Pedal Power applauds vision, looks for $$ in Libs' bike plan

Why would anybody need to show figures attached to election promises? Labor has set the precedent with un-costed promises for light rail. Why should a cycling infrastructure policy have to be shown as affordable when apparently most of Canberra, including Pedal Power A.C.T, already gave the green light to a project that has no limits? If Liberals must announce budget figures for this, then Labor/Greens have to give us at least an estimate [to the nearest billion dollars will suffice] of the cost to ratepayers for the next stage/s of the tram project.

To be fair, that is the only uncosted policy from Labor or Greens, the rest have all been costed. Some of the Libs policies have been costed but an alarmingly large number have not.

I would vote for a policy that all costings for the election need to be released before prepolling is open. I specifically won’t be voting until the I see the Liberal’s costing on Tuesday (prepolling because I am away on the weekend).
