Premier Kristina Keneally today announced that she will assume ministerial responsibility for the $6 billion Barangaroo project. Before being promoted by her party to Premier, Ms Keneally was the Minister for Planning and set up the NSW Government Barangaroo Delivery Authority to develop the site.
The news will do little to quell the criticism that the NSW Government is "steamrolling the public" on the Barangaroo development as alleged by Sydney's Lord Mayor Clover Moore when she resigned from the Barangaroo Delivery Authority Board last week. If anything, it will only confirm the perception.
