⚪️🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣⚫️ NEW DIRECTION   Ed. No. 68 - PAYING FOR A SYDNEY WORLD EXPO

"MONEY MAKES THE WORLD GO ROUND"

Flag of the United Nations

A tried and true idea 

on a much larger scale.

THE WORLD ICONS LOTTERY

This idea of a lottery worked most successfully in funding the Sydney Opera House here in Australia.

How can we do the same but on an international scale over the internet?

The long-term purpose is to fund the maintenance of those sites

on the United Nations World Heritage List.

Initially though a WORLD ICONS LOTTERY would fund:

The Spirit of Bennelong

at a SYDNEY WORLD EXPO

1. The cost for the creation of a new world icon - The Spirit of Bennelong

2. Supporting infrastructure i.e. lifts, building and atrium of
The Native Peoples of the South Pacific representation "Australia's JAMBAROO®"

that is abutted to the Statue of Bennelong.

3. Funding to some extent of developing nations participation in "Australia's JAMBAROO®"

allowing them to have their say.

People buy a ticket in the Lottery through a web address. It has been suggested,

“each time the lottery is held a particular World Icon or site is chosen as the theme

and pictures and information about it would be shown to promote it on the website.

This would educate people on some of the more unfamiliar icons.”

The prize to the winner(s) as well as being monetary would also include “a vacation to that icon”.

It is felt appropriate that “the United Nations is the right place for this idea” to blossom.

It's exciting to see creative ideas like the World Icons Lottery being proposed for Sydney. Do you think this could inspire similar projects in other cities, or is Sydney uniquely suited for it?​​

Thanks for your feedback Scott.

Where there is a will there is the way forward.

People seem absorbed in the negative presently.
Precisely the reason we should be finding creative solutions to dig ourselves out of the world rut we currently find ourselves in.

We need to be acting both locally and globally.

Sydney needs to get off its indulged arse and get moving otherwise another City (Australian or globally) will take the initiative and should do so.

Maybe Wellington NZ or Auckland NZ would be other ideal Global Cities to host a World Expo based in a foundation of their local cultural flavour!
