A number of contradictions in the planning of a new, relocated powerhouse museum have been exposed in the fifth hearing of the Inquiry into Museums and Galleries.
Greens MP Jamie Parker said any talk of a commercial agreement for the museum is due to the extreme costs involved in relocating the venue.
“If there’s to be a museum which is even close to replicating the size and the scale of the existing Powerhouse, then it’s no surprise they’re scrambling for ideas and funds to keep this foolish proposal afloat,” he said.
