As a citizen of Australia - I second that:-)
Incidentally, the Games are in Melbourne in 2006.

But our country, like all countries including Commonwealth members,
have quite specific visa, permit and immigration requirements which
have absolutely nothing to do with Commonwealth membership.

Where's the competition? You even have a *Canadian* coach down there,
since swimming is so underfunded in Canada. Go Ozzies, I say! Oi Oi Oi
