Jo Clay MLA","description":"2022 has been a big year in the Clay office and I wanted to catch you all up one what we\u2019ve been doing: \u2013 We\u2019ve succeeded in getting the right to a healthy environment into the ACT Human Rights Act. \u2013 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. \u2013 We changed the law to increase the penalties for drivers who harm vulnerable road users. \u2013 We\u2019ve put the heat onto the horse racing industry over the millions they receive in ACT taxpayer subsidies. \u2013 There\u2019s now a plan in place to change fruit netting to a standard that doesn\u2019t harm flying foxes. \u2013 I released a discussion paper on the circular economy to help us reduce waste and environmental impacts. \u2013 We\u2019ve lodged an opposition to the proposed Tarago industrial waste incinerator and supported the community campaign against that facility. \u2013 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!
