Auckland might not host the Cup


Recommended Posts

The hosting fee of a estimated US$80 million is a massive leap skyward compared to the fee paid to ACM for the last Cup in Bermuda.

ETNZ Inc shareholders are looking to the public for a bonanza bonus pay day. Whistle dixie you greedy selfish blackmailing pack of thankless twits.

Take it to Russia Italy Zimbabwe, so off you go bozos and good riddance .

As previously stated ETNZ has received great dollops of public loot and would have ceased to exist long ago without the public financial support.

ETNZ ask not what your country can do for you, ask what can you do for your country.

It's great that there's a specific industry organization that encompasses and represents those who'll benefit from the Cup. The government and Auckland City will know exactly who to bill for the cost of infrastructure and hosting. Good of them to put their hands up like this.

Dalton spoke last night at a sponsors event last night at the squaddy, and while he didn't mention the fee he basically said that they were committed to hosting in Auckland and implied that some of the reports of looking at other locations were exaggerated.

Another sensationalist headline when in fact it is barely news. 

 

The last paragraph.

 

"MBIE added that the error did not affect its economic impact estimates for hosting the regatta in Auckland. It maintained that between 2018 and 2021 it would add between $0.6 - $1 billion in value add to New Zealand's economy and boost employment by between 4700 and 8300"

add between $0.6 - $1 billion in value

 

The way I understand it, that's not the key piece of information - in fact by itself it's kind of misleading since that's not net of the cost that has to be invested to produce that benefit.

 

The point of the article is that you have to spend something pretty close to that amount, potentially even more than that, to get that benefit - which is not exactly an economic miracle. And that money that has to come from somewhere (aka someone). And as far as I understand, the analysis (haven't read in detail) doesn't take account of the opportunity cost, i.e. what alternative benefit might be achieved by spending that money in completely different ways, including leaving it entirely in the private economy.

 

Tell me if I'm wrong.
