We recently wrote to the WA Deputy Premier outlining our concerns regarding the proposed @seriea.bsky.social fixture in Perth.

ACT Gov pays $2.85 mil a season to Greater Western Sydney in the AFL to be "Canberra's team", but has to play a game each year to ensure the survival of an actual Canberran team.
