Greens leader and ACT government minister Shane Rattenbury says the government's budget needs to go further, faster to address the urgent challenges facing the Canberra community.
"The so-called cost-of-living announcements made by Andrew Barr just highlight how out of touch he is with no acknowledgement of how tough Canberrans are doing it at the moment," says Elizabeth Lee..
Ninety motorbikes have been stolen in the ACT so far this year and police are warning the number is still on the rise after the number of bike thefts almost doubled between 2022 (98) and 2023 (189).
On the day the Chief Minister delivers the ACT budget for the year ahead, Opposition Leader Elizabeth Lee has pointed to Andrew Barr's 150 broken promises over 13 years and his never having ever delivered a surplus.
"The ACT shows disregard for actual public service delivery. No wonder Canberrans throw up our hands and put up with dirty, litter-strewn, vandalised roads, parks and infrastructure," says letter writer G NIELSEN.
UPDATE, MONDAY PM: Police report that a 31-year-old man has been arrested in relation to the alleged incidents near Athllon Drive in Mawson on Saturday.
