I think you forgot to add "as"

From what I've heard...
It wouldn't be AS economical, nor AS profitable, for U2 to tour certain parts of the world, including Oz.
Don't blame the band, blame your economy.
U2 would have a profitable tour of australia - god they brought popmart all the way there....
They could easily sell tiks for AUD $80 / $120
granted that is not as much as USA, but it is equal to some of the european venues revenue, they would rake in the merchanidising
they could easily play 4 melb / 4 syd / 3 bris / adel / perth
venues, with NZ that is easily 15 shows. Ticketing and tour costs in australia should also be cheaper as well.
They could pull it off easily and rake in some cash. But it would not be as "profitable" as the USA, that is accepted.
As for the election, if anyone brings U2 to Oz, i'll vote for them.
Imagine little Johnny in a death match with big kim over U2...
"would the honourable minister please confirm in no uncertain terms...that the Australian public has had a gutful...of U2's delays..."
"it's this type of disgraceful, scumbag, gutter politics, that has kept U2 out of Australia for so long..."
Scumbags!
