Australian Sport Awards
The Australian Sport Awards originally called the Sport Australia Awards were established by the Confederation of Australian Sport in 1980.[1] From 1980 to 1996, the awards were limited to seven categories. In 1993, there was a merger of the Sport Australia Awards and the ABC Sports Award of the Year.[2]
Dawn Fraser Award was introduced in 2000 to reflect the achievements and standing of Dawn Fraser in Australia and on the international sporting stage.[3]

gollark: Who are you asking?
gollark: But if I just make that into WAV, it won't contain any data the M4A one doesn't, it'll just be less efficiently encoded.
gollark: I mean, if you have a WAV *source* file, yes.
gollark: Inaccurate.
gollark: If you play that M4A file, which contains AAC audio (the exact same as in the video), your computer will be converting it into "raw" PCM audio internally, which is what I would be doing to make a WAV file.
