South Australian Premier Peter Malinauskas has been heralded as a saviour of soccer in Adelaide by the members of Peter Malinauskas’s team who contacted us with a press release just before deadline this morning.
Speaking with Adelaide United boss, Greenwich Coolranch, at his first ever A-League game, Malinauskas vowed to hold his breath until Adelaide was included on the league’s fixture or he passed out. It was unclear exactly who was supposed to fear the threat.
Sensing an opportunity, and feeling too awkward to point out that Coopers Stadium had hosted soccer for decades, Coolranch quickly cut a deal with the
‘Soccer is an internationally popular game which I have learnt attracts thousands of voterrrrr…people to its games,’ Malinauskas told Adelaide Mail in a lengthy, unsolicited voicemail.
‘We know that voterrrrrrrr…South Aussies appreciate world-class sports and there are none more world class than soccer.
‘And how good is this? 22 of the best voterrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…err…players out there strutting their stuff right here on the world stage at a world class stadium. Today, I’m just proud to be a South Australian, one who just happened to lure soccer to the state using this budget line labelled “money for fixing ramping”, no idea what that is.
‘Not to mention the economic impacts which are upwards of $20,000 per year. Multiply that and, well, SA is the winner once again’.
