See You At Fed Square For The World Cup

Yesterday, Melbourne Arts Precinct decided that Fed Square won’t show Socceroos matches on the big screen.

I disagree with that decision – and I am overturning it.

The Government will ensure Fed Square has the support it needs to put on the matches this year.

We’re also looking at additional events and live sites, so Victorians have more options to watch.

Now more than ever, people deserve more free stuff to do together in the city.

There’s always a risk of bad behaviour from a few dickheads at every public gathering, but police and security will be on site, and there’ll be zero tolerance for it.

The World Cup should bring us together, not keep us apart.

Good luck Socceroos – Victoria is behind you.
