The Chief Minister has rushed to the barricades of the seemingly lost cause of keeping the North Melbourne Kangaroos in Canberra.
Hilariously it seems the community benefit of having 3 AFL games a year at Manuka Oval is his main concern.
Aussie Rules builds enormous community spirit in the region, as well as bringing in important tourism dollars and acting as a boost to local business.
I imagine the Roos are going to keep coy on this until they get competing offers of cold hard cash.
