The use of the Opera House for the commercial promotion of the elite blood sport of horse racing is disgusting in the extreme.

Irony; for those that bemoan the relatively small contribution made by the taxpayer towards the performing arts should note the AJC pays a "peppercorns" rent to the people of New South Wales for Randwick racecourse! In 2008 the State government extended the lease for another 99 years! Where else in Sydney could you obtain a 99 year lease from the State at a peppercorns rent. On the light fail (laughingly called the light rail project), the AJC made certain not a blade of grass on Randwick racecourse was disturbed for the disastrous project. It seen to it that the construction tore up both Alison and Wansey Roads instead. Its okay with the extra business the light rail will bring its way.

As for Alan Jones, there is that much dirt on Jones out there, but no one will dare say anything for fear that Jones will sue the arse off em', sue the arse off em'... ha ha. How old is Jones, 77? His epitaph should make interesting reading.

Steele,

"But to celebrate a great progressive vote by a majority of Australians was certain worth celebrating by adorning the rainbow colours on a cultural icon like the Opera House"

Just a pedantic point, the vote was not by a majority of Australians but by a minority.

You're not on that one again, are you Issy! ALL Australians, every last one of them, including the Mad Monk and Archy Pell voted YES to gay marriage. The vote was 25,126,278 YES, the entire population, and zero votes for NO! That's it, end of story. No more correspondence on the subject will be entered into!Has that stumped you.

Yeah the vote for sodomy back in Sodom and Gommorah was pretty high. That did not end well despite the initial celebrations.
