NSW opposition leader Luke Foley is taking to the road in effort to derail the state's stadium plan.afairernsw.com
New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian unveiled the state’s 20-year infrastructure plan as Labor "ramps up the campaign against her unpopular plan" to spend A$2.7B ($2.08B) rebuilding Sydney’s two major stadiums, according to Anne Davies of the London GUARDIAN. Most of the plan for transport links "has already been released but the plan is the government’s formal response to the Greater Sydney Commission’s recommendations." Berejiklian "is struggling to promote the government’s infrastructure agenda in the face of a concerted campaign" over its decision to spend A$2.7B rebuilding both Allianz Stadium at Moore Park and ANZ Stadium at Homebush in Sydney. The NSW opposition leader, Luke Foley, "set out on Sunday on a statewide tour" in a red bus emblazoned with the slogan "Schools and hospitals before stadiums." He is planning a "week-long visit to key electorates around the state," including Tweed, Myall Lakes, several towns in the Hunter Valley, then west to Barwon, Dubbo, Bega, Queanbeyan (GUARDIAN, 3/18).
