Pvl saw that the Tasmanian govt is paying 12 million pa to cover the losses of the afl team for ten years plus hundreds of millions on stadia

He saw the W.A. govt pay 1 million a game for Melbourne afl sides to play games there

So using those benchmarks he demanded W.A. invest 12 million x ten years into league like tassie is doing for afl

If you take out the stadium funding the W.A. govt was actually spending very little directly on rugby league before Pvl asked for something decent

and the WA govt rightly pointed out that AFL was also pumping in $150million to Tassie and said they would match whatever NRL put in for grassroots. Fair does.

Its actually going to be somewhere in the region of $65million without the stadium, hardly small change in an AFL state and by far the biggest state Govt investment in the game outside NSW and Qlnd.
And once again the stadium spend will onlyhappen to give the NRL club the best chance of success. So it is directly tied to there being a license granted and part of the investment in achieving that.

As Packer said "you only get 1 Bond in your life". With PVL he only gets 1 Albo.

THE AFL has pledged to spend $360 million on a Tasmanian team, noting approval for a 19th licence is contingent on funding being secured for a new stadium.

The money, to be spent over a decade, includes more than $90 million in game development and $33 million to develop young players in three new "talent academies".

AFL chief Gillon McLachlan said $210 million would be rolled out for a new club over a decade to cover "base funding", including specialist list establishment.

He said the League would also chip in at least $15 million towards a proposed new stadium in Hobart – a figure the AFL had already committed.

Funding TWO stadiums in Tasmania when both are currently in perfect condition is the biggest waste of tax payers money since the submarine deal

If the afl had asked for them to be gold plated the Tasmanian govt would’ve bent over and done it

I just assumed the Bears were pushing to get partnered with the new Tassie AFL team as well.

It's PVL's fallback option in case WA doesn't eventuate.
