As Deputy Leader of the Opposition, strongly criticised the Olympic infrastructure amendments being rammed through without scrutiny, attacking the Deputy Premier for arrogance in dismissing community concerns and arguing the amendments bypass all normal planning, heritage and environmental approvals.

The inclusion of those projects in the arrangements act means there will be no development application process, no public notification period, no formal opportunity to lodge objections, no third-party appeal rights, no independent review and no transparency.2026-02-12View Hansard
