I read the Gippsland roller derby club didn’t get funding.

bwhahaha

why the f**k would the government ( any government) give that joke of a sport any money over say a soccer club?
Could it even be called a sport?

fair suck.

I don't see why it wouldn't be a sport.

Anyway, it's not a question of whether we like an individual application or not, it's a question of whether procedure was followed.

I doubt that the friendly fat shire dad reads his emails so he can blame a staffer I guess.

Fiddy grand grant to shire soccer club for a building that was already built. Bit of breaking news this morning.
Ten Mill to North Sydney Council for the North Sydney Pool. You know the one right under the Harbour Bridge. The money came out of a 150 mill from the Rural and Regional Sports Funds.

Think I am getting my head around this.

Roller derby?

get f**ked !!! is always the answer to that one.

What a waste of money.
An obscure niche sport that only fat chicks with tats and happy days hairdo’s gives 2 shits about.
I’d be dead set shocked if Labour gave them 1 cent either.

give a grant to a club that will most likely fold through lack of interest within 10 years over a soccer club that has been lobbying for over 20 years??
Ha
Blame libs or whatever reason you want
Correct decision was made.

oh
And you’ve e just contradicted yourself
Childhood obesity is at an all time high.
Give the money to soccer clubs.
Biggest sport in the country.

The Nroth Sydney Pool is heritage & has over 1 million visitors per year. $60 million for its first refurbishment in 60 years is cheap. Its an Icon from another Era that is an absolute must to restore.

There are plenty of legal people looking at getting a prosecution going against scomo for when he refused to meet with the retired fire chiefs and there for contributed the the fire catastrophe. Look at the time line . If he had met them and listened, then acted, lives and property could have been saved. He didn’t and should resign.
Gutless Labour for not bring this on.

Is there any law forcing him to meet retired firemen?

About as much hope of prosecution as there was for Trumps impeachment!

My fatty comment was a joke.

I know nothing about that roller club. Maybe they didn’t meet the criteria. I don’t know.

But it seems there was some kind of criteria/guidelines/stated purpose for these grants that wasn’t followed.

If the soccer club met the criteria I don’t care that they got money.

Sure.

The dispute is over what is meant by “regional”

Does regional in this context mean “regional” as in a regional city (like Newcastle or Wollongong), or does it mean the facility will service a whole region (like say the northern part of Sydney.)

I think the term “rural and regional” was used to insinuate the first definition. But if it means the second, then us big city people are more than happy to take the money.

There has to be sort of common sense .
A roller derby club that has been around since 2012 and chopped and changed locations and club name is not something I’d be throwing money at.
Yet
This is the shit media mention as a club who missed out.
Whereas a soccer club ( largest in the shire) like Lilli pilli who have busted their arse to get the grant cop shit in the media.
They cop shit because scomo has a link to the area.
They were knocked back twice before this time.
They’ve been fund raising for 20 years to upgrade the clubhouse.

then f**kwit climate change hero’s get on social ripping into a soccer club because of scomo.
What a bunch miserable merkins.

There is a lot more to this story yet to come.

The rorts timeline is getting very murky.
I’m sure there is.
The gun club thing is sus as.
But that soccer club were only targeted because scomo was photographed there for the opening .

People in here bagged the club out.
Yet couldn’t name one single more deserving club.

Imagine how the people who have devoted all those years to the club felt when the media made it look like they didn’t deserve it.

What a bunch of miserable merkins.
