To the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly for the
Australian Capital Territory
This petition of residents of the Australian Capital Territory draws to the attention of the Assembly the following:
- The tram caused over $400 million to be ripped out of hospitals, and nearly $90 million from road funding.
- Rates have increased at record levels.
- The ACT has a critical teacher shortage, longest hospital waiting times in Australia, lowest number of police per capita and massive debt.
- Trams are much slower than existing buses, and electric buses are more affordable and environmentally friendly.
- The funding could be better spent on better hospitals, better roads, more police and better schools.
Your petitioners therefore request the Assembly to call on the Government to:
1. Stop Light Rail Project 2B.
