The first-term councillor made the claim after Brisbane’s lord mayor insisted the park be included in the government’s 100-day Olympic venue review.
A Greens councillor has sensationally accused an LNP “cabal” of conspiring to build a stadium at Victoria Park, after Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner insisted this week it must form part of the Crisafulli government’s 100-day Olympic venue review.“Those two things are completely incompatible,” she said.
“There is increasing evidence that the LNP are not being transparent or honest with the people of Brisbane. Chong Wah noted that the first stage of the $120 million Victoria Park/Barrambin parkland project showed a “gaping huge hole … big enough for an Olympic stadium”.Labor council opposition leader Jared Cassidy said Schrinner was “trying to have a bob each way”.
