The usual hollowers ae out there again,
footy gets more money,
this gets more
that gets more.
Yep, it is a pain, but look at it this way:
football stdium used every fotnight, 30k bums on seats, 10% of each ticket back to govt:
catering/refreshments every fortnight , 10%back to govt
local sports every weekend, gst back to govt.(12 years with junior afl, seem some nice little balances from weekend games)
so, yes that may put more there, but they get a hell of lot back.
Motorpsort, once a year, what ever the gov puts in, gets S######## back, but only once a year, just like the Golf Open, the Tennis Open etc,
so for one of events, dont complain , plus all the taxes from the casuals pay, plus indiect income from everything else, its not a bad ivestment, just that not everyone likes motosport. so do you want govts to be loose with your tax dollars, or take a sensible approach, create an event to attrack more people to spend more money.
Gotta love capitalism
