The Nelson City council keep claiming that no decision has been made about hosting the world rugby cup. Yeah right! Does this council really think that the public are gullible enough to swallow that dead rat.
Well it has now been officially confirmed, that those council claims are not worth the paper they are written on, and that this council couldnt lie straight in bed if it tried.
Since when does the government announce in its budget, the hand-out of $1.5 million dollars worth of taxpayer funds, to something that does not exist.
So when the government prominently announces, that very $1.5 million dollar handout to the council, it clearly gives the lie to those claims that no world cup decision will be made until after consultation with the public.
The strings attached to that government largesse confirm the fallacy and deception of council claims.
Those caveats restrain the application of that handout, to spending only for hosting the world cup, and confirmation of the application of that money, strictly to world cup hosting, must be authenticated by the world cup ministers tick of approval.
If this is not a concrete case of outright predetermination then nothing is.
