no help here

I was a public servant long enough to understand the ""return on investment" report which Saffioti uses to justify eight million dollars for a Cold Play concert in Perth, 9th July. These reports never analyse "if" money should be spent. The decision has already been made, the report must make it appear to be worthwhile.

Meanwhile, I have an app which will bring thousands of tourists to WA. And get them to do more than see one concert. And it will work all year, every year.

I contacted Saffioti's office to see if she could introduce me to a potential backer for commercialisation. Not a fucking hope.

I don't blame Saffioti, I could not get past her "senior adviser" whose job is to prevent new ideas getting to the Minister. A "flapper", Jonathan Swift would call him. Six months of wasted emails during which the flapper never understood what I wanted, because he finally said, What you want is a backer. At which point I re-sent my original request to be introduced to a possible backer.

The flapper replied, No, we can't do that.

Eight million dollars spent on an English music group. No help at all for a local developer.

How do I feel about that?

Absolutely pissed.
