I dont mind the ask, I think its an important piece of the puzzle. What is a problem is it is seemingly all ask with no give. And for politicians in an AFL state trying to champion a 'foreign' sport it needed to be handled with kid gloves, sadly that is not Vlandys way.
Like I said announce the license granted with WA govt and NRL contributions
In 6 months announce an upgrade to HBF park alongside the 3 sports who will benefit. Use the Int soccer events Perth is hosting as justification for why its needed for future.
It was interesting choice of words by Rita, "no plans for immediate upgrade"
