Michael McLaren rebukes NSW Premier Chris Minns for comparing the potential sale of the historic Victoria Barracks to a neighbour clearing a boat off the street.

While acknowledging that everyone makes verbal slips, McLaren argues the comparison is “dopey” and “insensitive” given the site’s status as secular sacred ground and its deep connection to the soldiers who marched out of its gates to fight for Australia’s freedoms.

Michael McLaren and Liberal Senator Sarah Henderson condemn the Albanese government’s plan to sell off historic military sites like Victoria Barracks and Fort Queenscliff, calling it a “reckless” move that compromises national security and heritage for short-term budget fixes.
