I haven't read any articles about it being housed in FNQ. The couple I have read say the players will be housed in a complex in PNG.

Haven't read any new articles tbh but Albo and co were talking Carins early on. That may have changed.

 

[raskolnikov]

Is the plan that the players are exclusively from PNG?

They would get belted every week.

 

[Vander18]

They would get belted every week.

Yeah, wouldn’t have thought it was an option.

But the context was if they are based in FNQ and funded by our dollars….how exactly are they a PNG team? You've since clarified that are to be based in PNG.

If they call the team the PNG Borderline Racists I think they’ll have a lot of support from australians who would identify with them strongly

I'm not racist I hate everyone equally /s

Says a lot about Perf then.

It says most of us aren't interested in throwball.

NSW is full of idiots

And Victorians elected Dan Andrews several times

Is it sculptured in Teflon ?

It’s currently soaking in the tears of Herald Sun editors to develop an elegant patina

Who was a very good premier if you happen to live in Metro Melbourne or ignore how his government handled hotel quarantine during the pandemic.

FTFY

 

[boncer34]

FTFY

I certainly enjoyed being locked down because there were covid cases 200km+ away.

Nah. I never said he was perfect but how many election promises did he break? Infrastructure wise he's set up ambitious but needed upgrades to transport.

In ten years time his record will speak for itself.

Where?

 

[eth-dog]

Where?

Mostly within Melbourne

 

[TheGrizz]

You mean other than promises about the SEC and hosting the common wealth games (a key promise in his regional campaign)?
I mean that only cost us $2bn to back out of, so no biggie.

Yeah its great if you live in inner Melbourne except that's its overdue, projected to go $55bn over budget currently and wracked with controversy with the CFMEU?

Ambitious is one word for it.

In ten years time his record will speak for itself.

Yep, we are in $50bn more debt than any other Australian state (130bn) in total. I have no doubt the effects of his time as premier will be accutely felt in 10 years, probably much longer.

Ah.

SEC is advertising for a number of job vacancies atm. Crucial Infrastructure costs money and we had the lockdowns to save people’s lives

Okay, you disagree with me. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that decision abandoned when Allen took over?

I think he was a very good premier. He had his flaws. Find me a Premier who's record is perfect?

Purely out of interest.

If the covid outbreak had been localised to Mildura do you think Melbourne would've been locked down?

Yes. She is going to get the blame.

Very clever by Dan to bail before it blew up.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Dan was pretty good. Not perfect and the people who still stan for him are ****ed in the head but the alternative was Matthew Guy and his merry band of culture warriors so it’s no surprise Dan was able to romp it in

Regional infrastructure still sucks but there’s nothing to be gained electorally for either party because folk out here vote Nats regardless so why would anyone spend money here that could go to pork barrelling some marginal seats

 

[TheGrizz]

Okay, you disagree with me. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't that decision abandoned when Allen took over?

So....they broke the promise?

'No one is perfect' is a cop out.

We should expect more from our politicians than that, and I don't know when we just accepted the medium and long term economic future of us and our kids being thrown to the wall cause a guy had 'flaws'.
