Tasmanians got fucked hard by the AFL and complicit politicians today. Apparently a whistleblower has just revealed that the AFL is looking to pull out of managing People First Stadium on the Gold Coast because it’s too hard to operate in the black & we are going to be taking on 100% of the operational risk of this abortion of a project.
If people didn’t want this shit horror they could have voted Green at the last election, I know I did. Alas…
Did what I could between Peter George and Rosalie Woodruff, but Dean Winter still got back in as did vice chairman Abetz.
As a state though we did the Australian Signature move of voting against our best interests. We aren’t quite as polarised as the US yet but I see people whinging about Leftists with disturbing regularity.
Plus the whole way through this stadium crap they have been calling anyone with even basic questions about the process an “Anti”. I always wanted to reply with Anti-Corruption, Anti-Crime, Anti-Bankruptcy. But most of those mouth breathers wouldn’t appreciate that sort of nuanced position.

Ahhhh, socialising the risk and privatising the profits, a tale as old as neoliberalism

I especially like how we are bending over and taking it from a Non-Profit so they can make more money.
