Ya have to distribute the ammenities througout your city in order for it to grow.

 

With no places for people to go and do things, crime grows and people get unhappy. then they move away from the city.

 

might be the same sort of principle around the football stadium.

 

Least it will get used right away and not left vacant until some time in the future when it might be needed.

It's a hospital for children she mentioned, not a cube roll. 

Don't you think the needs of sick children should take priority? Is it not worth spending a bit more now to save spending multiple times the amount a couple of years down the track after children may have died because the new hospital was inadequate?

I bet you're pleased someone didn't compare your child's needs to a portion of a cube roll.

OMG - did you miss the point on purpose?

They can only afford what they've got the money for, other wise they have to borrow the money and go into debt!

I know it's a tricky concept for a labor supporter to grasp, but regardless of whether you're a govrnment or an individual consumer, you have to live within your budget!

For the sake of building an adequate hospital it is probably better to borrow than have to pay three times as much later.  Then again they could pay for the hospital and sell lottery tickets to fund the footy stadium to avoid avoid having to borrow more than they will be already.

Do you save up and pay cash for a house or borrow?

I know it's a tricky concept for a labor supporter to grasp, but regardless of whether you're a govrnment or an individual consumer, you have to live within your budget!

And whether you are a Labour or Liberal Premier you have to know HOW to budget - and that entails weighing the cost of grandiose schemes that will mainly benefit your business mates (the stadium is being built alongside James Packer's Casino) against the medium to long term needs of sick children.
