                  • Your right mate it is political. Albo only did this to make sure china didn't come in. It will be interesting if the deal sticks if albo loses the election. V'landys has created a shit storm with this tax free money and tpa's. Most fans are asleep at the wheel but mark my words v'landys and abdo are rotten to the core they will destroy the game. 

                    • What do you mean will, they already have.

                    • $600 million to prevent China's Belt & Road initiative parking warships in PNG ports on 50 year deals is a frakkin bargain. 

                      Also, if we are talking "Albo gave PNG $600 million", well guess how much money ScoMo gave PNG in 2018-2022? A hint: one port cost the same as Albo's fund and then multiple by 4 to total the other funds. Oh and how much had Australia invested in gold mining and gas in PNG up to 2018? Hint: multiple Albo's fund by about 100

                      My point is obviously don't trust the fucking media to tell you all the relevant facts

                    • Actually you are right Daz, the visionaries on here have no understanding how cheap (good) a deal this is in a big picture sense for the Government, regardless of colour or same..

                      The game will look after itself from say Albo's point of view, all he cares about is that he has limited China and added to our relationship with PNG.

                      The NRL are doing what they need to do to take advantage of Internationalising the game with this deal. How they go about it is beyond the thinking of most on here. i.e. Most could not manage a transfer of a paper bag in a parking lot!

                      The fact that Tax free incentives have been offered for employment considerations has been going on with PNG for in execess of 60/70 years. Why do you think anyone goes there?

                      The naive on here that cannot understand that, are the equivalents of no vision that any form of management takes on in their eyes. How come these guys are titled, educated and influenced and the rest of us do our management through social media.....arguably having never managed anything properly in their lives. 

                      The reality is again that many on here (people) are "absolute" without any real understanding of how the commercial undertakings are managed.

                      We have an idiot's like Mallee telling us all these happenings and what they are really thinking and he could not justify one point with a fact. If Malee has a brain it has only exposed itself in a way that Mallee alone sees as the infilitrator that he is from another club's social media site!..... I am not the only one that has seen through this. Many other members on here have implied the same. Btw the evidence in this case is on his site profile and the commentary, and how you he used same the undermine and ingratiate the various negative views. Just read his posts and it falls out in front of you.

                      This whole "blog" suffers from the "poor me" mentality of most of the posters.

                      Disagree with anything that is being spoken by all means, but do so with the aknowledgement that you really don't know.

                      Phrase your critique in this manner and you make yourself credible, talking about  who the biggest corrupter and shit stirrer will never work in the real world.......Wakey Wakey hands of Snakey....because that is what you are mostly i.e. low level hipocrites.

                    • Question Poppa, how long did that take you to write with your shoulder?

                    •  i did  that with my left hand, one letter at a time

                      probably 15 minutes, i always compose what i am saying and keep on review it.

                      the subject of our critics on here and their lack of commercialty is always a pet hate of mine.

                      i am also terribly bored, feel useless!

                    • Take it easy Poppa, hope your left hand can keep you occupied other ways haha 

                    • Pops, what have you done to yourself? Hope you are on the mend?

                      Haha... LB, hopefully Pops is ambidextrous.

                • 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!
