The Rudd Labor Government has approved some 3,600 community infrastructure projects around Australia, and already signed contracts and delivered funding through the first round of the Community Infrastructure Program.
The Leader of the Opposition, Malcolm Turnbull should stop misleading the community. The facts are as follows:
The Liberal and National Parties voted against the Community Infrastructure Program, calling it “low-quality spending”.
Mr Turnbull did not even bother to show up to the inaugural meeting of the Australian Council of Local Government, which was held in Parliament House last year.
In contrast, the Rudd Government recognises the importance of local communities and local governments in delivering stimulus to local economies.
Work has already started on a number of projects across the nation. We are funding projects across the nation including community halls, sports grounds, swimming pools, CBD and main street improvements, parks and playgrounds.
Funding has already been delivered for projects that include:
