We pay enough to the rest of the country in transfer payments already it sure would be nice to get a chunk of that back, even if we have to spend it on certain kinds of infrastructure.
Sadly I think facts and logic will be at the back of the bus through any plebiscite process and we'll just wind up with a get-out-the-vote contest that won't really do anything to settle the debate around public consultation and endorsement.

They're still going to fund the commonwealth games and just for laughs gags
The Olympics is basically just adding to the death-by-1000-papercuts
