Australia's Paralympic team disappointed with sponsor support
Updated
Australia's Paralympic team says it has been disappointed with the support it has received from the corporate sector.
The Beijing Paralympics start this weekend, with the opening ceremony taking place Saturday night.
The head of the Australian team Darren Peters says it's been difficult to find corporate sponsorship.
"Very disappointed in the banking/finance sector - we've got so many letters of rejection from them, even for any approaches," he said.
"None of the top sponsors have partnered with us and so we've had to go about that the hard way.
"And there's certainly been a shift away from sport since Athens and it's something we're going to have a look at between now and London to try to sort that out."
