Show Notes

In this special bonus episode, we discuss one of the big issues during the Tokyo Paralympics - the fact that Olympians receive $20,000 when they win gold, while Paralympians receive $0. 

Katie Kelly OAM is an Australian Paralympic Gold Medallist and had the honour of winning Australia’s first medal at the Rio Paralympics where Paratriathlon (vision impaired class) made its debut. She is also the Founder and Director of Sport Access Foundation, providing grants for Australian children living with a disability.

Not long after recording this interview with Katie Kelly, Prime Minister Scott Morrison made a historic announcement that Paralympic athletes would receive equal reward for winning a medal in Tokyo.
