Opposition Leader Chris Minns has vowed to take away charges for tickets to public vantage factors as some households fork out tons of of {dollars} for the view.
More than 45,000 persons are having to pay to observe the fireworks round Sydney Harbour this yr, with some being slugged as much as $595 for tickets.
Now the opposition desires to make the New Year’s Eve fireworks free for all once more, by stripping the prices from particular areas.
“We have the most beautiful harbour and the most beautiful city, and every person should be able to enjoy it – for free,” Minns stated.
“That’s what Labor will do if we are elected.
“No matter the place you watch the fireworks round our harbour, it will likely be free.”
Deputy Labor leader Prue Car said with all the pressures on family budgets due to the rising cost of living, New Year’s Eve celebrations shouldn’t come at a cost.
”Families need to rejoice the New Year with out worrying about extra prices to the household funds,” she said.
Premier Dominic Perrottet called the pledge “embarrassing” and claimed there were plenty of free vantage points around the harbour.
”If that is their huge election coverage, I imply it is bread and circuses,” he said.
“More than half the ticketed preparations across the harbour are free plus all the opposite vantage factors.”
