Free with any Opera House rental!
Now that the dust has settled after the Forbes conference of business leaders at the Opera House in August and September, it's time to look at the bills. The Greens MP Ian Cohen has been asking some niggling questions at a budget estimates committee, and says expenditure on the event amounts to a scandal.
The Opera House was hired for $100,000 by Forbes Inc. This was offset by rental waivers totalling $31,836 provided to retail outlets that closed during the conference, a loss of revenue of about $40,000 and "other operating costs" of $34,936. On figures so far provided by the State Government, this equals a net loss to the Opera House of $6772 for hosting the shindig.

Tax payers of NSW I hope you enjoyed giving Forbes Inc. a tender, loving handjob, I bet they did.
