- 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?”
Forensic audits and investigations into who owns our politicians is desperately needed
The Israel v Gaza war sure has cleared this up for a lot of people.
Ringland. App
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 😥
My response. Albo. If you are not fired, I am disappointed.

This Labor government clearly doesn't care about Australian's doing it tough wasn't he supposed to fix the cost of living crisis... perthect.. One term government enough of the Labor virtue signalling..
gotta wake up mate pollies r not who they say they r its all caving in soon anyway
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.!!
The NRL and AFL Yes support was tied to the many federal grants the various leagues and clubs were given for the multitude of stadiums upgrades, new training and administrative headquarters built over recent years.
@@PjRjHj Why did any of that require supporting the Yes campaign? Those were our tax monies designed to foster sport for recreation in the community.
Are you suggesting that the Federal government was going to withdraw all grants to the NRL unless it supported Yes?
@@mikem9001 certainly not all funding, but I firmly believe support "Yes" was tied to such things as the federal contribution to a new Hobart stadium
@@PjRjHj Okay... makes sense. Thank you.
more flow into the nrl accounts lol they need a boost ta fight the afl influences inthe south afl is winning bcos more fans then us make nrl gr8 again (:
How about building houses for the growing number of homeless families dirt bag politicians?
So what, 50 million per player?
jus call him bro he'll get u a free pass& shout the whole pub lol
Are they Serious !
Bloody stupidly RIDICULOUS !!! Charity begins at home.
The papa New Guinea team can be calling the the fuzzy wuzzies
Oh my Prognosis!
That will set the lefties off!
😂🤣
I wonder what the name of the new team will be:
Union warriors
Progressives
Green soldiers
Pacific sailors
Northern .......
🐏🇦🇺
Fuzzy fuzzy Albo’s.
More money to "mates"
Maybe a hospital or the like would be a better investment.
Wtf?
What they need to pay for is a mental hospital. Mental illness in this country is a real thing that nobody wants to talk about.
True, though, will need some kind of vetting, lest every bludger claims to have something for the free $$$.... Happened with the NDIS, (since Labor is incompetent and cannot manage things properly... like Krudds pink batts scheme, which got people killed).
Tut-Tut!!! To the woke mob, talk of Mental hospitals is verboten!
This Labor government is giving us mental health problems
@@user-mm5ot2tc4l lol dont go them docs
thats not gunnar happen everything is caving in anyway
We all need to vote more carefully people the waste is too great
Defending our region with football teams, YUP.
lol and winning peoples minds for the allied forces work inthe ww2 bac inthe day cobber
make nrl gr8 again (:
Nrl got millions recently to send indigenous players out to unruly towns now a 600 million deal
A PNG team, being constantly thrashed by cricket level scores would actually be a weekly embarrassment to their country. There is no way they could field a competitive team of locals. And what big name Australian or Islander player is going to relocate to Port Moresby when far better options are available in Australia.
The whole thing, beside being a total waste of money, is just a really STUPID idea.
Political.
@@user-mm5ot2tc4l I actually and honestly can't see any benefit to anyone, no matter what level I try and look at it from. Just seems the next stupid idea from Albanese.
Inject some money into PNG to make it a stronger local comp, maybe. But a team to compete in the NRL, ridiculous.
lol png play for the love of the game not for $$ and high bracket pay check while rest of oz fans struggle in life
This taxman is absolutely right
"Idiot"?... You're being far too kind, Paul.
Albo worst PM by far!!
That's less than what you have stolen from native Melanesians and Aborigines resources.
You bet on it not stopping with PNG
This is an Aussie competition, I don’t want them. If PNG get in I’ll give up on league.
Paul Murray, you just nailed it.
Australians worried about the 600 million 😂. It's nothing compared to what they've benefited from PNG's Resources.
Indeed. They robbed our resources big time. Nothing compared to 600 million dollars
😮 😡🤬
has australian gov asked for the receipts of 500million off tax payers funds it gave to pngs the manus detention centre one person in png has most of it lol everytime they attempt to start investigations they are always being hurdles put in slow investigations
500mill. in png kina is worth over a 100 million kina did you know 🤣
Meanwhile CCP builds up military might.
Just for the deplometic tie between Aussie n png why not Aussie government push for png nrl team and China government sponsor the team.... Ye that should sum it up... Friends to all enemies to none.... Just my opinion/humor... definitely the taxt payer should to have a say in this matter...
Wont happen. Pullachook is toast 👈
F pinga
Isn’t PNG mineral rich?
yup back then it was when png was a territory of oz pre ww2 the reaping and plundering of the resourses gold time minerals fisheries all the profit went to oz tadays value billions hardly any cents put back just inta png lol
wtf
im all for PNG getting an NRL team but not at the expense of Australian taxpayers money that money should be if going to PNG for aid should be for education or electricity or clean water projects
good point but make nrl great again lol

$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
$600mill. sounds way over cant be that figure where'd ya get that from hearing all sorts of amount but 600mill??
@@dusmangi from the title of the video
Agree money wasted on referendum. But whats wrong with supporting rugby through the Pacific? It’s a religion there. Something we all have in common that China can’t ever give them,or compete with, or take away. Best move ever✊
Nah... Maybe after the cost of living and inflation is sorted
Oh ffs.
May as well make it an even 1 billion wasted voice included.
The Australian government must rethink the decision
We need to look after our neighbours the Solomon Islands incident has proven that fact
Then build a fckn hospital or a school or a fckn Rd or any other infrastructure but 600mil for a fckn nrl team what a fckn joke 🍺🇦🇺
F-ck the Solomons they wanna hang out with China !! That should exclude them from having any teams in our domestic competitions. If you wanna side with China there has to be consequences.
pre world ww2 till 75 png was a territory of oz
till then oz was reaping the resourses gold copper timber fisheries ect result u see bougainville revolt why bcoz oz put in peanuts 10+ yrs of war on bougainville 1000s died oz sent choppers to help fight bloody rio tinto and others assets wich belong to the islanders
no tax payers of oz is complaining about the their taxes fair enough also mate the refugees situation in manus island was a yuuge black hole for oz tax payers yep $500 mill handout to oneal gov ask that fukwitt weres the rest of the loot went ask oz security to investigate cobber im a png islander grew up in tassie for nearly 30yrs now im pissed off too matey
id add also afl has dominated oz sports we want to expand our game and dominate the sports also make nrl the national sport in oz great again cobber
