God aren't the Kulture krowd precious.

We throw millions at their rubbish, which very few are interested in, then they complain when something many are interested in is flashed up on the greatest symbol of waste & extravagance in Australia.

I have no interest is opera or horse racing, but I do find it telling just which bunch are bleating the loudest.

When the opera house earns its keep, then it won't need to be used as a bill board, however, while it is a massive loss generator it should be used for anything that will take some of the cost off the public.

Happy to oblige; the pedanticist in me notches onto these things, with glee I might add.

Steele,

That'd be correct.

Paul,

Truth will out.

Dear Hasbeen,

Too right. You would have thought these places should be able to stand on their own without siphoning off taxpayer's dollars.

Just saw another $25 million wander off to the petrol heads up in Bathurst.

Seems they constantly have their money grubbing mitts into the pockets of the poor old tax payer.

Time to put a stop to the bloody lot in my book.

Found an absolute Steelie. Certainly a fail at any uni. Surprised u found incest gross!

Here you go - here's the worth of the Sydney Opera House -
done a few years back. It's probably worth even more
today - and it explains why it's more than worth supporting:
