Question is, how many pensioners throughout their working lives paying their taxes, would it have taken to put that ragtag of a so called flag up on a Bridge that we are still paying for nearly ninety years later. Hard working people have paid the price once again

Surely someone asked the indigenous community if they would like to pay for their flag. Where does the money they earn from mining royalties go? They must be very disappointed that they weren't asked to contribute or even pay for the total cost.

If they dare to spend that sort of money on a flag pole will be the last time I ever vote Liberal, ever.

I would be happy to fly to Sydney at my own expense and get an alternative quote or two.

To whom do I express my displeasure at this waste of money?

So frustrating. I'm sorry this money wasn't spent on the Indigenous community it is purporting to support.

Has anyone asked an Indigenous person, living in a remote area without schools/hospitals and the other facilities that city dwellers enjoy, what they think of this ridiculous and exorbitant amount being spent on a flag? And for the NSW premier to say "it's a small price to pay" with a straight face just leaves me speechless - and I voted Liberal!!

Every day life gets more strange, even peculiar. I read this morning that food transport vehicles are causing greenhouse gas problems and we should source our food no further than 160 kilometers from our homes! Poor people in southern states - no more bananas, or sugar or mangoes.

NSW "Premier" (overrated title) announces he could go to Bunnings & put a flag pole on top of the Harbour Bridge. Mr. "Premier", I went to Flagpoles r Us & they can beat your quote by 10%.

What an absolute disgrace how could a flag pole and a flag cost that much. A flag that will bring racial division not unity for the indigenous 3% of our population.

As you said James all the good and vitally necessary things this money could have been spent on.

Dom P pandering to the woke activists, has he learnt nothing from the demise of our previous Fed. PM through desertion of the conservative base.
