Press watch:


An artcile has been published in the opinion section of today's issue of the West Australian (page 17, 4th August 2005), entitled 'EventsCorp row revives shades of Dullsville'. This article is not freely available online, however, I quote you twice from it:

“A groundswell of criticism of EventsCorp means the State Government can no longer afford to stick its head in the sand on the issue unless it wants WA forever to retain its ‘Dullsville’ tag…

…It also runs the risk of making WA a laughing stock, nationally and internationally, as many now joke a tiddlywinks championship could be the State’s next big drawcard.”

EventsCorp is a division of the Tourism Department of the State Government of Western Australia. One of their objectives is to "develop(s) and secure(s) major events that generate substantial visitor expenditure into Western Australia" EventsCorp
