The point is, people are trying to deny them on the basis that they shouldn't be spending their money on a team. I'm saying people have no right to tell them what they can and can't do. It's their choice and it's based on an overall plan to improve their country. Do you miss every single point?
Do you know how corrupt and shambolic most governments in Australia are? They can't get their priorities straight either. But if some foreigner tried to tell you we can't do something because they know better than we do you'd tell them to get f**ked because this is a sovereign nation and we are free people.
Those of you who are saying it have no f**king idea. The bid provides for a viable and beneficial franchise that can be realised within the decade if the will from the NRL is there. Your 30 year estimate is based on nothing. It's a figure pulled out of thin air. The bid provides for a pathway that allows the club to be operational by the latter part of the decade if it is allowed to move forward. That's much more qualtifiable than pulling ridiculous random figures out of your arse.
Government ministers? You mean government ministers that are part of one of the most corrupt governments on the face of the planet. And business...who do you think feeds that corruption?
As an Australian I would have the right to question my government's decision to spend that kind of money on that particular process. But I wouldn't have the right to tell PNG how to spend its money. But in any case they're not spending ridiculous amounts of money on the bid. They will be spending plenty of money realising the aims of the bid, but only if the bid is successful. You have to spend some money on a bid otherwise you don't have a bid and you don't get the thing your bidding for.
It doesn't matter what people think. They have no right to tell another country what to do. And to think you do is arrogance in the extreme.
You're the one who doesn't even know what you're arguing. You didn't even know the PNG bid wasn't for the 2013 expansion process. You don't even know that the international governing body of rugby league is called the Rugby League International Federation. You pluck figures out of your arse. You can't read and comprehend every single point I make, which actually makes you go around in circles. I know full well what my argument is. You don't seem to have any understanding at all. You're so easily confused it's ridiculous.
You're the one who brought up the soccer nonsense. The point is, as an Australian I have the right to have a say on what this country does. If you were from PNG you would have the right to have a say in what that country does. But you don't. This country's elected government chose to bid for the WC. PNG's elected government wants an NRL team. If the people of PNG don't like that decision they have the right to oppose it. But they don't oppose it, they support it.
It's calling having nothing. It's what you've had from the start.
If you don't understand the democratic process I'm not going to explain it to you. So instead just think about this. Do the people of PNG support their government's decision to support a bid for an NRL team? That is all that is relevent.
More like running out of pointless, off-topic, irrelevent arguments. You've done well I'll grant you, you came up with a lot. But I guess you had to run out in the end.
Mate, I know. But I have to until this genius understands.
