PNG's back.

[Canard]

Yeah it is incredible, NRL the NGO, pull this off and what other strife torn country will they send us into. LOL.
Nah, but been thinking this for a while, we`re getting in on the ground-floor of a fast developing, resource rich country, the opportunities for strategic investment and long-term revenue generation could be game-changing.

PNG is not "fast developing" by any metric.

So a png NRL clilub will be 'minted' yet the country itself isn't and is rife with corruption.

Seems reasonable.

Think these american films you see set in some god forsaken poverty stricken African nation that has the leader in a palace dripping gold and eating caviar.
Thats pretty much NRL in PNG.

I guess it all depends on if the NRL and PNG government can persuade the big mining and oil&gas multinational corporations currently r@ping the country to chip in with some long term funding and sponsorships .

60 million for the oerth bid sure doesn’t compare does it

Do you actually have anything constructive to say about this team

If you don’t then why not just stick to the bears thread

Ah there's them rose tinted glasses again lol
The good thing is hopefully it helps a handful of families get out of poverty in PNG.
Is it a good social ROI on $600mill? Well we all have our opinions on that.

And in this thread we are claiming it's a great thing that there is no oversight on how money is spent in a country that is rife with corruption.

As long as it doesn't go to the sport they secretly support.

Two days ago, maybe yesterday you said: "sign up Perth, Christchurch, make PNG a massive success and sign a massive TV deal " Rose tinted glasses anyone.
Tonight you`re lecturing us on returns on social investment; normal programming has resumed.

Deal is done, might as well hope its a success. Doesn't mean its a good use of your and my money though.

if you were half smart youd understand there can be multi million dollar (and sometimes billion dollar) companies in poverty stricken and corruption heavy countries. its not uncommon. many of these countries tend to have abundant resources or something they produce that generates money. its just how the money is spents thats unethical i guess. papuan nrl club could be mid-teir profitable and it wouldnt have any relevance to the country itself.

if you were half smart youd realise that if not sport then this money would most likely be going to war mongering and/or infrastructure that'll just keep getting destroyed from on-going localised turmoils anyways. its from foreign spending policy budget, its going over seas either ways and no one battered an eye lids when feds were spending $50m on rugby in fiji. indonesia gets like $350m just because.. its $4.96B dollar budget in 2024 that budget increases by about 3-5% per year..

$60m is a set numbers so by using their DFAT foreign aid spending policy budgeted yearly increases which is around 4% rise by year it'll be

(calculated 4% increase per year)
YEAR - BUDGET - NRL - % of BUDGET
2024 - $4.964B = $60m is 1.20%
2025 - $5.151B = $60m is 1.16%
2026 - $5.364B = $60m is 1.11%
2027 - $5.578B = $60m is 1.07%
2028 - $5.801B = $60m is 1.03%
2029 - $6.033B = $60m is 0.99%
2030 - $6.274B = $60m is 0.95%
2031 - $6.524B = $60m is 0.91%
2031 - $6.784B = $60m is 0.88%
2032 - $7.055B = $60m is 0.85%
2033 - $7.337B = $60m is 0.81%
2034 - $7.630B = $60m is 0.78%
2035 - $7.935B = $60m is 0.75%
2036 - $8.252B = $60m is 0.72%
2037 - $8.582B = $60m is 0.69%

now of course future govs can cut spending and the 4% increase doesnt become normal but point is even if it stays the same now until end of 2037 papuan nrl + pacific rl infrastructure spending will only ever be 1.20% of total foreign spending policy budget ever. thats a very small number in the grand scheme of things.

so once again perthwrongs, ding dong
