I have private health and it was brainwashed into me by my parents. Glad my wife and I have it. With both us having surgery and when little one was born we spent the week in the hospital as wife had some issues after and I was able to stay the whole time which helps the wife a lot. Compared to other people who had kids that left after a day either being pushed out or couldn't handle being by themselves and in rooms with other newborns. We had our own room, could order free meals all day, had access to a stocked fridge, microwave etc. private health has its benefits.
I said that advice forgetting the stupid face recognition now needed to access that content haha. Imagine if you had nose surgery, could have access at all.
Kendoza, and as we know when companies know its tax funded money they increase the costs of everything....the $$$ thrown at this is a scam; i get we don't want China on our doorstep but seriously throwing $600 million at this; it could end in tears.
Mitchy, an easy way to get $600 million is simply to claw back at least 1.5% of the $40 billion per annum foregone revenue due to giving gas away to foreign multinationals. That is, just make royalties on gas 1.5% more efficient.
Problem solved!
Or . . . cancel just one submarine from the terminally ridiculous $368 billion out to 2050 we are going to spend on nuclear submarines (obsolete before we get them). That's just one sub at $8 billion and we could fund the football teams from every island in the Asia-Pacific!
I tend to agree Prof Daz; and also maybe just ask Mr Chalmers to cut govt spending which is contributing to inflation; there you go Daz we can solve it; and maybe cut the immigration firstly, and then focus on skilled workers (means less on welfare / medicare etc); NDIS and also the debt free student loans. You and I can sort it. NDIS has been rorted as seen here in NSW and Vic.
Agree it will be 'dad's army' roster, just like when Gold Coast came into the comp. I guess they're hoping by the 10th year, there will be some PNG players ready to step into NRL. Those 8-10 year olds now aspiring to one day play NRL. Its a real possibility given it is their national sport, unlike Melbourne who after all these years and all their successes, have fck all juniors come through. Perth will be the same as Melbourne. I'd rather a second NZ team over Perth.
I wonder if they could get a Farnworth or Walsh? At this stage they are getting players on back-end of their careers. Since they are announced now in the end of prime it looks good at the moment.
The issue of comparing Melbourne with Perth is Melbourne set their back room staff up so well and had the advantage of the Western Reds and Hunter Mariners folding therefore a big collection of players looking for contracts.
The government of the day (regardless of the side) won't rip this up - it'll run the course for the 10 years now. Unless you're Trump diplomatic agreements run to term, regardless of governments changing. This is 100% locked in.
"The first thing the PNG team did before anything else was pinch Joey Grima from us. He's a development pathways expert and has been with them since 2023."
"I believe I heard that the PNG PM wanted at least 30-40% of the squad to be PNG players. Could be wrong but that was a big thing he asked for and it makes sense."

Who's paying the tax? If it's government, then that only needs a change of government to change the tax-free status.
The government of the day (regardless of the side) won't rip this up - it'll run the course for the 10 years now. Unless you're Trump diplomatic agreements run to term, regardless of governments changing. This is 100% locked in.
But after 10 years, if a new government, then we will see what happens.
