@Gorgritch_umie_killa This is the one that used to be Mercy Hospital yeah?
Yeah, thats the one, right by the river. Some of the rooms must have insanely good views.
Buying a hospital seems much better than a convention centre face lift.
It really does, that convention centre is fairly new, and has already cost a fuck-ton from the subsidence, due to it being built on what used to be the swan river. Leave it alone.
We have to move on with other parts of the city, if they can't attract enough conventions/events for a place that big then i'd not be convinced some revamp is gona materially and help their situation. I'd be looking at the business model they're trying to run with that venue.
Today's West is trying to make out this is somehow a bad thing...
Iโm not shocked anymore.
This is a much better use of 1.5 BILLION dollars than making a glorified shed look fancy.
Bah, link doesn't work. But I can imagine their screeching.
I went to see if it was on the homepage, instantly saw toxic ANZAC worship (not saying respect for the ANZAC tradition is bad, just that particular brand of Stokes/Abbott ANZAC worship), then the typical article wheeling out the tired old line 'government shit, business best'.
Same shit, different decade from that rag then, the journalists there must live in such a warped reality.
