Riiiight. Nothing to do with the fact that kids in general are turning into lardbuckets because they get driven every where. (Because their parents are scared of them getting run over if they walk or ride bike, because the streets are full of parents ferrying their kids everywhere in 4WDs...)

I was talking to an Australian father at my children's recent school sports day. After watching a few bean bags being balanced on heads and prizes being given out for "turning up", he said "that's why you Poms with never win anything". He's probably right.

Hmm, i think that's a little harsh. It sounds as though they're specifically targeting the more revealing uniforms.

Australian netball team co-captain Liz Ellis told The Daily Telegraph while fitted body-suits were good to play in because they kept players cool, young girls should play in whatever made them comfortable.

Who in their right mind would advocate a fitted bodysuit for a recreational local league team. Surely that's overkill, for the elites appropriate and they would have the figure to pull it off but i would certainly never imagine it for anything other than elite players
