Such a shame to use an iconic building to advertise a horse race. Alan Jones is no more than a ‘shock jock’ who can’t be taken seriously by any thinking person and it seems the government is once again out of touch with the people. Although I must say these Sydney Siders are real ‘try-hards’, here in Melbourne we may not have the Opera House, but we do already have the horse race which stops the nation - The Melbourne Cup.

Short answer 'yes' with an 'if', long answer 'no' with a 'but'.
I was flabbergasted that such a use of the Opera House was even considered. But then even more flabbergasted when both Labor and the Libs fell into line behind Alan Jones. I still can’t work out why they give him such power when his reach is so limited. NSW politics remains such a quagmire.

"Even Donald Trump wouldn’t get away with putting advertising onto the Lincoln Memorial ..."
Don't be so sure. He could be advertising his garish red hats on the heads of Mount Rushmore before you know it.

Guaranteed to give him ideas. Sad.

So disappointing. For me, catching sight of Sydney's glimmering opera house was akin to my first glimpse of Michelangelo's David in Florence -- a long-held dream come true. I hope Australians continue to be "precious" about this beautiful building .
