fil he average Australian's appreciation of ballet was summed up by comedian Paul Hogan when, in a TV commercial, be exclaimed loudly from the circle: "Crikey, that bloke's got no strides on!" TNT set out to rectify that recently when it sponsored the Australian Ballet for two evenings of its short season in London. Far from being a new phenomenon, the ballet is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Its chairman is Fred Millar, who is also chairman of TNT's Australian based holding company, TNT Ltd. "It is unusual for a transport company to sponsor the arts," admits Steve Ding, TNT Express group marketing manager. Sharp-eyed readers will note the dancers pictured have formed a T to subtly identify their sponsor.
