No more public “art” until the hospital is properly equipped, and even then, can we at least have some kind of public ballot ? Whoever is choosing it now seems to be pretty clueless. I would like to submit the Belco Owl and the “blue and red mechano set with a rock on top” as evidence.

I have a two pronged approach- put the money into Hospitals and schools. Get those elective surgery wait list times down. Ease accident and emergency departments.Shrink the super sized schools. Now i would like to see that. Provide more special education placements in primary and high school with appropriate staffing to reduce class ratios. Fund Youth drop in centres again.Help the troubled youth out there .

I agree with both of these.

Typical self-centred ignorance from John Moulis. “Forget about what can benefit the entire country and its future generations – I want taxpayers to focus on whichever bill I just received in my mailbox!”

Scare Quotes: a massive, towering sculpture of the word “art” surrounded by quotation marks.

No more money wasted on green schemes or renewable energy. No more climate change grants to green groups. Abolition of the Department of Climate Change and the sacking of its bureaucrats with their files marked “never to be re-employed”. Subsidies given to pensioners to ease the burden of CTP insurance.

Because the local ACT government has anything to do with the federal Department of Climate Change and because every person working for the Department of Climate Change must necessarily be incompetent by virtue of their working in this area.
