When this idea was mooted years ago I thought it was a humongous waste of money and a second rate proposal to the alternative over the old rail yards. Now that it is finished though, I am so very impressed. From the superior viewing angles to the fantastic location and resonating design (without sou...

So pretty much Liberal are using scare tactics and saying they have a 'plan' to 'fix' the state when no such plan exists... Sounds familiar
