Australia is the land of kangaroos, barbies and decent cricket. The sun, sea and stubbies lifestyle is fantastic and many Aussies are partial to a flutter.

World famous internet betting exchange Betfair has established Australian markets on their site to the benefit of punters everywhere.

But ever since Betfair recieved a license from Tasmania the naysayers that do not want a betting exchange in Australia have been trying to thwart the English based company.

Betfair has received a lot of criticism down-under from both traditional bookies who believe the site takes away business and the government, who are unbale to tax the massive turnover generated.
