| Subject: OZschwitz: former minister lashed his government's $2.5b stadium plan when its performance on child protection was a disgrace Mon Feb 26, 2018 7:43 pm | |
| A Liberal MP and former minister under Mike Baird has launched a scathing attack on his government’s decision to spend $2.5 billion on sporting stadiums, questioning how it could be justified when their performance in child protection has been a “disgrace”.
Matthew Mason-Cox, a former fair trading minister, said it was a damning indictment of the current system that “a couple of sporting stadia [can be prioritised] before the welfare of the most vulnerable children and families in our community”.
“It’s a no brainer as far as I’m concerned,” Mr Mason-Cox, an upper house MP, said.
