A $25 million glasshouse

The Taxpayers’ Union has found out under the local government OIA that the all up cost of upgrading Begonia House in the Botanic Garden is $25 million.

I like Begonia House. The kids enjoying looking at the fish there. It is nice to see the plants.

But $25 million is an obscene amount to spend on a greenhouse. It is a nice to have, and with rates increasing 20%, can’t be justified.
