The reason I bring it again, Mr Deputy Speaker, is that this Labor-Greens government has failed to act. It has failed to act, and it is clear from the debate today that all those opposite want to do is pick political fights with a very important motion that I have brought to this chamber on behalf of the 38,000 Canberrans that are living in poverty, including 9,000 children. Shame on Labor and the Greens for once again putting their political alliance above the people of Canberra.

We will not be supporting Mr Barr’s amendment.
