A new front opens in the electoral war with the normally Labor friendly “Canberra Loves 40%” giving Andrew Barr a serious kicking over perceived failings in his support for light rail.
Canberra Loves 40% spokesperson Phoebe Howe said, “The Minister’s response is very concerning and brings into question the capabilities of the ACT Treasurer, and whether the ACT Government can agree on their own priorities.”
“For years now, Canberrans have heard regularly from the ACT Government about the cost of Light Rail. If a Canberra resident writes to the Minister asking them to support Light Rail, they deserve better than a response implying that they haven’t thought about the expense.”
Having got our attention they let us know that this Thursday they’re holding a transport forum with Simon Corbell.
