London, England — Yesterday, Wikinews interviewed Michael Hartung, the Australian Deputy Chef de Mission at the Australian team quarters in the Paralympic Village.
((Hawkeye7))  What does the Deputy Chef de Mission do?
((LauraHale))  Is everything going according to plan for you guys? You've got more gold medals than you got in Beijing. 
((LauraHale))  In the lead up to this there was a lot of coverage of how much money the government gave you for stuff like the recovery centre inside here. How fundamental has that government support been towards this?
((LauraHale))  Classification has been a big issue in these games. To an extent the Americans lost some... Oscar's classification's been a big deal... There hasn't been much Australian news related to classifications.
((LauraHale))  We've talked to the Oceania people who've said they've got tremendous  support from the APC with the Wales thing. Are you guys going to continue to do that support? Because they couldn't say enough nice things about the APC and the coaches talking to their athletes. 
((LauraHale))  Have you had a chance to see many of your athletes compete? And has there been any performance that has really stood out, Australian or not Australian?
((LauraHale))  Anything else that we should know?
