'Snobby' Sydney elites slammed for stopping city from creating permanent monument dedicated to AC/DC


Sydney's so-called cultural 'elites' have come under fire for allegedly blocking efforts to properly honour one of Australia's most iconic rock bands, AC/DC.

'I think it’s time the government steps up and recognises the monumental achievement of the Young family in building Australia's most successful artistic act ever,' Mr. Buckingham said at a budget hearing. In December, the Sydney childhood home of AC/ DC legends Angus and Malcolm Young was demolished, in a move which infuriated music fans. The property, located in the Sydney suburb of Burwood, was the first Australian home of rockers Angus, Malcolm and George Young, after they moved to Australia from Scotland in 1963.
