  • Sky News host Paul Murray has criticised the Labor government’s plan to spend $600 million on a NRL team in Papua New Guinea.
    “Oh it’s all of course about making sure China doesn’t make further pushes into the Pacific Region - rubbish,” Mr Murray said.
    “It’s about guaranteeing that the NRL ends up with another team which means … more games, more money for their television rights.”
    He said this means Australian taxpayers will end up paying for “another” football team.
    “Now if we were talking about a hospital, if we were talking about infrastructure that would mean that when Papua New Guinea gets itself into trouble they would not turn to China, they would turn to us - that’s one thing.
    “But a football team?”

    This is sick. There are so many homeless living in the streets in parks in cars and tents. Australian children go to school who had no breakfast and without lunch boxes. This money could be used for school lunch.

      We don't need the money for that
      .lol we just need a NON GREEDY politician to fix that...
      Qatar sell same amount of natural gas as we do right. ...so why do they make $73billion dollars a yr and we Aussies under fabulous leadership make $2billion ! Thats right ✅ both sides of Australian politics are wholly owned by mining industry. So next time u get upset about money 💰 ask our own government owe come they can't do maths like the rest of the world
      ..or are they just more interested in money for there parties. We are lead by crooks son ....both sides all owned. Sad 😥

    So it cost the Australian taxpayer $600.000.000 to get the NRL to sign up to the YES campaign for the voice.😮 Albanese and the NRL board are totally out of touch with everyday Australians.!!

      Are you suggesting that the Federal government was going to withdraw all grants to the NRL unless it supported Yes?

    A PNG team, being constantly thrashed by cricket level scores would actually be a weekly embarrassment to their country. There is no way they could field a competitive team of locals. And what big name Australian or Islander player is going to relocate to Port Moresby when far better options are available in Australia.
    The whole thing, beside being a total waste of money, is just a really STUPID idea.

    $600 million from the tax payer, while Perth still can't get a team 26 years after The Reds were culled for Melbourne.
    It hasn't cost the Aus and NZ governments anywhere near that amount to subsidise Super Rugby's Fijian Drua, and Moana Pasifika.
    Australia, New Zealand, and China have already been engaging in Stadium diplomacy in the region. One has to wonder how deep that really matters compared to funding critical infrastructure in Pacific
