A 'regional facility': Sydney mayor defends $10 million pool grant

for the $57.9 million overhaul, including upgrades to the existing pools, a new "family leisure" pool and a replacement grandstand.and delays to the council's previously published timeframe - on its own. The council has allocated $38 million while lobbying state and federal governments to each chip in $10 million.

"My big concern is I don't see how it's justified that a metropolitan council like North Sydney should receive funds earmarked for rural and regional areas," she said. "I’m proud that during the federal election campaign I was able to secure a Coalition election commitment to contribute $10 million to North Sydney Council’s project. Our government honours our commitments.

Just ANOTHER example of projects in Sydney receiving funding instead of those in regional areas.

The North Sydney Pool is a “regional” pool according to Mayoress Jilly Gibson. By her logic Cook & Phillip Park Pool is an even more regional pool despite being 200m from the GPO. Another rort. More lies. SportsRort Auspol ScottyfromMarketing $10m would’ve gone far in Walgett

Was it that hard to write 'North Sydney mayor'?

So regional. Maybe it can be classed as remote too if they try hard enough dickfaber MichaelJSky

Seeing as Labor don't have the necessary gumption to block supply in the senate in a vote of no confidence, we should at the very least seek to freeze/sieze all LNP party assets while the matter of their election embezzlement is referred to the high court.

So ScottMorrisonMP defunded the victims & survivors of DV of its $240k & gave $10 million sports grant to North Sydney - one of Australias 10 most affluent suburbs! AuspolSoCorrupt sportsrorts ScottyfromMarketing
