Anyone know what sort of impact the upcoming federal election will have on the final results?
Apologies if this comes across as brash but it could have something to do with compulsory attendance from students?

Hello Big Papi
That actually is a good Question. In 2007 the Labor Government under K.Rudd cancelled the construction of building extensions at Ballymore, by withdrawing Federal Funding. That is the most obvious one in my experience. The funding of Rugby development programs, for Papua New Guinea, although its League, is also part of a "Soft Power" approach encouraged by former Tennis great and the last Federal member for Beenlong, John Alexander. John saw it as a means to offset potential Chinese influence in this country and to strengthen, Australian Foreign Power Influence, throughout the Region, which is commonly known as the "Arch of Instability".
The Pacific Islands of Tonga, Fiji and Soma have also been identified as being vulnerable to Chinese influence. But Liberal Party Policy, is still being formulated for these countries. But the funding of Rugby in these countries is part of a Liberal Party push( At least by some members), to have all three nations well within, the Australian sphere of influence. So there is not a repeat of the Solomon Islands Affair. Which has the potential to impact upon Australian National Security.
The funding of sports, within schools is another area of potential development for Rugby. Particularly, as Rugby is a International Sport. So Federal Government Sports funding, could potentially impact upon Rugby, here in Australia and in the Pacific Islands.
