Money well spent IMO. Who doesn't want a gold toilet.

Just gutted my house and done a complete rebuild and spent half of that.

Sorry to bring something serious in to this, but I am involved with a local junior club and had a meeting with Council about facility upgrades at the club’s change rooms to make them “more inclusive”.

Near on 200k to make six shared showers cubicles instead of open, and make doors on seven toilets open outwards instead of inwards…

So those obscene toilet refurbishment figures don’t shock me.

Or a golden shower?

Or a golden shower?

Is that the one one which has a big round one and also a hand job one?

 

[BloodySwan]

Plus, this is probably a heritage building as well.
And they need to build the off-site injecting room as is customary for everything essendon related.

So we can all use the gold toilet? Even better!

I hope they refuse access to Carlton supporters though. Peasants.

Reminds me of an old saying.
Better to be p155ed on than to be p155ed off.

It's the same all over. Councils have their shortlist of 'preferred bidders' and they're the only ones who tender. The quotes are always astronomical.

A lot of clubs have had rebuilds and renovations over the past few years due to female footy, and you'd always swear they could get at least twice the work done for the project cost. On every project, without fail.

It basically seems like legalised bid rigging.

Just need to get a few mates in high places and we can win the rigged bids.

Yep, my club applied for a grant to make the facilities more female friendly, $60k received.

We agreed to roll that grant into Council to run the works and engage contractors given they are Council’s facilities, all of a sudden it’s pushing $200k.

Amazing.

Why'd you post the acronym if you were typing it out?
