Skewed views over the value of Barangaroo

If there was any doubt the Tourism and Transport Forum is incapable of providing rational insight into the future of NSW, John Lee (Letters, February 21) has dispelled it once and for all.

Mr Lee says ''the economy of Sydney and NSW is relying on the 6000 permanent new jobs'' generated by Barangaroo (a woolly predicted number at best).

Really? Can we seriously believe 6000 new jobs are all that stand between a robust NSW economy and potential ruin? What about the other several million of us who will never have anything to do with Barangaroo? Don't we count when it comes to the economy of NSW?

Please, drop the hyperbole and face the fact that many Sydneysiders see no benefit from the proposal. All they see is an ugly cash cow for a developer.
