NRL - PNG APPROVED NEW LICENCE

[George Sancti]

You are 9 billion % right.

Thinking about it more closely, for your average png punter, the new club and infrastructure will probably only serve to showcase the shocking disparity of wealth over there.

Might even help the Chinese cause as people hobbling off to a day in the mines for 3 bucks a week get pissed off watching Ben Hunt in his limo with a ute load of armed guards behind him.

It’s a regular sight in Brisbane these days, but the Raskols couldn’t cop seeing that for very long.

5 million of our png league buddies can’t even eat properly as it is.

Good point Silverdale Phantom. However, it could work in both directions. With some folk it may cause envy and resentment whilst with others it may serve as inspiration and hope of a better future.

It's actually not a bad idea and money well spent given the conditions of the agreement. Sport is a good way to capture the hearts and minds of the PNG people - in this case their Number 1 sport. The Chinese govt would be fuming at Albo's big foot in the door. We should have made PNG a Territory after WWII but vision isn't something Aussie govts are known for.

when did png stop being an australian - Google Search

That’s right or something similar, but it would put a lot of snouts out of joint.

And we can look forward to Australian companies getting work cover exemptions and other incentives so when Eric falls off the top of the nrl tower at the compound, he ends back in the highlands in a bamboo wheelchair.

Why Silverdale , and hear I was thinking that you never had a sarcastic bone in your body !

$600MILLION. Plenty of opportunity to skim a little off the top

Ok, so I deleted quite a few posts here questioning moderation.

if you have an issue with being moderated, you can contact admin, but be advised, mods aren't sitting around just waiting to answer shit, they have lives, you may have to wait for an answer.

So,,,
Unless I’m mistaken Albo and more pointed V’Landy are using the NRL as a political football
Now…
IMO this is completely wrong and further this brings the game into disrepute ON A GRAND SCALE.

Now this is clearly too late to do anything about this.

I do not begrudge the PNG but this, Albo using the NRL for his own personality is the worse anybody has done to our game.

Yep, not good as far as I am concerned. Way, way not good. I can foresee massive problems in so many things with this matter.

Politics and sport should never happen.

Am I allowed to say this?

I'm just realising that our posts are being checked and can be deleted if sensitive??

I think you’re like me, justa, jubilee and the panel at large, everyone cares about the png folk just skeptical and interested about how it will manifest itself short and long term.

I was thinking that if I was prime minister of a pacific island and I indulged in some Chinese relationships, I might lose a lot in other areas. But is Chinese investment always bad for a country?

They invest a lot here already. They are a major trading partner. Social ties are getting stronger.

If they withdrew, who would take up the slack?

I suppose better minds than mine understand this dynamic a lot better.

And no doubt the poor lady and the injured baby in Alice Springs today wished they were in Port Moresby instead of at home when they got attacked and injured.

I might try and work out if living in the Alice is safer than Port Moresby. I think it probably is, but it still sounds like a dangerous place to me.

As is leaving a pub at closing. You get your Kenty types who are amped up. We’ve all seen the nonsense.
