Ths funding goes up and down. After the Montreal Olympics where Australia scored no golds, there was much spending, as also in the several years before the Sydney Olympics.
Unlike in the USA, sport doesn't play a big part at university but scholarships are made to several sports institutes where much elite training happens.
Probably but not at any elite level.
Sydney University once had a team in the national basketball league but I think that team has been sold.
They also have a rugby team in the amateur Sydney competition.
When I went to University I helped set up a boomerang throwing team but that was to get sports funding and we spent it on a keg at the end of the year.
