As parliamentary scrutiny of the state government bill to set up a long-promised independent Games infrastructure body gets under way, the LNP is still not convinced.While joining Labor in ruling out a new Victoria Park stadium as recommended by the Quirk review, before the laws to set up the body landed, LNP leader David Crisafulli said he’d set up his own to carry out a fresh 100-day review of planning.
At the time, he suggested this would probably replace anything the government brought forward, and concerns now raised by the Information Commissioner about unnecessary exemptions from right to information laws seem to only be solidifying the LNP’s still-undecided position.Brisbane Times asked questions of the opposition, and got a response back from the party’s spokesperson on the Games, Jarrod Bleijie, accusing the government of “repeating the same mistakes”.
