I am Northern beaches born and bred and live in liberal heartland. I’m with you

We dont need a lot of what is being done at the moment, and the Stadia policy is a perfect example.
If we honestly believe that any of this is for the fans then we are very mistaken. This is all about creating infastruucture and boosting the state economy to the highest bidder.
Todds threat of talking the GF and future origins away from the biggest market for league would have to be one of the stupidest comments I have ever heard. It would be suicide for the NRL to deny its biggest fan base live games. It would effectively kill of league in NSW and open up the flood gates for AFL and soccer.
If the SFS is as they say unsafe by todays standards and an accident waiting to happen, how did they let 1000’s of people through there this year.
Peter Fitzsimmons has written some very good pieces on this over right last few years. If anyone would like more info have a look at some of the articles he has written.
On more liberal notes, the light rail for one is a terrible blight on Sydney’s CBD. It has destroyed many local business in the city and cut the city in two. It will be ill used by many in sydney and I can see it blowing out even more I’ve he next two years.
I’m sitting on the B1 at the moment and it was hailed as the best thing on the beaches since sliced bread, but it saves no time on my daily commute from MonaVale. The old L90’s where bad but they took the same time and they also ran later at night.
Don’t even get me started on the lock out laws which have effectively pushed real estate prices up in Darlinghurst and Potts Point up and destroyed the night and live music scene in Sydney. Newtown now has just replaced the cross but it is further away from the beaches which makes it harder for people from the beaches to go out later in the city without travelling to Newtown. But the lock out laws dont apply to tight casino????WTF
I’m having dinner on Friday night with a former political advisor to the state liberal party and he’s a great bloke (drinks way too much) but he is fun to have a night out with. He has some very good stories about the state of the Libs at the moment.
I’ll await the usual “lefty” comments to come rolling in from the usual posters.
