Australian Politics Forum - Worst use of taxpayer funds ever

I hope that somehow, when he becomes PM next year, Dutton can axe this deal and get our money back. https://www.news.com.au/sport/nrl/nrl-deliver-historic-papua-new-guinea-announce...

I agree $600 million to kick a piece of leather around a field
when there are so many more worthwhile issues in this world:
clean water, safe sewage, good food, proper housing, hospitals, schools,
roads, electricity connection etc.

Albanese worked this one out on the back of a beer coaster.
he's unfit to hold office - he's gotta go.
What's more it's paid for with borrowed money -
we're $1.2 trillion in debt and we pay the interest by printing money
which causes inflation.

I know - an agreement not to let China make any military deals -

but it could have been for a more worthwhile issue to help those in PNG. Roll Eyes

the deal with PNG is great for Oz ... so whats your gripe? you haven't shown the misuse

Would've been better spent on a security pact, such as training PNG Police or their defence force or providing them with better equipment for law enforcement or defence, not a football team.

So that they can protect their people, do their jobs, share our values instead of communism.

how does funding their footy team equate to communism you moron?
Cheesy

we can't compete with China with money. They'll just print it as they need it and offer more then Oz, not matter how much we throw at them.

We need to win the Papua New Guineans publics hearts, that way their politicians will be less inclined to sell us out to china ... footy is a great way to achieve that goal. Brothers on the sports fields are often brothers for life, even those on opposing teams.

nothing wrong with increasing our footy teams goober. If it helps our international relations then thats even better.

You liberal stooges are the ones that want to pull aid, then cry when china buys the governments you've pulled the aid from. You can't have it both ways you dumbarse. Cheesy
