NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet says he is “not accountable” to ARL Commission Chairman Peter V’landys after the NSW government clashed with the NRL over funding for suburban stadiums.
The funds, which were allocated to Brookvale Oval, Leichhardt Oval and Shark Park, are being prioritised for disaster recovery and flood reconstruction.
He said he is accountable for the people of NSW, and when circumstances change, “priorities change too”. “There is no other state that has put as much investment in relation to sporting infrastructure than the NSW government,” Mr Perrottet said.
