Nicole Kidman has sparked off rumours in her native city of Sydney, Australia. The actress angered locals because she moored her million dollar yacht outside an exclusive apartment block which she no longer owns. The locals lodged complaints against Kidman.

Nicole Kidman had already moved out of her exclusive harbourside home nearly a year ago. But her £2.1 million yacht has remained in the nearby marina. There are laws that say that the residents only can moor their boats in the marina vicinity. The locals have accused the government of turning partial and blind eye to the breach of law by Kidman.

A spokesperson for Kidman told the Sydney Morning Herald that the yacht had been left in the marina because the star had planned on buying another property on site, which did not happen. The spokesperson said that Kidman was not being spared by the law. The Kidman representative also said that the yacht would be removed from the spot next week.

Wally Paterson, an advisor to the owners’ corporation said he was “…absolutely adamant that everyone gets treated equally no matter who or what they are”. Residents of the Pier 6/7 block in Walsh Bay, Sydney, are reportedly angry that Kidman, who recently sold her apartment there, has been allowed to keep her luxury boat, the Hokulani, tied up outside. Locals started campaigning against government’s inaction. They insisted that the vessel be removed immediately. They also alleged that the estate’s committee has been overly linient on Kidman because of her star status.

Nicole’s spokesperson denied all such preferential treatment allegations : the governing committee “would never do anything just because it’s her”.
