A petition is a legally recognisable document. Dont be so shortsighted in your assumptions. It only takes 10 000 signatures for government to discuss a petition in Parliament. Another misinformed contribution.

I'll clarify. I've signed the petition. Everyone who agrees with it should sign the petition.

We need to do more. This is just a starting point

I have signed the petition. A mate of mine who is not on GAGR also emailed me a link to the petition.

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!

Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?

STRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!!!

Maybe..........


The prospect of strike action has reared its head as Australia's professional rugby players step up their campaign to save the code's national footprint.

Fairfax Media can reveal the Rugby Union Players' Association is considering strike action early next year if the Australian Rugby Union agrees to cut one of its five Super Rugby teams under a competition review expected to be announced early next week.

I have looked through every article i can find on the Rebels sale. Your point that the the Rebels get $6million and the other franchises get significantly more does not line up. The only thing i could find is that each club receives $6million up from $4.5 million when the broad cast agreement was boosted.

While the Rebels might receive an additional $900,000 from the ARU in the initial year of the arrangement, the deal peters out so dramatically that in year five, the Melbourne club will receive only .

This is a snippet from a paywalled article from the Australian dated April 1 2016 titled ARU funds new Rebels owner to stay afloat.


Then theres this article confirming the Rebels will receive an additional $6 million over the 1st 5 years of the private ownership deal.
http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Global/Issues/2016/04/01/Franchises/Melbourne-Rebels.aspx

So the real figure is the Rebels will receive $12 million in support while the other franchises receive $6 million from the broadcast deal.

Glad you saved me the effort of searching for an article that confirms what I have been saying. That article confirms the $8.5m for the other franchises. I have no idea how you managed to double the other $6m.

Australian Rugby Union Funding Melbourne Rebels' Owner To Keep Club Afloat

Published April 1, 2016​

The Australian Rugby Union has given the Melbourne Rebels’ private Owner, Andrew Cox, financial support worth more than A$6M ($4.6M) "for five years to stop the bleeding from a club" that has cost the game between A$15M ($11.5M) and $20M ($15.3M) since its inception, according to Wayne Smith of the THE AUSTRALIAN. Because the deal is front-end loaded, it is understood the Rebels are being paid A$2.6M ($2M) for '16, "the initial year of the deal, but that payments are reduced considerably in value over the remaining four years." The other four Australian Super Rugby clubs -- the Waratahs, Brumbies, Queensland Reds and Western Force -- are allocated A$1.7M ($1.3M) a year for the five-year term of December’s A$285M ($218.5M) broadcast agreement with Fox and Ten, rising by A$50,000 ($38,337) a year. The Rebels "also receive any additional money the ARU periodically gives the clubs," such as the A$50,000 they each received to help with marketing. While the Rebels might receive an additional A$900,000 ($690,000) from the ARU in the initial year of the arrangement, "the deal peters out so dramatically that in year five," the Melbourne club will receive only A$100,000 ($76,675). The benefit for the ARU is that "it is now not faced with propping up a club that, on average, was losing" $3.5M ($2.7M) a season. Cox has "insisted the deal with the ARU was entirely proper and transparent." ARU CEO Bill Pulver said that it was in the ARU's interest for "Cox to succeed and prove that private ownership worked in Australia." Pulver: "The funding arrangement expires after five years and Cox will get what every other Super Rugby club gets. But we chose to go with him because he has a proven record of turning distressed businesses around. We desperately want him to be a success. He can become a role model for other entrepreneurs" (THE AUSTRALIAN,





There is the whole arcticle i put the link for. Where is the figure of $8.5 million from? The article quite clearly states the Rebels will receive an additional $6million on top of what the clubs receive from the broadcast deal. Even acounting for the proposed $50 000 a year increase, of which the Rebels will also receive that is still only $200 000.
