I qouted you exactly.
You were talking about a region that is Sth West Sydney, though is happily included in the Grester Western Sydney region (like the inner west etc)
You think the government is going to fund a brand new stadium down there?
After the media war going on now with the ANZ, SFS and Parra rebuilds? No chance.
The original plan some 5 years ago was to build a multi purpose 30k stadium at the airport for the Wanderers Bulldogs and Tigers to play out of.
Since then they have rebuilt Parra and the stadium splurge outcry has happened.

You're side tracking yourself with semantics about stadium builds.
Every League team has a clear identity.
Sydney FC, like WSW has a clear identity...both have little to do with geography.
WSW has had 10's of thousands of supporters from day one. The people who support them do so because they have a clear identity.
All of the Melbourne, South Australian and West Australian AFL teams have their own identity.
GWS does not have its own identity, yet.
GWS's identity is wholly encompassed by the AFL & its brand. People don't want to support the AFL, they want to support a team, a team that they identify with in some way.
People of Western Sydney (in large enough numbers to create a club & identity) won't support GWS that sometimes plays in Canberra. That is the AFL having a bet each way. If the AFL itself won't commit to Western Sydney why would the people of Western Sydney commit to a sort of/maybe Western Sydney AFL team?
There is a reason why the most successful enterprises (sporting or corporate) are the ones that have a strong & clear identity.
Coke.
Apple.
It is business strategy 101.
