24.01.2022 BELCO PARTY MEDIA RELEASE 18 September 2020 RATES AND FEES SHOULD BE EASY - BELCO PARTY PROMISES ... Today, Belco Party candidate Alan Tutt promised that if elected, the Belco Party would simplify rates and charges; this would include making rates a sole figure by incorporating the levies into the rates charge and reducing the late payment interest rate from 8.1% to no greater than 0.5% higher than the RBA cash rate. It is simply criminal that the banks charge between 1% and 2% interest and the ACT Government is charging 8.1%. Mr Tutt said. The commitment to lower fees would also include an allowance to every ACT registered vehicle of one free trailer load of waste to the tip each month, and free registration for up to two household pets per person. If elected, the Belco Party would also make a commitment to review all ACT Government fees and charges and simplify them. This comes on top of our commitment to lower car, bike, trailer, caravan and tradies vehicles to the lowest in the country. ACT residents are already paying substantial rates, so let’s allow them a little bit of respite by opening the tip up and doing things like making pet ownership more accessible. Mr Tutt said. Finally, the Belco Party would ensure the printing of rates bills and other Government collateral is printed in the ACT, to keep money in the local economy. Currently, rates bills are printed in Victoria. The ACT Government needs to put ACT businesses first. ACT businesses can be competitive, and they can provide world-class goods and services. Mr Tutt said. Contact: Alan Tutt M: 0414 447128 Alternative contact: Bill Stefaniak M: 0420 300 807

19.01.2022 BELCO PARTY MEDIA RELEASE 15 October 2020 SECURE OFF-STREET PARKING FOR TRUCKS - BELCO PARTY PROMISE... Belco Party candidate Angela Lount and Bill Stefanik announced today that they would provide for off street truck parking in Belconnen. "The ACT was first promised secure off-street parking for trucks in 1995. Now 25 years on nothing has changed " Ms. Lount said. "The Belco Party have looked at possible sites in the north of Canberra. There is a lot of unused government land. Why cannot some of that be fenced and a 24/7 secure truck and rig parking centre be established. It could be run by the ACT government or contracted out to a small business to run. A small fee for each vehicle could be charged along the lines of what once occurred near Parkwood'' Ms. Lount said. "Mr. Colin Mitchell can't park his truck on the verge at his home and he received $6,000 in parking fines the last time he tried. Previously truckies were able to get a parking permit to park on their nature strip and that should be reintroduced at the very least as an interim measure. Truckies are an essential part of our small business operations in the ACT. We as a community depend upon them. Not everyone rides a bike, nor does everyone live in the inner city. Are you listening Messrs. Rattenbury and Barr? asked Mr. Stefaniak. "If the Belco Party wins a seat at the on Saturday we will press whoever is the government to build as a matter of urgency, a secure truck parking station in the north of Canberra Ms. Lount said.

17.01.2022 What a joke! The Labor/Greens government has had 20 years to do something about this. Literally 2 decades. But now keeping our children safe is a last minute election carrot? ... https://www.canberratimes.com.au//labor-pledges-to-tackl/

17.01.2022 BELCO PARTY MEDIA RELEASE 17 September 2020 LET’S BUILD BETTER BUILDINGS - BELCO PARTY PROMISES Today, Belco Party candidate Chic Henry promised that if elected, the Belco Party would change building rules to ensure that rights of property purchasers are protected and that we build world-class buildings.... This commitment would include a change in the defect period on all new construction developments from 90 days to 365 days. A change that brings a new property purchasers rights into line with Commonwealth Consumer Law. It is just woeful that you can purchase a $10 toy and have 12 months of warranty, but one of the most expensive purchases an individual makes in their life only has 90 days of warranty. Mr Henry said. The Belco Party also announced that if elected it would reduce notification periods for single dwelling residential properties to 14 days, make it mandatory for all new developments of 10 or more dwellings to have a defibrillator and common area CCTV, as well as establish a new dedicated major developments team within the planning directorate to expedite the review of multi-unit developments. 30-day public notification made sense before the internet, but now, especially during COVID recovery, with proper oversight and backing, we need to speed these processes up to allow economic stimulation. Mr Henry said. After a spate of recent apartment robberies, having CCTV in multi-unit dwellings from the beginning will help gain critical evidence leading to arrests and will work as a serious deterrent to robberies. Defibrillators will help save lives; if the Belco Party is elected, we will look at what more the Government can do in this space including more public defibrillators. Mr Henry said.

13.01.2022 BELCO PARTY MEDIA RELEASE 30 September 2020 REBIRTH OF THE AIS & NEW STADIUM - BELCO PARTY PROMISES ... Today, Belco Party convenor and candidate Bill Stefaniak and fellow candidate Alan Tutt committed that if elected, the Belco Party would, together with the Commonwealth and the private sector, build a new world-class, international standard stadium as well as sports and events centre on the current footprint of the AIS. This commitment to a National Stadium and Events Complex would include a new 35,000-person stadium with a retractable roof, a new convention centre, and upgraded or new facilities for basketball, tennis, swimming, diving, ice sports, rugby league, athletics, rugby union and soccer. The commitment would cost between $500m - $950m to be funded by Public-Private Partnership between the ACT, Commonwealth and Private Sector. It would allow the ACT to host world-class events, and together with Manuka Oval would enable the ACT to argue for more sovereign teams in National competitions. I am thrilled to be announcing such a sensible option for Canberra’s long-term premier sporting future. Mr. Stefaniak said. The complex would also include a dining precinct, enhanced transport options including a future light rail link, and underground car-parking. The entire precinct, including CIT Bruce would be powered by renewable energy produced on-site. We will re-energise the complex and reestablish it as a world class sport training, sport science precinct. We wish to see it attract the world's best in all aspects of elite sport and its identification, training and management. The facilities in the precinct would provide the University of Canberra with partnership opportunities across sport studies, hospitality and tourism. This complex will support the Belconnen region and will have extensive flow-on effects into local businesses. Mr. Tutt said. This announcement comes on top of the Belco Party’s previous announcement to back community sport by providing each the family of each ACT high school student a $200 cashback for sporting expenses.

09.01.2022 BELCO PARTY MEDIA RELEASE 18 September 2020 BELCO PARTY WELCOMES MOVES TO SUPPORT CAR ENTHUSIASTS... Belco Party candidate Chic Henry today supported commitments from the Government to increase special vehicle license days to 60 days. This is something Canberra’s motoring enthusiasts have been calling on for years Mr Henry said. The Belco party would support this change if elected. I am disappointed though, that it is not yet in legislation and we just have the word of Mr Rattenburry that it will happen sometime in the future. He has had years to make this law and has not seen it as being important. Perhaps motorists are not on his list of priorities to help. Said Mr. Henry. He continued; I am also disappointed that the Government has not announced increased support to bring car rallies to Canberra. Our city is ideal for the likes of all the various car clubs like Volkswagen, Minis, Cadillac, Datsun clubs and the dozens of other clubs to have a weekend of touring. These rallies are important for tourism in Canberra. I would have liked to see the Government announce funding through Visit Canberra to support these events. I imagine the Council of ACT Motor Clubs would be happy to have talks with the Government about such opportunities. The Government could also be more forthcoming in supporting arrangements to allow easier access to suitable sites around the city for car displays and concourse events. Mr Henry also pointed out that the Belco Party had already promised it would reduce Canberra's vehicle and trailer registration fees. Also introducing a boat and PWC registration and licensing scheme for the ACT. We will also have the lowest licence fees and beat other state fees by 10%. We will make car, boat, trailer, truck, trailer, caravan, and PWC registration the lowest in the country. It's about time Canberrans got a break on excessive gouging by the Government, said Mr Henry. Canberrans pay excessive drivers licence fees. We will reduce licence fees to the lowest in the country at the same time. The Belco Party will deliver a lower cost of living to Canberrans, not just talk about it. Under the policy, hybrid vehicles would have a 25% registration discount and electric vehicles a 50% registration discount, Mr Henry said that this would make electric vehicles more accessible to Canberrans.

08.01.2022 OPEN LETTER TO MR STEEL - STOP STATE BASED HARASSMENT Bill Stefaniak, Belco Party Convenor and candidate for Ginninderra has called for an end to harassment by Government officers of election candidates. It is tough enough to stand up against this government as a candidate without harassment in the suburbs.... Mr Chic Henry was legally parked on the side of Belconnen Way at 8.am on Friday. He had his car decorated with approved signs and was standing beside his car. said Mr Stefaniak. A little after 8.00am, a Government truck with lights flashing pulled up a few hundred metres from Mr Henry. The government officer alighted from his truck walked to the centre of the road and then conspicuously took photos of Mr Henry. Why were Mr Henry's activities being photographed? Mr Henry was concerned that he may have committed some offence and was hoping to have the government officer speak to him. However the truck pulled away quickly and the officer took action to avoid Mr Henry. At the same time it is curious to see that the Government can flaunt its own electioneering rules. We have all seen the illegal activities of Greens on median strips of major roads. They even endangered road users by running all over the roadway in front of cars. They are not asked to stop but our candidates are intimidated when they behave safely and are not breaking any rules. One rule for the Government, another for the rest. Dear Mr Steel and Mr Rattenburry Please stop harassing our candidates for the ACT election. Please enforce rules on the illegal activities of your candidates and campaigners.

06.01.2022 BELCO PARTY MEDIA RELEASE 21 September 2020 MORE NURSES, FIRIES, PARAMEDICS, POLICE - BELCO PARTY PROMISE... Belco Party candidate Angela Lount announced today that if elected, the Belco Party would guarantee to increase the total number of frontline responders including firefighters, nurses, police and paramedics. Whatever the number of staff is on October 17 2020 we will increase every year to the next election in 2024. We will increase the numbers of frontline staff to the highest rate per capita in the nation. These key first responders keep us alive and protected and we need to recognise their role and support them in whatever ways we can. Increasing the numbers of these vital personnel on the frontline is a promise I am honoured to make on behalf of the Belco Party Ms Lount said With the threats revealed with the current pandemic we have never so badly needed more nurses to staff the hospitals and clinics. I speak to people in Belconnen everyday who do not feel safe in the street with the constant reports of bashings and bikie violence. We need more police. Fire is a year round threat in Canberra with winter house fires and summer bushfires part of our way of life. I give a big call out to our firies and tell them the Belco Party is here to support them. To attract the best people from around the country into these roles we will offer the highest national average wages. The Belco Party supports the public service and will work to provide the best resources and to achieve the best service outcomes for all Canberrans said Ms Lount.
