"For a leader who often gives the impression she is so cautious she would be hard pressed to bite into a hot pie lest she burn her mouth, Gladys Berejiklian has gone crazy brave on stadiums. The first “courageous” — in Yes Ministerparlance — decision she made was to say she could build two stadiums at once, at a cost of $2 billion, in 2017."
"Allianz Stadium did have safety problems but the fact it was in the rich eastern suburbs of Sydney never helped Berejiklian’s argument. Worse, the NRL was insisting on an ANZ Stadium upgrade as a priority, meaning the Premier was caught between the SCG Trust and Alan Jones on one side and the NRL on the other; she decided to please everyone and build both."
If you want to talk about Coalition largesse we can too..these stadium projects must be critical for population growth..
