Tuggeranong needs own hospital
from CityNews 230126
I’M with Tim Walshaw, of Watson (Letters, CN December 22), regarding the foolish action of Labor/Greens going ahead with this blatant waste of taxpayers’ money, on Stage 2 of light rail.
Apparently common sense no longer rules in this mob.
As the Belco Party’s Bill Stefaniak welcomed Opposition Leader Elizabeth Lee slamming this outlandish project, particularly when there’s no business case, I couldn’t agree more with both of them.
The Liberals need to keep the pressure up on this “never-wrong mob” as the majority of Canberrans clearly want billions spent on more police, hospitals, roads and our homeless!
As for the mention of hospitals, Tuggeranong is in desperate need of its own hospital, even before the Canberra Hospital expansion.
It makes perfect sense to construct a new Southside Hospital in Tuggeranong, where there is plenty of land and plenty of car-parking space.
Tim Walshaw was spot on with his assessment of this as well.
