Despite the worsening cost of living crisis, Andrew Barr has in the recent ACT budget, imposed even more pain for Canberrans.

This is absolutely laughable, nobody south of Hindmarsh Drive will believe a single word of it.

This issue confirms that there is a lack of Ministerial oversight on how Canberrans money is being spent.

A Canberra Liberals Government will re-prioritise community safety through boosting our police force, building a stronger justice system, and bringing our laws back into line with community expectation.

The Minister has once again demonstrated that he is not fit to lead or appropriately administer these types of projects.

If the Integrity Commissioner thinks there are grounds for an investigation into lobbying of public servants and politicians in the ACT it makes Andrew Barr’s comments this week even more extraordinary.

It is disgraceful that Ms Cover who was found by the Integrity Commissioner to have engaged in ‘serious corrupt conduct’ has been paid over $1.2 million by Canberra taxpayers.

The inability of the Minister to answer basic questions about her portfolio’s budget and structure raises significant doubts regarding her competency in the role.

Worryingly, Mr Bowles confirmed that they are seeing more and more people accessing their services for the first time.

A Canberra Liberals government will increase access to services which support veterans and their families in the ACT that includes a specific veterans community facility.

Andrew Barr has gone missing this week; he has not fronted the public to answer questions on these serious issues; and he has failed to confirm if he will suspend affiliation with the CFMEU.

The documents show there was a difference of over 11,000 between the Health Directorate’s and CHS’ figures of Walk-in Centre throughput.

We have seen a number of state leaders in other jurisdictions take action on this issue including suspending affiliations with the CFMEU but all Andrew Barr has done is dodge and deflect.

Andrew Barr must come out publicly and confirm whether he supports this extraordinary push by the ACT branches of the CFMEU and the CPSU seeking even more influence over ACT government procurements and the appointment of senior ACT public servants.

The Health Minister was up to her eyeballs in this. While accusing the Canberra Liberals of not supporting nurse-led Walk-in Centres, the Health Minister was herself clearly walking away from them.

Instead of providing much needed relief for all Canberra households, Andrew Barr has slugged them even further with a number of increases to taxes and charges.

The budget is once again littered with re-announcements of previous budget and election promises that he has failed to deliver.
