Australian politicians discuss about inviting Woods

Tiger Woods admitted his infidelity publicly on last Sunday. This no doubt dropped a big bomb into the Australian politicians. Some political parties believe that it is not wise in such a time to invite Woods participate in the Australian Masters, although last year's event achieved good economic returns.

Before Woods admitted his infidelity publicly, the Victoria state government still intended to spend millions of dollars to attract the world's first golfer to Melbourne. The current situation is obviously not the same. National Party leader Peter Ryan said that the whole community is now very worried about whether Woods should be invited to the competition.
 

Peter - Laien said that though Woods was still a golf master indeed, the Victorian Government still should wait and see whether the world No.1 can handle his problem well. Last Friday, Woods admitted to his wife, family and fans that he had extra-marital affairs and expressed his sincere apology.
 

Last year, Tiger Woods received 300 million Australian dollars to participate in November's Australian Masters, half of which is paid by the taxpayers of Victoria. After the end of the event, The Victorian Government released a report, claiming that Tiger Woods’ participating in the Australian Masters in Melbourne had injected 34 million Australian dollars to Victoria's economy. The four-day event attracted a total of 107,000 watchers.
 

Tim Holding, the Minister of Victorian Tourism and Major Events, said that Ryan should not act as a "moral police" and allow only those people who acted well in their private life to Melbourne to play.
 

Last week, the opposite party leader Ted Baillieu said he was not much attent in whether Woods the return game. However, he insisted that Victorian taxpayers should not foot the bill for Woods.
