The master (AFL) race?

The Age reports the following Gattaca-esque story:

“Two of the AFL's most powerful clubs are considering DNA testing young recruits to test their likely height, strength, speed and stamina.”

I don't even need to comment on how disturbing this is. It is only a matter of time Johnny “Top Aussie Sports Loving Bloke” Howard allocates Federal funds for this advancement of the great Victorian game.

Admittedly it is a shame we cannot apply such testing to our Prime Minister candidates to screen any potential weasels from gaining power in the future.
