Cause if it’s an emergency a plane can’t leave right away
A helicopter can't fly that far you f**king numbat.

Let's all be adults here, old mate got caught out lying, scrambling to come up with a solution to PNG having third world facilities.

What big issue? Third world isn't a term used these days except by clueless people.
What's your preference "developing country"?

It doesn't changing any of the cold hard facts about abject poverty, lack of potable water and electricity.

I know you and rest of the V'landys brigade seemingly want to just ignore these facts, and seemingly don't have any idea what the reality of the situation in PNG is

It doesn't say "locked in", it was a number seemingly pulled out of that journo's arse.

The official quote from Albo and the NRL was "noting has been decided yet"

Nothing was allocated in the FY24 budget

And LOL at the suggestion a hospital could be setup just to cater for the rich NRL players. Are you 12 years old?

Where did I say it was just for rich players?

PNG gets 80k tourists a year, There will be some people that go to watch their team up there.

Anywhere up to 20k extra a year. So that is 25% increase. With that comes more accidents

A schoolboys system needs to be added, Again more games means more injuries. So you need atleast 1 hospital to have the facilities to cater for it

Haha f**k me.

Why haven't that built such a facility now?

Surely your not suggesting that now that rich Aussies are coming in droves (laughable) that there needs to suddenly be a huge investment in health? Quick a few Eastern suburbs kids are coming we need a 24hr VD clinic??

High school, mate only about 20% of males even make it to Grade 10 (through no fault of there own)



There is some weird "born to rule" colonialism in this thread.

If the PNG players are good will they be forced to play for the PNG side?

How do you stop the talent drain to Aus/NZ for a better standard of living.

Indentured servitude?

You've nailed the biggest issue, besides the crippling poverty and crime.

Any half decent player will immediately bolt to Australia.

But everyone knows that, this is why most LU people support it,

Heres an idea spend the $600mill building a decent hospital and then EVERYONE benefits, not just some millionaire sportsmen being evac'd to Australia. .

I usually don't get all the hate thrown at you on here, but f**k me are you an absolute simpleton?

Royal Hobart Hospital is closing down specialty wards due to lack of funding and staff, basically every regional hospital in the country is being held together with sticky tape and staffed at ~50% of the recommended numbers and you think the government should spend $600 million dollars on a hospital in Port f**king Moresby in case an NRL player breaks their leg during play?

Here's a better idea:

Or how about;

Or maybe;

1698875368020.png
What about;

1698875413687.png
Or even!;

But, nah, lets build a $600 million hospital and university campus in a third world country because the government has said they'll foot the bill for a few years.

Just f**k off with this idiotic idea for f**ks sake.

You've got the wrong guy. Which doesn't surprise me as you seem a very insular self possessed individual. Enjoying your latest rant though

I brought up the chopper, whether it could be done is another question, that is quite a a fair distance, maybe its just to reach mainland Australia first then a second flight to Cairns... anyways #Ask GUS he fkn said it!!!

Again though

Look at the countries playing cricket and soccer tournaments, far worse countries do it.

How many of those 80% who drop out would stay if they had to so they could play footy or even still if they were paid as part of development squad?

That is the sort of stuff these arrangements aim for
