Stanhope says “…if we want our children and grandchildren to enjoy the same quality of life that we have enjoyed in Canberra, we must make some changes - and we must make them now.” (A Letter to the People of the ACT, John Stanhope)
How will our children be able to enjoy the quality of life we have in our community if it does not survive? How disgusting that Stanhope attempts to slash our quality of life and reduce choices for our children’s future and those who follow.
