Clover Moore's $110,000 gay & Lesbian rainbow crossing

[mellie]

OXFORD St's rainbow crossing has cost ratepayers $1018 per sq m - even though the controversial stripes will have to be cleaned off the road in a month.

Sydney City Council has allocated $110,000 for the crossing, including $40,000 for paint and traffic management, $7400 for road safety audits, $7100 for video surveillance, $5000 for variable message boards and $6000 for RMS traffic crossing markings and $30,000 to remove it.

And here's what this lycra-clad latte-sipping inner-city wanna-be trendoid had to say about her senseless squandering of ratepayers money.

26 February 2013


Our latest public art project – a beautiful rainbow crossing across Oxford St – was installed on Monday night.

In December Council supported my Lord Mayoral Minute to install rainbow crossings on Oxford Street to celebrate Mardi Gras and our GLBT community.

Clover Moore is a moron. Not sure how I feel about the Australian military marching in the Mardi Gras in full uniform though. Need to give it more thought.

Clover Moore at Sydney's Gay and Lesbian communities beck and call, squandering ratepayers money to get herself reelected.

Haha, they'll get that back, in spades. GLBT's make muchos dolares, and spend it like it's going out of fashion at mardi gras

I think it's an insult to our nations defense force personnel, why must they wear a uniform which is supposed to represent a soldiers respect, honor and devotion to serving ones nation, not be used as a mere accessory to promote gay pride for added "peacock effect" at a Mardi Gras parade.

I personally find it disrespectful, and so typical of them impinging on our social and cultural values, the rights of others, with a view to upholding theirs.

You don't gain acceptance, tolerance and respect from others by disrespecting, demeaning and desecrating their traditions and whats dear to them.

Why don't they reinvent the Australian flag and our national anthem while they are at it?

The thing is... we are all Australian, but we aren't all gay.

I fear that for some, particularly those who come from a proud traditional military background this will breed contempt rather than promote social understanding, acceptance of our gay community.


Service members in uniform should not appear to endorse or selectively benefit groups or individuals, provide a platform for a political message, or appear to be commercially sponsored. They also must ensure their presence in uniform is not intended to increase sales and business traffic.

Clover Moore - unpatriotic self interested sanctimonious dope.

The thing is... we are all Australian, but we arn't all... well, anything.

For "anything", replace with hetro... Christian, white, atheist, male, British, black, communist, female, intersex... need I go on, you imbecile?

Fuck, the city spends dollars on, and is reorganised for all sorts of minority groups, from league fans around grand final day, to the country folk whenever the Royal Easter is on. Get the fuck over it, xenophobes.

If you are Christian you get Christmas decorations with Christ on a cross. If you are a footy fan, you get giant posters of footballs and players, so to be fair they should have painted a giant anal prolapse or a double fisting up to the FUPA.

Yeah, yeah... I'm sure they could think up some PR stunts around the theme of the "paedophile priest" and "alcohol fueled violence" to
