$750 MILLION.
“Not one red cent more.” Yeah, right.
Now Macquarie Point Stadium is heading towards $1 BILLION and the Tasmanian Government still won’t tell us the full cost.
Parliament told them to release the updated figures by August.
It’s September. CRICKETS.
70% of Tasmanians want the costings released. So bloody release them.
If the price hasn’t blown out, prove it. If it has, stop hiding and tell Tasmanians the truth.
Because while they’re pouring money into this stadium, 1,700 public sector jobs are being cut, health workers are going and health programs are being slashed.
And if the thing isn’t ready by 2028, taxpayers could be slugged nearly another $5 million.
I like my footy. But I hope that gold-plated roof is worth it.
Because Tasmania’s health system is getting absolutely belted.
Wake up.
