NSW Premier Chris Minns has come under fire for the decision not to light up the Sydney Opera House sails for King Charles III's coronation at the weekend. 9News
2GB host Ben Fordham said a number of listeners of the Nine radio station had criticised the premier's decision, calling it upsetting, embarrassing and disrespectful.
"We've got to be mindful of where taxpayer money is spent and there were obviously other places and ways of commemorating the King's event and I wish him all the best," he said. He said since coming into office in March, the government has refused a number of proposals to light up the Opera House."I'd like to keep it for Australia and Australian moments of sacrifice and heroism for the country or when there is an important international event in Sydney," he said.
