Frank to stand for Molonglo
Since my announcement that I would not be seeking re-election to Queanbeyan City Council, I have had a number of approaches from residents of the ACT suggesting that i nominate for the ACT Assembly.
Like many residents of the ACT and surrounding districts, I have been observing the decline of services, lack of proper and long term planning, and provision of services in the ACT.
As a result, I have decided to nominate as an Independent for the seat of Molonglo.

Canberra Politics
Many decisions made by the current ACT Government have been good, but some decisions have been very unpopular and poorly thought out. Lately, there seems to be “token consultation” with the community on many issues.
There is almost a touch of arrogance creeping in to the way the current Government approaches its citizens. I can't support school closures, which were poorly handled, as was the closure of the Griffith library; there was a debacle over the Gungahlin Drive Extension and the Tharwa Bridge was handled no better..
And the Opposition doesn't fair any better. They haven't made any inroads as a viable alternative. At the local government level, we need candidates who will focus on serving the needs of the community and not serving the needs of their faction.
As an independent candidate, I will be concentrating on people issues not party political concerns.
