comment@whoar:..some thoughts on that stinker of a casino/pokie deal..and two solutions to the whole quagmire..

the shocker fact of all this..is that the pub-pokies return 37% of revenue to the community..(far too geared to bloke-sports-teams..but that’s another story..)

..whereas sky returns 2.5%..

..(that figure again..?..2.5%..)

..2nd shocker fact is that joyce..as minister in charge of this clusterfuck of the rest of us..

..didn’t know that fact…

..do we have any recent examples of more eyewatering incompetence..?

..3rf shocker fact is that those machines will make sky city an extra $42 million per yr..

..(that’s $42 million per yr sucked out of our community/city..all heading away off-shore in profit-taking..)

..so that means the convention centre will be paid for in five short years for sky..

..from then on in it will all be cream..

4th shocker fact is that sky have given joyce a list of further demands..

..lessening the few restrictions that there are on this vampire-sucking-beast…

..surely opposition to this stinker of a deal will be trans-ideological..?

..conversely..someone from the right could try to defend this howling incompetence by joyce/key..and this stinker of a deal..

..this deal was done on the back of a cocktail-napkin..

..with joyce/key now scrambling to fill in the blank spaces…

..this at the behest/direction of sky…

..two solutions to rectify this and the mistakes from the past..?

1)..either leave the top-end casino…and ban pokies everywhere..

or..

2)..nationalise the whole casino-industry…

..pay off the current operators for the buildings etc..

..and then send them packing…

..then if they want..they can still have their convention-centre…

..funded the same way…

..and all the cream..100%..

..able to be plowed back into our community..

..what’s not to love about that..?
