Are sports injuries an issue?

Sport is sexy and health is sexy, yet sports injuries are not on the political landscape in Australia. Is it possible to make the government pay any attention to this area?

I think they should be issues. Players are getting injured all the time.

What do you suggest they do? Because i've got no idea about this issue.
