Oz mission pays damages for Commonwealth Games Village vandalism​

The Australian mission at Commonwealth Games has paid Rs 10,000 as damages for the vandalism of some members of its squad who threw down a washing machine from the seventh floor of a Games Village apartment.

The alcohol-fuelled vandalism, first reported by TOI, could have taken a fatal turn if the machine had struck someone and led to condemnation of the behaviour of Aussie athletes concerned though no formal complaint was lodged. The amount paid covers the cost of the washing machine. No fine was imposed.

Australian squad were involved in at least two other incidents of overly boisterous behaviour in the dining area and on one occasion were led away by their managers.

Height of stupidity, disgusting. We should have not accepted the money. It is so ridculous. You need to know to be good guest, these minor things happens. I read we took 10000 Rs means roughly 225$. This is shameful.

We should treat Australians better.

who cares about the money .... It's their image which is lost ...

There are immense responsibilities when you are representing your country in foreign land, But even in such situation their behavior is pathetic.
