NoWestConnex: Public Transport – Senate Motion Passed


On Wednesday, the Australian Senate passed a joint ALP-Greens motion also calling for the Commonwealth Auditor-General to investigate westCONnex. 

This would not have happened without the support of all of you who signed our petition or encouraged the Shadow Minister for Infrastructure (and member for Grayndler), Anthony Albanese, to call for this federal audit - so thank you!

The Senate motion does not compel the Auditor-General to conduct the audit, but it certainly moves us closer. It also signals Labor's willingness to listen to the community and act more strongly against WestConnex.

We've now got more than 2,000 signatures, so let's keep building pressure for the audit - if you've signed the petition and shared it on Facebook, then take the next step and download a hard copy and collect some signatures from your friends, neighbours or workmates.

And let's show Labor that we're paying attention and we care - take 2 minutes to call or email Anthony Albanese's office and thank him for supporting the federal audit: 9564 3588 a.albanese.mp@aph.gov.au.

Power to you,
