Former Labor minister Stephen Conroy told Sky News host Peta Credlin he is “gobsmacked” by recent reports revealing the federal government spent 10 times the market value on a piece of land to be used for a Western Sydney Airport.

A report from the Australian National Audit Officer has revealed a block of land bought for nearly $30 million by the federal government in 2018 using taxpayer dollars was valued at about $3 million just one year later. The government purchased a 12.26 hectare piece of land in Leppington in July 2018 for $26.

7 million from the Leppington Pastoral Company to develop a second runway for the Western Sydney Airport in 30 years. Mr Conroy said the report made "no suggestion" Cabinet Minister Paul Fletcher, the urban infrastructure minister at the time, "had a clue" about the incorrect figures. “It goes on to say the information was not given to the minister,” Mr Conroy said.

Will it ever be safe to fly again? Nope.

No one in Australia should be 'gobsmacked' that this CanberraCriminalCabal empties the national vaults for their hyper-rich mates. You taxes hard at work enriching the filthy rich, delivered by cringing sycophant pollies.

Australian Politicians should collectively audition for Dumb and Dumber No3, or even better, a job picking oranges - they're the big orange things right in front of your face you idiots. LiberalAus YoungLibs AustralianLabor abcnews Corruption
