ACT Labor realises the error of its ways
Newly appointed ACT Labor branch secretary Bill Redpath, says the ACT Labor Party has recognised the voter backlash in the recent election was due to the fact that they were not listening to the community on a broad range of issues.
Mr Redpath was quoted in the Canberra Times as saying that: “The electorate certainly sent a message saying that we weren’t listening.”
He conceded that the huge swing against ACT Labor in the recent elections was because the community was not happy with the way things were going. “The challenge is now to say to the electorate: ‘We got the message of the swing against us. We are going to listen and be a more responsive government’.” he said.
In this new mood of consultation perhaps the time has come for the ACT Government with their new partners the Greens, to review the way the attempted trashing of Revolve has been handled by ACT NoWaste.
“The Government needs to find a way out of this and quickly,” said Revolve Managing Director, Kay Hewitt. “Our legal case is rock solid – there have been so many appalling bureaucratic bungles and illegal practices - this government will be back in community bad books when we get this back into court and the media early in the new year ” she added.
“Our customers have been wonderful throughout this entire fiasco” said Ms Hewitt, “They have stuck with us through thick and thin and continue to support us. We know that the Government’s appalling choice in Aussie Junk has not worked at all. They are having a hard time because they don’t know how to work with the community.” she added.
“The sooner the government is prepared to sit down and talk the sooner we can get in there and solve this problem the bureaucrats have stupidly created and get our community services back in operation.”
Revolve is operating from its new site down near the Monaro Highway and through its Better Bits location near Stonehenge on Beltana Road at Pialligo.
Please support the new Revolve site by dropping off your goods at the new site at the junction of the Monaro Highway and Mugga Lane.
