They're reducing infrastructure charges by 75%, not that long after they were whinging in Council about how the State Government had capped what the infrastructure charges were allowed to be.

To quote Elizabeth Watson-Brown, federal Member for Ryan:

Remember this next time Council says ‘oh sorry we don’t have budget for that new bus route’, ‘we can’t afford that upgrade to your skate park’, ‘there’s no money for expanded public parkland’.
