The ACT Government needs to start to get serious about the enforcement of acceptable behaviour for disruptive tenants within Housing ACT, said Alistair Coe, Shadow Minister for Housing.

Jon Stanhope’s plan to close down all the government shopfronts except one in Civic is ill-conceived and another attack on services to Canberra’s families in the suburbs, said Alistair Coe, Shadow Minister for Urban Services.

After years of neglect and a lack of leadership, inefficiencies within ACTION are almost beyond the control of the Chief Minister and ACT Labor, according to the Shadow Minister for Transport Services, Alistair Coe.

Jon Stanhope has admitted he is unable to control his own Department’s spending while Canberrans pay massive taxes on homes and cars, said Alistair Coe, Shadow Minister for Transport Services.

I rise today to speak about a particularly active, sometimes in the unearthly hours of the day, group in Canberra and that is the dragon boat race community. Dragon boating is a sport which is growing in popularity and one that I have participated in on occasion and one that I have found particularly gruelling, I must admit, but one that I found very enjoyable as well. The Canberra Dragon Boat Association does a great job in facilitating the events in the capital and in sending people around Australia and abroad to compete in competitions.

I rise this evening to speak about the Canberra and Region Heritage Festival which has recently been held here in and around the capital. The festival was held from 10 to 24 April, and I would like to start by commending Gerhard Zatschler and his team for putting together what really was a very impressive program.
