What services do you believe are most important for the ACT? Health, Education & Transport
How can the ACT Government deliver current services more efficiently and productively or to better meet the needs of Canberrans?More money needs to be put into the health sector so more staff can be employed to service the growing demand on the health system. Waiting times at the ED at the Canberra Hospital are not acceptable. Education services need to be looked at, appropriate staffing for the early education sector leaves a lot to be desired.
Are there particular services that you think the ACT Government can improve?Vast improvement needs to be made with the transport system. Stop wasting money on the light rail and put more buses to serve the people in the suburbs with routes that are actually usable. Not just a token running some 800 mtrs - 1 k away from residents. Time tables also need to be looked at.
What can the ACT Government do to make Canberra even more liveable?Spend more money on the suburbs, tidy the place up and make it a place we would be proud to live in and show off to our interstate and international visitors. At the moment it looks very shabby, Gutters, median strips and drains with weeds growing out of them. People who don't mow their medium strip need to be asked to, it is part of living in a community and keeping the place tidy. Dead trees that need removing.
