Agreed that public funding is unlikely in the current climate, but you never say never in politics.
Queensland Raceway was in the most part funded by the State Government (it was not intended that way, but that's what happened in the end), and while the V8's would like another circuit in the state, I think they do pretty well financially with two street circuits supported/funded by the State and Local governments.
If there is a way, I am sure Wagner's will find it.
BTW - the hill near Wellcamp Airport is certainly not another "Mt Panorama", and any new circuit design will have to meet standards that Bathurst and other street circuits have escaped over the years. Certainly a challenge for iEDM & MS.
