grants which can be used for marketing, ticket sales, court renovations and in many more areas (Business Support and Sponsorship 2016). Corporate sectors are also just as important as government support because each year, over 20 companies support the Australian Open by marketing the event and donating money which covers a sum of the running costs of the event. Lastly, communities also play a part as they organise and run activities and programs which market the Australian Open as a family-friendly event. Activities such as the AO Ballpark encourages children and their parents to attend the Australian Open, contributing to the number of

The economic benefits of the Clipsal 500 has continued to grow the South Australian economy dramatically since 1999. In 1999, economic benefit resulted in $13.7 million. However, in the last sixteen years it contributed to a profit of $285 million to the South Australian economy. Many businesses such as small cafés, restaurants and hotels all are foundations of money raised from the event. Over the course of the years, the benefits raised from the Clipsal 500 has improved the South Australian economy dramatically, resulting in upgrades to Adelaide roads, emergency centres and or public transport.

Have you ever wondered how some athletes have gotten so good at a certain sport? Have you ever thought about what they did in order for them to get this good? For some the answer is simple; workout and train. But for others the answer is different; the use of performance enhancing drugs such as steroids.

Steroids should not be allowed in professional sports because it can be very dangerous to the athlete’s health, it is a way to gain and un-fair advantage and it can be dangerous in both social and physical aspects.
As patriotic Australians we pride ourselves to be a nation that accepts and respects the beliefs of all cultures, but on this historical day majority of Australians tend to forget the true meaning behind the celebration.

Giving due regard to the indigenous people and their mostly negative perspective on this issue, should be a priority. A new date, not the 26th of January should be established, as rather than unite, it seems
