The grand idiocy of the NSW Liberal Government to tear down a perfectly good Sports Stadium to replace it with a billion dollar "World Standard" sports stadium is insanity at its highest level

With the NSW State Election 2 weeks away attention has centred on the Stadium 'madness'

With Hospitals and Schools crying for more funds this along with the Light Rail craziness in Sydney Central highlights just how much Premier Gladys Berejiklian has lost the plot

Only 37% of the Public support the stadium. When questioned by the media Berejiklian kept changing the subject and wouldn't talk about it

I wonder whether she will talk about it when it costs her Government in 2 weeks time

if it bring in World Games    you wont say that rb....

the trouble is it isnt a perfectly good Stadium..it need million spent on it to patch it up....meaning in another few years more of the same.....as for that wallpaper blimp Labor have Daley  forget it... ;D ;D ;D

Nothing wrong with the stadium it was the fact that there is not the crowd numbers they want, the idea is build a bigger stadium and the crowds will follow.

In other cities like Melbourne and its stadiums AFL attracts bigger crowds, the problem for Sydney is that NRL is the game and with all the sex scandal in the game people are becoming disinterested.

And from what's been said its players mostly from educated  private all boy schools that are creating the scandal, proving the Private Education system that the LNP are keen on facilitating is not creating better adults.

Also to be considered with the Glaggy Binchicken government is the increasing land clearing  and a coal seam gas pipleline being fast tracked to Narrabri that's intended for the 200 or more wells in the Pilliga forest...wells that will ultimately destroy the artesian waters under the forest.

The LNP all facilitating mining and coal are environmental vandals.

I wiouldn't say that was the only reason they need to go under... plenty more where that came from...

That is the biggest pile of bullschit to ever be posted on this site.

As pissed off as I am about the stadium, Labor is not ready for Govt. in NSW. Sure the stadium needed replacing but it was pretty far down the list of priorities.

Never mind stadiums.  We need more prisons, lots of them -- or firing squads

Woman and her boyfriend murdered her husband after torturing him and before driving to Wiseman's Ferry to dump his body

The boyfriend is already out of prison or close to, after deduction for time already served and the woman will be out in three years or something.  And such ludicrously lenient sentencing are becoming the norm, the excuse being that prisons are overcrowded to the point they have to release dangerous subhumans out early 'because there's no room for the new ones'

Decent sentences please, or have the guts to put them down like the worthless trash they are.  And until that's done, people like me will delight in tossing LNP out the back door

If the Libs win, they will be in government for one term too long.

Someone should tell the current Premier not to wear black. It makes it far too easy to photoshop her into stills from the Wizard of Oz as the Wicked Witch of the West.

He is very wrong in that statement but I see much worse every day.

The whole calling Gladys a witch thing didn't work out so well for Penny Sharpe...

And just to show that I'm not a rusted on hack, the best result for NSW would be minority Lib Govt because the stadium should have been taken to an election.

I'm not sure that it should have gone to an election any more than other government projects, but I do think the stadium rebuild was a stupid move and they deserve to lose their majority over it.

At the polling booth today, chatted with the Liberal guy - he's on the local council - the ex braced him about the roads, and he was effusive about the cash coming - when I said that the $2.2Bn would have gone a long way - he said that was chicken feed.

The ex - as usual - had left forcing me to follow to unlock the car, so I didn't get to engage him about 'chicken feed' being the consequence of sometimes idealistic politicians suddenly throwing around billions - and then - say at council level - feeling that a $250 fee was nothing to a struggling pensioner or retiree...chicken feed...

The issue is, of course - how they rapidly lose perspective when tossing around billions.... look at the state of this nation these days....

The late money for the Libs  was on the money. The talent pool for NSW Labor :D is very low reap your rewards dickheads  :D

Looks like all major parties are on the nose.  ;D

A non-event of an election result really.

Libs in NSW to go under because of Sport Stadium

Turns out that Labor exclusively chasing this point probably lost the election.

In the end most people support the responsible building of stadiums which made this a peripheral issue at best, yes the Libs got it wrong but it was never the defining issue. Mrs Alphabet had been hopeless and her government were damaging NSW but Labor completely forgot to mention that they were telling us about stadiums.
