Good morning Valued Subscriber,
Just how much is Andrew Barr paid each year? ACT Assembly reporter Jasper Lindell reports on the latest remuneration figures for the ACT's politicians, as well as the odd suggestion Canberra is a virtual "warzone".
On the federal election front, Jack Waterford writes how "tough man" Peter Dutton isn't looking so strong and decisive right now, Dana Daniel runs a critical eye over the Coalition's cost-cutting promises and Brittney Levinson weighs up both parties' housing promises. They're the inconspicuous buildings dotted around Canberra, but they are big moneymakers and important to many of our lives. Lucinda Garbutt-Young reports on the boom business of data centres.
A Canberra family has been left shaken after burglars ransacked their home in search of the keys to an "unrideable" motorcycle before reassembling it and rolling it onto a waiting ute, Petlee Peter reports. It'll be a night for multi-screening for Canberra's footy fans with the Brumbies away against the Reds and the Raiders up in Darwin to play the Eels at exactly the same time tonight. To whet your appetite, David Polkinghorne updates on the Green Machine's big contracting unknown. And a huge congrats to Canberra United's Michelle Heyman, who makes history today by playing her 200th A-League women's match. Melanie Dinjaski reports on the mighty feat. Enjoy what's shaping up to be a lovely weekend. Today will be mostly sunny with a forecast top of 26 degrees. John-Paul Moloney, managing editor |
