What services do you believe are most important for the ACT? Early childhood welfare, and Public school education. Measures to improve fitness and health, in order to reduce overall health costs. Effective and efficient regulation - including of the construction sector.
How can the ACT Government deliver current services more efficiently and productively or to better meet the needs of Canberrans?Conduct a serious and transparent review of current services - for example, compare and contrast ACT's services with other jurisdictions.
Are there particular services that you think the ACT Government can improve?What do you mean by improve? The Government can improve almost any service - however that ignores cost. I think improving the delivery of 'general administrative services' (think about the ACT Public service, excluding front line school and health workers) is an area worth a serious review.
What can the ACT Government do to make Canberra even more liveable?Reduce the growth rate in the cost of living - for example, rates, utilities.
