The ultimate conflict of interest? Premier Kristina Keneally takes over Barangaroo
Thu, 2010-09-30 19:17 — publisherPremier 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.

Moore quits over Barangaroo 'railroading'
Wed, 2010-09-22 10:06 — publisherThe lord mayor, Clover Moore, has quit the board in charge of Sydney's biggest development, claiming the public is being ''railroaded'' on the Barangaroo project.
In a letter to the Premier, Cr Moore said she was resigning because Kristina Keneally had failed to address her concerns about the removal of financial information from the Barangaroo contract, ''inadequate and ineffective community consultation'' and the ''external control'' that was forcing the project to proceed before it was considered properly.
