LETTER: Taxpayers should have a say in Sidney parking

LETTER: Neighbourhood pools fit with Climate Leadership Plan

Why do we need a large costly swimming pool and leisure facility serving one neighbourhood when we could build several small pools in Victoria serving more neighbourhoods? The equity argument needs to be applied fairly.
