Just saw this new coverage on yahoo news:
Things noted:
- Why did they book a small stadium to fit 70,000? They are sitting on plastic chairs!
- How can 70,000 pump AUD 50million into the economy of the city? How credible is this figure?
- The opening statement: JWs are known for having extreme believes, no mention that all but JWs will service, just Armageddon will come!
Looks to me the whole coverage is orchestrated by the Convention Media Department - good publicity!

On the other side of the spectrum:
How can 70,000 pump AUD 50million into the economy of the city? How credible is this figure?
That works out to about $700 per delegate.
Local delegates won't spend anywhere near that much, but the thousands of international delegates, particularly from the US, will spend much more. Undoubtedly several thousand each, considering hotels, meals, pre- and post-convention tours, etc.
The number is plausible; I have no idea if it is accurate.
