World Youth Day should have been held at Homebush.The V8 Supercars should race at Eastern Creek and I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if the Rees government tears up the pavement at Eastern Creek at vast expense to hold a horse racing carnival in the run up to the next state election in the mistaken belief that it will win a few extra votes by doing so.

What about the real westies and that $30M corporate welfare? Indeed.
