Selling the Family Jewels

WestConnex cash set to flow to heavily locked down Sydney regions

The NSW government will invest the bulk of its pandemic recovery spending in western Sydney, diverting $5 billion from the sale of the WestConnex motorway to help suburbs that faced the harshest lockdown measures of the Delta outbreak.

With western Sydney to be the battleground in the 2023 state election, the government has established the WestInvest fund from the sale of the second stage of WestConnex.

The fund is set to form the cornerstone of the COVID-19 recovery plan.

The government on Monday confirmed a consortium led by tolling giant Transurban would take full ownership of WestConnex after successfully bidding $11.1 billion for the remaining share of the 33-kilometre motorway.

Opposition Leader Chris Minns said the decision by the government to privatise the remaining 49 per cent of WestConnex would hurt the people of western Sydney.

“The people who will pay for the broken promise to sell WestConnex are those who can least afford to pay,” he said.

“When it comes to already announced essential services and infrastructure for western Sydney, they should already be funded through the budget, not through some smoke and mirrors fund.”

So she shuts down business for months and doles out taxpayers money to subsidise those she's put out of work and onto the street, now she's selling off what rightfully belongs to the Australian people because the state is broke but needs funds in and attempt to repair the damage done.

After she promised there'd be no further privatisations after the first stage was sold.

The most precious gem that Andrews is selling or rather destroying is priceless the gem that is freedom 💎. This cannot be valued enough. And now what we are seeing is a horror 👾 story that  even H. P. Lovecraft himself would have trouble coming up with at the height of his creative weirdness.

At around 0:48 - "There are certain things you'd never look at, there are certain things you'd never consider because they're in the public interest. Stinging struggling families with more costs to travel due to more tolls is not a good thing. Not in the public interest.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is Sydney is asked if her government will consider privatisation to fund future projects. Ms Berejiklian responds by saying the government "will only take decisions that are in the public interest". "We've generated between $20-$30 billion from asset recycling but we've spent much more than that," Ms Berejiklian says. "Certain assets of course you would never recycle." Ms Berejiklian continues, saying she does not have "a list" of assets that would not be considered for privatisation. (AAP Video/Michael Wade)

Some folks icyfroth have been saying that Gladys was manipulated and that she was a soft target. There could be some truth in it but she knew what she was doing. Now this new chap. Hmmm

Most LIEberal party members just pay lip service to issues. The pro-life stance  is just a farce. Plenty counterfeit Christians as well.  Little johnny howard claimed to be a Christian. I can tell you that I would believe a old lagger criminal before I'd believe a word of his.
