"The NSW government scrapped plans for the state’s first dedicated Indigenous cultural centre [Buruk] at Barangaroo after former prime minister Paul Keating made a private pitch to senior cabinet ministers for a different idea ...

"Buruk taskforce member Wesley Enoch said the failure to bring an Indigenous centre at Barangaroo to fruition was a reminder of how power structures worked against Indigenous people.

“Conversations have been going on since Barangaroo was conceived that there be an Indigenous space there and the fact it isn’t is a huge disappointment,” he said."
