Premier pulls the plug on stadium refurb but will keep Powerhouse move

The Berejiklian government has dumped its controversial plan to redevelop ANZ Stadium and will redirect the $800 million saving to a new $3 billion Infrastructure and Job Acceleration Fund for "shovel-ready" projects to reboot the state's shattered economy.

The government has abandoned its pledge to redevelop ANZ Stadium but will proceed with the Powerhouse move.Meanwhile, late night negotiations between The Star and the government have resulted in the casino being allowed to open from tomorrow, with more than 500 people able to spread across the venue's multiple outlets.

Skills and Tertiary Education Minister Geoff Lee, who holds the seat of Parramatta, had vigorously lobbied to keep the Powerhouse Museum move, which is now projected to cost up to $1.1 billion. The tender for the stadium redevelopment had already progressed to a shortlist, with Multiplex, Watpac and Laing O'Rourke all vying to undertake the project. The government was due to award the design and construction contract in June.

michaelkoziol If he nswpolice Do not arrest and take appropriate action against these constitutional and international treaty law breakers. then the public will, surely the police force is not that stupid are they?

michaelkoziol Stop blaming Corona virus on what is plain outright tyranny. suppression of the community for ones own gains in power and wealth. the nswpolice Needs to arrest these parliamentarians or face international criminal charges themselves like the Germans did. You still have a choice

michaelkoziol Arrest them they have no legal authority. Do you question the Australian Governments Validity and Authority? If you don't, then you should. TheGlobalAwakening Do you question our Constitution? For people who question the original Australian Constitution.

michaelkoziol Footy fans prefer their local home grounds, so just knock down ANZ and redevelop the area to create the jobs

michaelkoziol No comment. I don't watch nrl

michaelkoziol Moving the museum and asking tourists to go on a slow train to parramatta just to visit it makes no sense.

michaelkoziol Gladys buying another three years by land banking Singleton and the other Fox Entertainment precinct Developers. No money in museums so she can't rescind Parramatta powerhouse having already committed their city land. Meanwhile developers flee free as their buildings crumble.

michaelkoziol Hey it was originally a knockdown & replacement, then refurbishment now totally delayed. Then if stadiums are not required stop Moore Park turn it back into new parkland and refurbish the Olympic stadium. Moore Park belongs to the people not football & cricket elites.

michaelkoziol If only she hadn't bulldozed the old 1 we could still use it.

Qldaah michaelkoziol GladysB, the heritage buildings which will need to be demolished to make room for the Powerhouse museum are of great historical significance. You have no right to rob us of that! You are an environmental, cultural and economic vandal. SaveWillowGrove nswpol

michaelkoziol This venue is to appease the parrot and SCG trust, the electorate did not mandate it as i recall. Bad decision for Parramatta though.

michaelkoziol a stitch up from the start with over 250 thousand signing petitions calling for a stop to overdevelopment and now its a dust bowl for property developers tks to TonyShepherdAO PropertyCouncil barryofarrell AlanJones GladysB stuartayresmp etc

michaelkoziol These politicians need to work for $20 an hour. That will solve a whole lot of shit....

Qldaah michaelkoziol It NEVER made sense

michaelkoziol The developers / Liberal donors are really determined to get their hands on that site. There must be millions and millions of $ waiting for them

michaelkoziol nswicac investigate GladysB now!!!

michaelkoziol Keeping the Powerhouse move? God they're bastards.

michaelkoziol So which developer donor will emerge as the owner of this site to build more dodgy inner city units?

esquizzical michaelkoziol No no no! One is heritage you bunch of Philistines!

michaelkoziol Good, it was a complete waste of money in the first place.

michaelkoziol Alan Jones Memorial Spittoon!

michaelkoziol Pretty sure most ppl voted against the stadium upgrade...

michaelkoziol More proof Gladys Bearinthekitchen is against physical health

michaelkoziol I have no problem with that.

michaelkoziol Makes sense when the stadium is complete rubble... MThistlethwaite

michaelkoziol Now for the real magic trick, can they un-demolish a stadium.

michaelkoziol Good move. Priorities have changed now and the new BankWest stadium is a superb new investment in GWSydney. ANZ Stadium is still of global standard and multi-user compatible. Keep it for an overhaul in 5-10yrs.

michaelkoziol And meanwhile they rushed demolition of the Allianz Stadium right before the election, they could have still had an operational stadium there too

michaelkoziol Maybe the money she's saving is what she'll use to fund wage increases for frontline essential workers? Oh wait...

michaelkoziol NotMyGovernment StopWastingOurMoney MorrisonsMuppet

michaelkoziol Block of units coming to the stadium site?

michaelkoziol Makes sense to not do the ANZ Stadium redevelopment until the SFS is finished. Those projects should never have been done at the same time.

michaelkoziol Everything this woman touches ends up with a massive cost blow out. She is not to be trusted and should be turfed out asap.

michaelkoziol Eastern Suburbs get their new stadium yo watch rugby. Western Suburbs get dudded again by GladysB and stuartayresmp

michaelkoziol What a grubby act. stuartayresmp and his SCG Trust mates get a gold-plated stadium at Moore Park to watch the Bledisloe Cup... Western Sydney NRL fans get nothing...

michaelkoziol What a bs artist. No one supported it before. And the snake removes another silky layer of skin.

michaelkoziol Such a waste of money! If any silver lining comes from the pandemic it is this! Stop wasting our money!

Gatorau michaelkoziol Moving the Powerhouse Museum massive waste of NSW taxpayer $ GladysB to facilitate the theft of inner city land to LNP developers and Sydney’s organised crime leadership. Very dodgy needs ICAC investigation & immediate halt to move.

geoffrey_payne michaelkoziol RubyPrincess PeterDutton_MP GladysB this is the result of the inquiry

michaelkoziol 🤦🏽

michaelkoziol I sure as hell didn't vote for this Government, money wasting Government. Light rail, Powerhouse Museum and knocking down Stadiums. That is just in the city, what did they do for Regional NSW Just ask those who live in Menindee for a start.

michaelkoziol A bit late for Allianz Stadium now a pile of rubble. GladysB

michaelkoziol Money to be made on Powerhouse no money in refurbing a stadium crook

michaelkoziol Dr. Luc Montagnier reveals how Covid-19 is a lab accident. He was awarded the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for the identification of AIDS.He currently works at University in China. The characteristics of the new coronavirus could not have arisen naturally

michaelkoziol She can see some dollars to be raided from the piggy bank by moving the museum.

michaelkoziol sell the demolished stadium land She'd get $300mils

michaelkoziol Powerhouse move Why 😡

Coronavirus update: Spain's daily death toll down to single digits, English Premier League gets approvalOnce the epicentre of the pandemic, Spain has lost just six people to COVID-19 in the past two days — a stark difference to the hundreds during its peak. In England, the Government gives its support for the nation's professional soccer competition to return. It’s not possible to bring down the daily death total to single digit because we have Trump as president. Cooking the books. It’s amazing how all these sports are starting up again. Some powerful people must be pushing from gambling and cable TV. Why is sport a nonessential industry, a leisure activity so vital? Who profits?
