Stadiums

Just a warning, every time there's a govt announcement re just about anything . Luke Foley and the do nothing Labour Party will use the slogan "  it's spend money on stadiums or ...???"

Nothing was done in the State for over 10 years apart from announcing roads and rails that never got built, and now Foley is going to appeal to the Peter Fitzwankers et al. So disappointing , and somehow the left are in favour federally, Shorten and Plibasek are absolute Union dominated morons and we may well end up paying the price of having Lefty govts. Only need to look at Qld, Victoria and SA and shudder.

Apologies to any lefties in here, but Foley and his mob are frightening, just wanted to get it off the proverbial chest

  • Can’t agree more.
    Stadium Australia is a disgrace to sport. Knock it down and start again.
    Libs should go to the polls now
  • Not everything the Libs do is great and same with Labor. For years under Bob Carr they wouldn’t open up greenfield land for development and the supply was a fraction of demand, one reason for the crazy prices. State Labor was a useless corrupt inept mess and had to go. The Libs came in and look at how this State exploded, everyone’s making money, well anyone having a crack. However Gladys seems totally focussed on the crane index, she just wants more working cranes than any city. I think her Stadium policy is rubbish, there are far more deserving infrastructure projects than tearing down Stadium Australia etc. 

  • They need to explain to people the need to knock it down. It comes down to economics, which shows that it is actually cheaper to do this rather than to remodel to bring it up to international standards. Unfortunately Foley is just pandering to sports hating people.
  • Deadset I’m in two minds abt the stadiums but i see your point overall; Labor to me is a tick for unions etc. I am still getting over the Building Ed Revolution in schools; management fees and a rort.

  • Stadium Australia needs to be upgraded to a rectangular stadium and to save money they should knock down Allianz Stadium as it was a pathetically inept ground from the first instance. It's impossible to play during the day because of the stupid shadows.

    They should knock it down totally and build a  proper carpark for the SCG.

    Luke Foley and Peter Fitzwanker deserve each other both pathetically useless naysayers.

  • Labour were in power in this state for 15 years. As a legacy the only thing that they left behind was massive state debt and a couple of ministers who went to gaol for fraud. Their time in office was a disgrace and federally Labour are about to rekindle the career of ex premier Christine Keneally as the NSW replacement for Dastyari in the senate. Why for the same reason Eddie Obeid chose her to be premier. She is a pretty face and ticks all of the boxes for a female in parliament. She and her government were a disgrace when in power and were booted out with a massive loss of seats.

    A report will be issued this week or next outlining the reasons they are opting for a Knock Down Rebuild of both stadiums. The report is compiled by KPMG and from the bits already released to the press the case is compelling.

    Peter Fitzsimmons wrote on the weekend in the Herald that Berrijiklian will be back flipping on the Stadium decision. She has come out since and declared that Fitzy is wrong, again, saying that they have made the right decision for all the right reasons and they will be moving forward on it immediately.

  • I was a lefty until the cause got hijacked by the chattering classes who gentrified inner city suburbs of the working class some 30-40 years ago .Now treat all parties with a lot of caution. There is no happy medium in the press with Fairfax being a sounding board for the chatterers (most of whom hate RL) and giving lower North Shore theorists like FitzSimons too much oxygen while Murdoch is always looking after his high end mates, Neither has journalists who are aware or concerned with anything further than 10km from the city.  

    Anyway after travelling interstate it is apparent Sydney is light years behind and there is a real need to update all the stadiums. The Govt today announced $850M for grassroots sports facilities in Western Sydney so there goes one of Fitzsimons big arguments. The $2.5B stadium upgrade of a $45B infrastructure budget being spent on schools and hospitals ( go to Blacktown Mona Vale etc there getting built) isnt much and equates to about 3%.

    Be very aware voting Gladys out. Things are happening and wont happen if she goes.

    Bob Carr done nothing for years except talk authoritavely in a deep voice about things he didn't know about ( the Olympics were a great example) and Foley will do exactly the same except he sounds a lot like Mr G. Should  Foley  be elected we will have unfinished motorways public transport hospitals and schools (eg The NW Metro will never ever get past Chatswood and he West Connex will just go onto Parramatta Rd at Camperdown) .

    Vote for the Libs until its all this is finished in 6-9 years and then and only then vote Labor in because by then the Libs will all be very corrupt  and very complacent.

    BTW No other states have this problem with the NIMBY chattering classes and getting things get done.

    Anyone interested in sorting these people out let me know
