Australian Olympians win $20,000, $15,000 and $10,000 for winning a gold, silver or bronze medal respectively.

Some are even outraged that this is not enough compared to other countries. 

Where is the outrage for our Paralympians who will earn a total of $0 for their wins?

Currently, the US sets the standard by paying all of their Olympians, disabled or not, the same amount of prize money for their wins. 

More Australians should know about this, more of us should be upset about it, more needs to be done. Especially for an event preaching "unity in diversity" at Tokyo this year. 

We want equal prize money for our Paralympians!
