La Trobe U announces “a sports diplomacy course.”  No. it’s not about being polite when beaten by a drug cheat

It is for athletes and officials who want to be “an effective ambassador” and “represent and advance Australia’s interests in the Indo-Pacific and other regions.”

The MOOC is free, although a completion certificate costs $70.

LT U developed the MOOC in partnership with DFAT – which if the feds funded it instead of an advertising campaign, seems a very sensible use of public money.
