      The Island was losing the race anyway. The race owners wanted it moved closer to Melbourne, you like Albert Park. Rather than cave the government backed the island and didn’t want to move it. Or have I been misinformed?

      Do we actually know why it is being moved? Everything I’ve read suggests it’s new ownership that is mandating it be in a city…

      I don’t like the state gov as much as the next fella but this isn’t their fault (for once), Liberty Media wanted Albert Park so they were leaving regardless. If anything, VIC Gov went to bat for the people of the island.

      There’s no way this wasn’t planned to fail. I’m convinced they asked for Albert Park knowing it would be turned down.

      Good. I don’t think we should be paying bribes to organisations to get them to bring events here.

      Short of moving Philip Island to the edge of the city there’s not much else they could have done. This is how Liberty Media operate.
