Canberra Raiders fan Matt Ward's stadium petition gains 4,000 signatures; supported by ACT Liberals for formal inquiry.
Say you want a revolution? You better get it on right away, as John Lennon said.
And Canberra Raiders fan Matt Ward's efforts to put power to the people has been given an almighty boost in the ACT Legislative Assembly this past week.
Ward's online Change petition calling for a new or revamped Canberra Stadium has gained momentum with 4000 signatures, but the ACT Liberals have now sponsored the Raiders supporter in another, more formal e-petition lodged with the Assembly.
"I met with Matt Ward and he asked me to sponsor an Assembly e-petition calling for a review of the fitness of the stadium, and whether there is a need for a new one," Member for Ginninderra Peter Cain told The Canberra Times.
