Canberrans ‘fed up’ with rate rises

Alistair Coe
THE Canberra Liberals will fight against any attempts by ACT Labor to scuttle a vital inquiry into the way its aggressive rates regime is hurting the lives of many Canberrans, says Leader of the Opposition Alistair Coe. 

“There is a groundswell of Canberrans who are absolutely fed up with Labor’s rates rises,” Mr Coe says. 

“Instead the promised ‘fairer’ system, Canberrans are describing ACT Labor’s rates regime as a ‘gross misuse of power’, a ‘grave injustice’ and ‘totally unfair’.  

“I’m not surprised ACT Labor is trying to scuttle dissent yet again.

“The rates issue is of enormous importance to a large number of Canberrans and it is entirely appropriate that they get a chance to have their say.”
