The Liberal government has more questions to
answer after the appointment of two new non-executive directors to the
Macquarie Point Development Corporation board.
After pouring nearly $130 million into
Macquarie Point over nearly a decade, then deciding to build a $750 million
stadium instead, the government established the Major Stadiums unit in the
department of State Growth to plan and deliver major stadium developments for
Tasmania.
So who is responsible for building this
unnecessary and unwanted stadium? Is it the Macquarie Point Development
Corporation or Major Stadiums?
And, if it is the latter, what is the point of
the Macquarie Point Development Corporation?
The Liberal government is making it up as it
goes along and doesn’t seem to be able to keep up with its own decisions.
This is no way to manage major projects and developments.
