People are being asked to snap photos of offending signs and report them to Keep Australia Beautiful’s LITTLE Committee … of young anti-litter crusaders, who will take up the case with the relevant candidate or political party.
“Election signs are known to get blown off telegraph poles in windy weather, or just deteriorate so they become litter items by the sides of roads, train lines and in the street.” … “Candidates need to set an example and remember to clean up after themselves.”
The article directs people to dob in offending political people to Keep Australia Beautiful’s LITTLE Committee Facebook page. So again I ask the Canberra Liberals to do the right thing and remove the unsightly campaign signs that are, indeed, littering Tuggeranong valley. I note Ms Lawder has made an effort; however, with no disrespect to Ms Lawder, the effort is not enough. The signs remain and continue to litter Tuggeranong valley.
As I understand it, these are illegally posted signs. I could be wrong—and I probably should get formal advice on this—but, as I understand it, they are illegal signs. As such, the Canberra Liberals could be facing fines of $1,000 for individuals and $5,000 for businesses. So, I say again to Ms Lawder, to Brendan Smyth and to Mr Wall: please do the right thing and clean up after the Canberra Liberals.
Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 4.46pm until Tuesday, 26 November at 10 am.
