It didn’t go well for the Minister…

Ray Hadley has blasted the “snobbish, elitist” decision to shut down tourist shops at The Rocks in Sydney.

A number of retail stores in the area have been told to shut up shop, because they attract too many tourists.

Ray told the NSW Minister for Finance, Service and Property Victor Dominello successful small businesses should be supported by a Coalition government.

“He’s made a go of it, but it doesn’t suit some arty-farty poll you’ve done.

“That’s not fair, and never will you convince me that it is.”

Ray said the reasons given by the Minister were “a lot of crap”.
