You're like some munted sloth that rolls around and picks up opinions by osmosis, digests them and throws them up on a keyboard.
What the hell are you talking about? I suggested to you that we have enough money to deliver stadium upgrades, just like Queensland are doing and they are in worse budgetary shape than we are.
Like I said move to WA if you think we have no money to build stadiums. The reality is very different and will be into the future.
You will quote actual costs, I will quote an absolute need for the construction of the stadiums.
At the end of the day we are not going to agree on the final outcome. The reality is that WA needs to upgrade the venues and people on their armchairs who never have to go to the venues in question can state economic cost benefits, more money coming into government coffers by other social costs.
But if the government wasn't populist, there are outcomes that could see the venue operating at more than a 2 million dollar profit a year.
Look at the annual statements of Westpac Stadium Trust. It declares revenues from car parks as critical to their bottom line, tenant payments. If the WA Government enacted a hard line stance and forced the WAFC to move into a new ground (which they can do via legislation) put the Force, all international matches at the venue. You would operate the venue on a profit like the Caketin...
Thus in the long run there is a return of cost to the taxpayer. Thus meeting your argument in regards to the cost benefit in delivering funds for stadium infrastructure.
Yob your voice will have more credit if you actually visit the venues and then say you think there is not an urgent need to upgrade the two sh*t holes. At the moment you are sprouting economic cost models (which you are allowed to do) but you haven't actually seen the neglect and the strong desire to upgrade.
