Brace for the Alberton Resident's Action Group to halt redevelopment by glueing themselves to gum trees on the PAFC precinct with Superglue, and tying their poor dogs to the bulldozers.


Too late...

ScoMo finally puts out a media release. Boxx the bit below confirms its guaranteed $$$ not a promise.



“Our $15 million investment will support Port Adelaide’s plans to redevelop Alberton Oval into a multi-use high performance and community sport precinct.

“Importantly, our investment will ensure Alberton Oval will be match fit when Port Adelaide’s AFLW team debuts in 2022, with broadcast quality lighting to shine a deserved spotlight on women’s sport.”

South Australian Senator and Finance Minister Simon Birmingham said this investment would kick goals for the local community, particularly women’s football from the grassroots to the elite level.

“As a South Australian and avid footy fan, I am incredibly proud that from next year our state will have two AFLW teams in the national competition,” Minister Birmingham said.

We are making sure that Port Adelaide has the best possible facilities to take the competition by storm and inspire more girls and women across SA to have a crack at footy.
 
ScoMo was on the 7 News service tonight. Was it a Port strategy to delay it 24 hours, so that we had clean air, no talk of 2nd night draftees and rookies drafted on Friday on tonight's news service??

Nice tie ScoMo. If the teal blue was a touch lighter it could pass for a Sharkie's tie.


looks like they are covering up what the new deck in the Quinn stand will look like.

2nd bite of the cherry for the government. Birmo came and had his say today - given he is the most senior SA government member and Minister for Finance and helped drive this thru Canberra - he has the right to do so.

Isn't Birmingham the one that green lit the $$ to the Crows a few years ago?
I'm pretty sure he's connected to the Crows in some way.

Yes and yes is a fan rather than anything official.

His twitter account profile says - Leader of the Government in the Senate. Senator for South Australia. Minister for Finance. Proud Dad. Frustrated Crows fan.

When he was minister for trade, he publicly got right behind our China strategy. Pretty sure Andrew Hunter worked with him on it.
 
Birmo got his 15 seconds on the ABC news tonight in the sports section and they talked a bit about the development.

Richo said they expect to appoint an AFLW coach early in the new year and will be a woman.
