ACT Labor grateful for Canberra Labor Club assistance
 In a highly defamatory attack on the Labor Party this morning, Liberal Brendan Smyth hasincorrectly accused the party of breaching a law which he proposed last year but whichdoesn’t actually exist.

Mr Smyth has been a long-time politically-biased critic of the ACT’s community club systemand in particular the support the Canberra Labor Club has provided ACT Labor and manycommunity groups over the past 30 years.

The Labor Club was started 30 years ago, by a group of Labor Party members, some ofwhom mortgaged their homes, to create a community club that would support the Labor Partyand worthy community organisations. In 30 years it has grown to be one of the biggest clubgroups in Canberra, with around 50,000 members.

Notwithstanding the fact that it was established with the...

Exciting step forward as sites identified for new North Canberra Hospital
January 23, 2012 By Katy Gallagher 

Everyone has an interest in Health – whether you’re trying to stay healthy, managing a health condition, or caring for a loved one who’s unwell. That’s why it’s so important that we continue to invest in our public health services and plan new, contemporary facilities that enable our dedicated health workforce to deliver the best possible care – care that is appropriate for the 21st century.

Some of our health facilities are now a bit tired, others don’t suit the latest ways of providing health care. In response to this, we have invested upwards of $600 million in rebuilding our health and hospital system. There’s more to come on our Health Infrastructure Program (watch this space), but did you know that right now we’re...

Zed Still In Bed
ACT Labor candidate for Brindabella, Mick Gentleman has questioned Zed Seselja’s

commitment to leading an alternative ACT Government after he was unreachable to answer

questions about managing the ACT’s $4 billion budget.

 

Mr Gentleman said it was disappointing for the people of Canberra that the leader of the

opposition has failed to show up yet this election year – and is clearly not allowing his office to

speak in his continued absence.

 

“In an important discussion today on local jobs and the economy, no one from the Liberal

party was ‘available’. This simply confirms what we have known for a while – that Zed is still

in bed – and doesn’t trust any other member of the Liberal party to talk about their policies in

public,” Mr Gentleman...

ACT Labor to expand Nurse-led Walk-in Centres to Belconnen and Tuggeranong
Chief Minister Katy Gallagher announced today that a re-elected Labor Government will expand the nurse-led Walk-in Centre model to Belconnen and Tuggeranong.

“The ACT Labor Government has worked hard to deliver innovative solutions in health care. In May 2010, this Government opened Australia’s first ever public nurse-led Walk-in Centre at Canberra Hospital,” Ms Gallagher said.

“Since then, the Centre has treated more than 15,000 people, filling a gap in the delivery of free, extended hours health care in Canberra.

“For some families, the cost of accessing after-hours health services is a significant burden when faced with an unexpected accident, illness or injury. Low bulk billing rates also add to that pressure, so the Walk-in Centre has filled a gap for some...
