Simon Corbell has announced that the ACT Government is going to contribute $20,000 to repair the vandalised gravestones at St Johns in Reid.
Mr Corbell said as Minister responsible for heritage matters, and as a citizen of this city, I was dismayed to see the mindless destruction of these historic gravesites.
“While it is difficult to quantify at this stage what steps can be taken to restore these gravesites and repair the damage that has been done, the Government will offer $20,000 to assist with any measures which may be identified as suitable.
“I have asked the Heritage unit in my portfolio to liaise with the Church in this regard.
