    It's not a commitment. He says "it's needed", but doesn't say he'll provide one. He says he'll "look at it". Doesn't even venture into "non-core promise" territory.
    (Why do I feel my bile rising whenever that phrase is used?)

    Well Done FA. What is the stadium at Mt Claremont that Barnett reffered to?

    (I'm with Kathy from Kardinya on her question about shopping hours)

    Thats the new RugbyWa headquarters. I suspect they wanted this to get started before they got too vocal on a stadium as the headquarters is an about $16m deal.

    Yes - there is something odd about that too. If i've remembered right today's game is about the last time we will see RugbyWa Park - no sign of the new facility - I reckon that the force are homeless for the next year - albeit there will be some temporary arrangements.

    go forceaddcit! if only you got a vote ...

    i dont like the 'it is needed'
    i want a 'YES WE WILL GET A RECTANGLE!'

    but he has promised to sit down with rugby and soccer, so there is hope... not enough though.

    I know that the arguement to allow people to vote at 16 pops up every now and again, shame it isnt around at the moment.

    You can be working a Full Time job at 16, you could be in the Army serving overseas at 17 and still have no say
