You think the people of png have any influence on their govt policy re chinas funding? I’m sure if China offer a few bill to improve clean water the good people of png will send them packing as they now have an nrl club lol
A few bills aren’t going to change anything. It has to be turned into a law first.

It is a very strange location! It is an industrial area surrounded by low cost housing suburbs. It’s only a 15min drive from Hillarys, sorrento etc which are up market beach side suburbs. Can’t see where they could build it in Malaga, it’s already fully developed, only the buffer strip with Reid Highway left but can’t see them using that,

Someone over here claims it’s nearer whiteman park/ Ellenbrook but that’d be even further away from the nicest areas!
the northern suburbs do have some strong local Jnr clubs (nth beach,Joondalup, Ellenbrook and Alkimos).

I heard they are intending to link up the bold park sporting centres with a precinct type development so very surprised it isnt being built there. Much nicer area and more central.

they have just built a $50mill soccer centre out at queens park which again isn’t an obvious nice place to put one so who knows, maybe they are spreading the love around Or using up the cheapest crown land.

I’m not surprised that you are surprised by a lot.

Yes, it’s a great use of tax payers money. In fact the aus govt should fund every prof sports club in the pacific region, you know it makes sense.

I thought it was dodgy use of public money till I saw what they did with buying digicell and gifting it to telstra, what a rort! There is zero accountability when it comes to public spending!
Maybe you should bitch to your king, Pom boy.

When the sharks got govt money to upgrade a privately owned stadium how did you feel about that

Do you mean the 9.6M grant in 2006 to provide a single stadium at the southern end of which didn’t cover the full scope to build?

I felt it wasn’t enough at the time to provide acceptable levels of comfort for people that use the stadium for public use to attend many events not just sharks games 10-12 times a year.

Turns out most of this forum agree it wasn’t enough given the amount of slack thrown at the stadium. You won’t find any sharks fans defending it. I hate the place.
I loved that grant.
Why?
Because I got personal gain out of it. The company I worked for won the rights to do a lot of the work, and I was the foreman to do it. In turn I gained a great deal of insight into how NRL squads are run by drinking a lot of beers with Sticky and Flanno.
I was in the ET Stand one midday lunch when Stick met with the next SBW, Karl McNichol(Filiga), probably 10m away.
The convos I had with the coaches and players were priceless. My favourite was when Blocker Roach came down for a session of "coaching" ( his son had just joined the U20's team). Blockers idea of "coaching" was saying the word "kent" a lot. Sticky left the session half way in stitches and I joined him in the kneel-over aftermath.

And thats the tamest story I can give on a public platform.

Anyway, the govt money went my way.

As long as you did the job they paid you for, no worries from me

BuilderBear and his other account are going to have a cry about someone posting at 2am again.
Seems like your having a cry most times you post, besides I work nightshift, so you'll see most of my post in the evening or early morning.

I didn't know there was a curfue on what hours your allowed to share an opinion

if you didn't give a shit why did you bother to spend time making post and also replying to said post? seems like you care very much.

where is builderbear? seems like you miss him if you are taking time to post about members who are barely posting here.

maybe youre still espresso depresso that no one is sharing secret covert information with you. i don't get things shared with me either maximum it's all good. but feel free to share your credit card details with me and i'll share the receipts of the things i bought with it
