Good morning, Canberra. We're in for our coldest day of the year so far, with a chilly top of 9 degrees in store. Here’s what’s making news in the capital.
Coronation: The coronation took place amid a cost-of-living crisis and public scepticism, particularly among the young, about the role and relevance of the monarchy.
ACT politics: An ACT government agency sought funding from the Middle East to pay for infrastructure projects worth more than $2 billion, including a new stadium, light rail lines and a convention centre.
Public service: The federal government needs to do more to end the use of consultants, contractors and other external providers to undertake core public service work, the Community and Public Sector Union says.
Federal politics: There will be a $2.4 billion boost to revenue from the gas industry in a shake-up of the taxation of major liquefied natural gas projects announced by Treasurer Jim Chalmers.
Coronation: Buckingham Palace had earlier said Prince Andrew and Prince Harry would not have any formal role at the event as they are no longer working royals.
Coronation: Denis Woodham was a 20-year-old when he rang the bells in Cambridge for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953. Tonight he'll do it in Manuka for the King.
Federal politics: Opposition Leader Peter Dutton faces another byelection fight after former minister Stuart Robert announced his retirement from politics.
Opinion: Not sure about you, but I snuggled in to watch all of the coronation of King Charles III and Camilla as Queen Consort on the telly last night. Pooh-pooh it all you like, naysayers, but this was history, writes Megan Doherty.
Music | Feature: You'd be forgiven for thinking it was 2004, with singer Anthony Callea and former Australian Idol judge Ian "Dicko" Dickson back in the headlines.
