1354903 2013-10-04 08:06:00 I often wonder why it is, that Australia with all it's huge natural wealth, why all are not living in the laps of luxury.

It has be going somewhere, probably going to the likes of that rich OZ woman and her ilk.( Gina something?)

Similar government to NZ......

Used the money to buy votes or to grease the wheels of their buddies.

It looks like not only did we build Larry's boat
We also did most of the software for it that helped him win the cup
This article is well worth a read.

1354907 2013-10-07 07:20:00 Lets say this campaign cost us $100million and the govt paid $36million. That means $64 million came from sponsors. It looks like mostly overseas sponsors. So $64million new money mostly spent in NZ or paid to NZers (since our whole team seems to be from here). So obviously rounded figures etc but $100 million spent mostly in NZ $15million in GST alone, let alone pAYE, business tax from all the companies involved etc. I read somewhere the money was recouped before the Americas cup even started Drjen (17165)
