Stadium down to nuts and bolts

Although there were no injuries last time Mayor Chin posed for an action photo using machinery, the skill level he demonstrated, showed that he should be kept well clear of even the simplest of machines, even one such as the spanner shown above. He seems capable in many areas, but he should avoid machinery and financial decisions.

Sadly while Chin and Farry are busy tightening nuts at the stadium the city's state continues to worsen - this year the solution to the ridiculous rates rises was to put them off until next year because it isn't an election year.
If you want to get elected, work on a real plan - something to make sure our debt doesn't spiral out of control, something to make sure we can afford the billion dollars to maintain our water system and something to make sure our rates only go up at the same rate as inflation. That's the sort of thing we want from a politician, not just photo ops. [Abridged]

Pouring is not restricted simply to liquids; anything that can flow under gravity can be considered as being poured.
You are correct though in that they did mean concrete. Pointing this out does not really achieve much though, as most layman (due in my experience to the American use of the term cement) would not differentiate between concrete and cement anyway.

This comes across very much like grasping at straws to poke holes in anything to do with the stadium.

The stadium itself is controversial enough. So at least the technique should be described correctly. Pouring cement is quite difficult as it is not liquid but silty (dusty). So in this article it should instead read 'concrete has been poured'.
