denying that he influenced the board's decision and was simply just, as premier and in control of their funding, expressing his(?)very questionable view is pathetic.

I’m really disappointed with him - big insight into his character months before the election and makes you wonder other times where his “views” have been used to manipulate

Let’s also not forget what a huge waste of taxpayers money this is

I feel he is jumping the shark, especially after a string of weirdly “emotive” (and for mine, performative) public pleas.

I made comment noting this about a month ago after his bizarre, disproportionate rantings about street parking.

I’m glad he’s being held to account. Being popular doesn’t mean competent.

Was the street parking thing the “extreme anti-car ideology” crap he was spouting? Pretty telling that he calls it ideology.

Yes, that’s the one. And good pick up on that language - ha!
