A BETTER TOMORROW
Throughout this campaign I have met so many people, discussed so many issues and been carefully
considering how we can work towards making this city the best it can possibility be, to support
everyone in this wonderful community.

So it fills be with great pride that today I am so pleased to unveil my detailed plan and costings for
supporting and ensuring Canberra is the best city it can possibly be.

Infrastructure $1.5 billion

Education $1.5 billion
Healthcare $1.0 billion
Cultural Amenities $1.0 billion
Community Services $500 million
Civic Development $500 million

In all, our plan will cost $6 billion and will be the largest single financial commitment to supporting
the ACT in history. It will give a cash strapped ACT Government the funds they need to help deliver
on vital projects and support Canberrans in future.

I believe that with these investments and supporting Canberra we can deliver quality services for our
community ensuring that everyone can get a good education, see a doctor when they’re not well,
get a job, start a business and more. I believe that with your support we can deliver for our
community so that every Canberran can enjoy the greatest quality of life possible in capital of this
great nation.

So please support me in helping make Canberra the greatest city in Australia!
