Australia plans to sell Sydney’s historic Victoria Barracks, which is among 67 underused or vacant defence properties earmarked for sale. Retired Colonel Graham Flitton, chairman of the New South Wales Army Museum Foundation, called the decision “incomprehensible.” According to him, the barracks are the army’s “ancestral home.” The sale was also criticised by former prime ministers Paul Keating and John Howard, New South Wales Premier Chris Minns, and Australian Greens leader David.
