damian 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 The chances of guys from Mt. Hotham reading this site are likely pretty low but just in case: I hear that a really decent young Australian guy called Luke got quite badly busted up on a big jump in the last week or so at the Billabong Slopestyle competition. Some cash was raised for him at the benefit gig, but if you feel like chipping in a bit more for a local guy trying to push the sport in Oz then please dont be scared. The silly prick should have had insurance but ..... didn't. Details here: http://www.hotham.net.au/content.asp?Document_ID=833 Ps, In the same event last year he came 5th in the Mens Pro division. http://www.ski.com.au/scripts/admin/news/vnews.pl?ad=-100078-&year=2003 and from what I heard could have got lucky and won this year.

You need it - the public health care system only really looks after the old and the poor - everyone else in the middle is left paying. Kind of makes sense though. Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted September 8, 2004 Author Share Posted September 8, 2004 Toque - it is a different Luke. I have spent all my adult life without health cover. Kind of crazy now I think about it. Link to post Share on other sites
