As has been clearly outlined by the government throughout this week, we are focused on delivering for the ACT community, through the sustainable growth of our economy, protection of jobs, the building of infrastructure for the future, the enabling of a vibrant cultural and social life in our city, and providing opportunity and care for all Canberrans, but particularly those doing it tough.

This bill provides further funding to enable us to achieve these aims to build and transform Canberra. I commend the Appropriation Bill 2013-14 (No 2) to the Assembly.
