Episode Synopsis

2022 has been a big year in the Clay office and I wanted to catch you all up one what we've been doing: – We've succeeded in getting the right to a healthy environment into the ACT Human Rights Act. – We released an active travel discussion paper to kick off a conversation about what we can do to encourage Canberrans to leave their cars behind. – We changed the law to increase the penalties for drivers who harm vulnerable road users. – We've put the heat onto the horse racing industry over the millions they receive in ACT taxpayer subsidies. – There's now a plan in place to change fruit netting to a standard that doesn't harm flying foxes. – I released a discussion paper on the circular economy to help us reduce waste and environmental impacts. – We've lodged an opposition to the proposed Tarago industrial waste incinerator and supported the community campaign against that facility. – The needs of the mountain biking community are back on the agenda thanks to our advocacy. Heading into 2023 I hope you have a really restful break with your friends and family and enjoy a happy Christmas!
