Funniest bit of this is that Tate was on holidays. His deputy said that they didn't want it/it wasn't feasible or possible. Tate literally flew home to over rule her

cause Tates a cunt and a mad Jesus freak who thinks power is holy. He's one of those seven mountains mandate pentecostalists.

Tate needs to back off. Rates already paid for part of the 2018 Comm Games and we've got the Olympics coming up.

We have such a housing and cost of living crisis, that I can't believe he would think ratepayers would support this

Well at least they’ve got all the venues from 2018. Even if half it was in Brisbane.
