Petition updateBring the Tiger Bus Back!

Some New Supporters

Hello again everyone! The local elections are approaching (by postal ballot during October) and we're ramping up our campaign as a result! Launceston City Council needs to elect a group of people willing to fight for better transport in our city, especially to return the Free Tiger Bus. In a moment I'll introduce all the candidates who have officially supported our movement, and will fight for a returned Tiger bus. This is not an endorsement of these candidates, as some of these may have other viewpoints that I or others disagree with. Please remember politicians can be a bit snakey at times, and may not tell the truth. Remember to vote responsibly, and as we get to the closure of nominations for the election next month I will put up a full list of candidates and who I personally reccommend a vote for.

CANDIDATES WHO SUPPORT A RETURNED TIGER BUS

Melissa Anderson - Independent for Councillor

Frank Rosol - Greens for Councillor

Rose Diamond - Independent for Mayor & Councillor

Kyle Barrett - Independent for Mayor & Councillor

Candidates/incumbents who have indicated potential support for a returned Tiger Bus

Matthew Garwood - incumbent Independent Mayor & Councillor

Joe Pentridge - incumbent Independent Councillor

Tim Walker - incumbent Independent Councillor

I hope this helps some of you. If you want to reach out to me (as a candidate, community organiser or as a resident of Launceston or surrounds) contact me at my email, or my Instagram. Thank you, and have a good day!
