Greens launch election campaign

THE ACT Greens have unveiled their official campaign, promising a “healthier, more liveable and better connected” Canberra. 

ACT Greens Leader Meredith Hunter says the Greens are taking to the people of the ACT “a record of getting things done.”

“I believe that our record of delivering outcomes, putting issues on the agenda and outlining a clear vision for the future of our city gives the Canberra community every reason to vote Green on election day,” Ms Hunter said.

The party announced a $31 million bus transport package,  with a range of initiatives from more frequent commuter and school bus services, to the trialling of green bus technologies:

Transport spokeswoman Amanda Bresnan also committed $3 million for more school bus services, $3 million for bus services in new suburbs and $2.7 million to begin introducing a hybrid and electric bus fleet.

The party also committed to $770,000 for diesel particulate filters in all ACTION buses for cleaner and healthier air.
