Greenslabor gaslight the community – again

I have written before that what ACT government politicians value is reflected in how they spend our money.

Trams or social and affordable housing? Trams, of course, with many people denied a roof over their heads.

Trams or reducing homelessness? Trams provide photo-ops for the chief minister – so that was easy.

Trams or parks, greenery and biodiversity? That Bush Capital is a thing of the past, so more trams.

Real housing options such as detached housing or town houses – or trams? I could go on, but you get the picture.

The Greenslabor priorities are about creating tram corridors for developers to do their thing with as minimal planet and people-focused planning restrictions.

While the day-to-day political decision making is confronting enough, the real insult comes when these well-paid comfortable ACT politicians explain away their own mess and neglect.

Not too many years ago I heard Greenslabor collectively scream at the ACT opposition who had the presumption to suggest that there should be a tram stop in Mitchell. One was not planned and such an idea was clearly idiotic according to the Greenslabor ministers. T

hat Mitchell stop is now in place, say no more. This may have been a small matter for some – but it demonstrates how this lot behaves. Look how they scoffed when the opposition presented the hard evidence on the lack of social-housing expenditure.
