Minister concedes betting defeat

AUSTRALIA'S sports minister Kate Lundy will don a Team GB shirt and row a length of the Olympic Dorney course after conceding defeat in a bet with her British counterpart over which nation would win most gold medals.

Lundy made the light-hearted wager ahead of the London Games with Britain's Hugh Robertson, who faced the penalty of putting on a Kookaburra hockey shirt and dribbling a ball around the Australian high commission in central London. "I have cheerfully conceded that I think I will be rowing this time round," Lundy said.
