Proposed  Electoral Redistribution

Dear Sir/Madam

This emai l   i s in opposition to the proposed el ectoral redistribution which will affect the electorate of Molonglo by dividing it in two sections. As a resident and voter l iving in the area, I  feel that there are common interests for those l i ving in the Inner North and it will be more difficu lt for these interests to be met if the Inner North is divided in two. The Inner North has many green spaces
which its residems would l ike to maintain. A lso, there has been discussion of urban densification  in
the areas both East and West ofNorthboume Avenue. I feel that as a single electorate the citizens in
Mol onglo will best be able to meet its citi zens interests.

G iven the increasing numbers of residents in the ACT, would it not be bener justi fied to i ncrease the numbers of representatives on the legislative assembly? This appears to be more preferable to me than d ividing the Molonglo electorate in order to provide G unghalin with a fairer proportion of representatives in the legislative assembly?

Thank you for you r consideration. Yours sincerel y,
Michael Thwaites
