Private investment for Hobart Stadium

[Devils2028]

I'm interested to know if people believe the new Hobart stadium will attract Private Investors to help finance it. The government have long said they have big interest but they are yet to reveal any names to this day. Many opposed have said this is because they don't really have interest at all and that they have been scared off by the poor cost benefit ratio.

PPPs are very popular nowadays so possible .

I'm just talking private investors paying part of the cost in a public private partnership like was the case with optus stadium.

when ever private companies are involved , there is an extra cost
they want their pound of flesh & have share holders who want a return .... & tax payers pay it in the end

if govts can't afford to build stadiums
they shouldn't be built

Yes, that’s becoming a popular model. Optus and a couple of others have been along this line and seem to have done well, and I suspect the new AFL stadium in Brisbane at Victoria Park may follow a similar path. So could be something that happens - will at least be given some thought.

And tax payers are paying more when these investors are involved & do so for decades... and they don't even know it
Govts quietly forget to disclose these extra costs , they hide them

oh oh
Private investors will assist or in some cases build the whole thing , oh & ..sssshhhhhh..you'll pay em ya dumb fucks

utterly corrupt
