(): But that's despite committing, as I said earlier, $2.5 billion—this is not chump change—of other people's money to the Brisbane live music arena, with its drop-in, drop-out pool for the Olympics—what a legacy project that is. They can't even decide where to have it, if you can believe the Courier Mail. They're debating where it's actually going to be stationed. It doesn't have a cost-benefit analysis. If not through Infrastructure Australia, which is what you're telling me, where is the government doing its assessment to assure taxpayers that the $2.5 billion for the Brisbane live music arena is money well spent?
