its not just about this though, QLD is also chasing the entire finals series, the brownlow, and the whole of the spring carnival, and WA/SA are both after the boxing day test
If the Vic Govt roll over on the compo issue for the GF, they will get SFA on the rest that the states are looking to loot
You say trying to loot I say trying to help out because Victoria can’t host with crowds. These are all locked in Victorians events, no one is trying to take it off them long term and nor should they. But if you want some help so your event gets played with crowds it is possible other states could help out this year. I don’t think any state is going to hand over huge money for any of them. It really is Victoria’s issue and in the overall scheme of things simply not that important and a very hard sell to the tax payer to cough up huge money.
