2010 Federal Election policies and cycling summary (August 2010) |
The Cycling Promotion Fund contacted both of the major parties,
requesting they clarify their position and commitment to cycling (refer to letter here) and have received a response from the ALP (response here)
which spoke strongly about the funding they delivered to cycling
infrastructure through the $40 million bike path stimulus, it did
unfortunately give little indication of any further commitment.
We are yet to receive a response from the Coalition.
To support the information provided to us, the CPF has compiled a
list of policies announced by the ALP, the Coalition and The Greens.
From this table, the Greens have demonstrated considerable support for
Active Transport (which includes cycling) along with many environmental
improvements from which cycling will benefit. The obvious and
disappointing element has been the distinct lack of any commitment or
recognition of cycling in either the ALP or Coalition policies announced
to date.
