The Assembly has launched a new inquiry into how the ACT is governed. We know Canberrans have a lot to say about this (trust us, we read the comments), so here's what you need to know 👇ℹ

We want to hear from you about these issues:
🗳 How many MLAs do we need for fair representation and effective scrutiny?
👥 How many ministers do we need for effective government?
🏛 Does the ACT need an upper house or local councils?
📈 What impacts (costs, infrastructure) could come from any increases?

Submissions are open until Friday 30 October
