Spending $Bn of taxpayers money on 'infrastructure' that is going to be used for 2weeks and then given away for next to nothing to friends/supporters afterwards. And at the same time cutting funding to schools and community sports.

Using the army as cheap labour when the company given the contract for security decided it was going to be profitable enough and walked away
