The Liberals are using an Abbott-style scare campaign about your rates.

ACT Labor has changed the rates system to make it fairer, and cut stamp duty to make housing more affordable.

For 33,700 Canberra households rates have gone down.

For others, the average rate increase is $2.35 a week as wages continue to rise and other taxes are cut.

The Seselja Liberals quote a table from the Quinlan tax review but that table was rejected by Government, and does not form part of the rates policy.

The Liberals are peddling a desperate lie, based on a rejected table to cover the fact they have no plan, except to cut jobs.

The Liberals don't even believe their own lies

Mr Smyth was asked on ABC radio if rates were going down for any households under the government reforms:
