Statement by chair
MS CLAY (Ginninderra) (10.14): Pursuant to standing order 246A, I wish to make a statement on behalf of the Standing Committee on Planning, Transport and City Services relating to referred bills.

Of course that goes to the lack of services that we see in our health, in our education, in our community safety, in our police and in our infrastructure.
We do see these outcomes and they have real impacts on real Canberrans. Only this week, so many members from across all parties have talked about the absolute long-term neglect of basic local services that have resulted in so many potholes.
