Since the start of this election campaign, here at Our Place we have been examining a new stadium at Macquarie Point through a variety of lenses in the hope of arming you with some key facts when you find yourself engaged in a debate with the Yes Stadium hardliners and AFL tragics whose desire for a team so overwhelms their common sense that they choose to ignore all the negative consequences of blindly following the Premier over his vanity cliff.
Our resources canvas the following:
It’s not needed …
It fails to consider other uses for the site and the money …
It lacks transparency …
It lacks integrity …
It won’t fit …
It’s too expensive …
If you still can’t convince them that building this unneeded, uncosted, unplanned, uneconomic, inaccessible, disrespectful behemoth on our last piece of precious harbourfront land is just plain dumb, ask them if they’re prepared to cough up your share of the $2Bn, because you surely aren’t.
