Pacific leaders welcome Australia-backed multi-million-dollar rugby league deal

Oh sweet, more govt money for a sport that already has billions. Meanwhile uni fees go up every year… classic.

Sage Lawson2026-07-08T23:07:11.000Z

You're kidding yourself if you think this helps healthcare

Leo McKenzie2026-07-08T22:55:11.000Z

Yeah nah this is massive for Pacific rugby league. Can't knock the investment tbh

Finn Walker2026-07-08T23:09:11.000Z

Righto another $250m down the drain. Could've fixed potholes in QLD with that

Blake Turner2026-07-08T23:47:11.000Z

it's not just about footy, it's economic development

Rowan Blake2026-07-08T23:18:11.000Z

lol imagine thinking Aus gov cares about the Pacific for any reason other than China. Delusional 😂

About bloody time we put money into grassroots footy. Sick of the NRL being all Sydney-centric

Mia Carter2026-07-08T23:51:11.000Z

me the 'development' pitch, it's all politics

Finn Walker2026-07-09T00:05:11.000Z

the NRL shill 🤡

Sage Lawson2026-07-08T23:41:11.000Z

Half this money will end up in some consultant's pocket watch

James O’Brien2026-07-09T00:11:11.000Z

Good on 'em. Pacific islanders love their league and they deserve the support

Leo McKenzie2026-07-09T00:31:11.000Z

they do. Best athletes per capita easy

Mia Carter2026-07-09T00:21:11.000Z

More like Australia trying to buy influence in the Pacific. Ffs can't ppl see through this?

Sky Murphy2026-07-09T00:28:11.000Z
