PNG is not "fast developing" by any metric.

PNG is not "fast developing" by any metric.
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.
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
Ah there's them rose tinted glasses again lol
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.
Deal is done, might as well hope its a success. Doesn't mean its a good use of your and my money though.
But 500 million on Perth team is
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..
Call me sceptical but I don’t think greenie lays awake at night thinking about the poor people In png
no he lays awake thinking of you, pippen, red bears, centy coast wb2027, perthwrongs, mattycby etc etc literally. how else can ya explain his obsessive loser nature towards the posters, he claims arent smarts but then always and i mean ALWAYS engages in discussion with. although it isnt discussion from him because the big irony is that what he posts never actually has a shred of smarts lol and everyone he tries to troll just ignores him anyways lol
Told you before Id rather the WA money be going to teenage suicide prevention or homelessness solutions, but at least our money is being spent in our state for the benefit of a few of our people.
you always have england to go back to if ya dont agree with aussie policy cob, you wouldnt be missed
They haven't been able to get overseas multi-nationals to invest in PNG for the last 50 years, but suddenly Vlandys will change that?
Wouldn't be surprised if some mining company becomes the major sponsor of the PNG team. But the reason is to advertise themselves (before people jump in, I know the purpose of sponsoring a team is to advertise your business). Otherwise, if these multinationals were really interested in an NRL team they would have driven it and put up the 600m or a big chunk themselves for a team rather than us Aussie taxpayers.
