Ministerial sky walk for the pleasure dome?

Why not just rent/lease premises? Governments both Fedreal and Local have realised decades ago that owning operating is much more expensive than renting/leasing. Another example of the wrong people in the wrong government jobs trying to either reinevent the wheelor to justify their salaries?

Look Skywalker!

Am I the only one totally pissed off by this government’s ability to fund every pie in the sky, grandiose scheme they can think of.

I’m fed up with public art, arboretums, $400 million plus offices & skybridges, whilst social services costing $50-60K are terminated.

These clowns are so sure that the populace will vote them back in that they don’t have to make any attempt to justify the emptying of the public purse.

Just what does it take to jump start the pulse of the opposition party(ies)?

Seeing as the assembly itself is just a large conference room, of which any new office building has several, why not just move the assembly into the new building, move the new building somewhere cheaper (say next to the Northbourne Avenue flats), and sell the current assembly site and its adjoining car parks to some developer.

Sky bridge sounds really cool! Though sky walk is much better still.

Let’s let them build it and then demand public access to it!

Is there any council in Australia that has a sky bridge?

I think Labour in NSW had one……………………….one side of it wasn’t attached to anything though!

“(I mean who seriously needs a reading room in 2011?)”

Yeah, but it won’t be ready till 2017. Perhaps they’re visionaries, and reading rooms will be all the rage 6 years from now! 🙂
Sounds like awesome forward planning to me!

Is there any council in Australia that has a sky bridge? And the best bit is that is a private one…not fit for normal citizens!

How many sleeps to the next election? I guess it will be half built by then so there is no point complaining about it.

Would it be cheaper just to build an elevated walkway, instead of the sky bridge?

Sort of like a ‘stairway to heaven’….?
