I know that times are tough and that we’ve had to cut the cost of the new Anzac Station back to just under A$1Bn but I think it looks cheap.

Architects have told me that the extensive use of ‘forest friendly’ timber throughout helps ensures that the station receives a 17 star green rating. I also understand that the polycarbonate roofing has a ripple effect to match the corrugated iron commonly found in outback Australian dunnies of the 19th century…a strong link to our past.
