There’s an old idiom following elections of any description that ‘the voters never get it wrong’. While there’s usually only one victor in election results – ie, the political party that will form the government – the saying is a timely reminder that no matter what the result, the decision is made by the voters.

Canberra Liberals Leader Elizabeth Lee has today announced that a Canberra Liberals Government will increase funding to Kidsafe ACT by an additional $110,000 per year for four years. Ms Lee said the Canberra Liberals believe that supporting organisations that work to keep our children safe is crucial and there needs to be assurances and certainty they can keep providing such an important service.

Shadow Minister for Health Leanne Castley has labelled the ACT Health system a shambles under the watch of Rachel Stephen-Smith following reports that the Canberra Hospital has lost its training accreditation for Junior Doctors in orthopaedics. Ms Castley said this is just another example of the Minister having systematically ruined the health system with a number of departments having lost training accreditation throughout the term.
