1.5 million people in WA only a small percentage can actually go to the show and a lot don't go because of the associated problems

1. litter
2. social disorder, alcohol
3. traffic chaos
4. lousy public transport
5. crowds
6. weather

also do we need too have 2, one on new year and then Australia day
also in saying it may cost $5milion for Syd but how much income does the event generate I'd think the cost outweighs the benefit

In the case of WA our Skyshow was originally funded by a radio station who withdrew from the event

Whether you agree or not remember it's your rates and taxes which go too fund these events that are only enjoyed by a minority and over time a significant amount of money goes up in smoke
