Nimbys sometimes have a case as they seek to exercise a rightful expression in public forums. But playing the “threat to mental health” card is a misstep by those opposing concerts at Allianz Stadium. (“It’s not music to our ears”, 6/7). Our fellow Sydneysiders are challenged by job insecurity, cost of living pressures, rental and mortgage stress, unedifying political leadership and depressing news from overseas. With the greatest of respect to the sensible people residing near our newest stadium, your mental health is looking pretty good relatively. I agree that concerts shouldn’t go too late. Otherwise, I’ve run out of sympathy. Alan Sexton, Parramatta. 7July2023.
