Good morning, Canberra. The rain will continue this morning but could ease this afternoon. There's a maximum of 15 degrees forecast today. Here’s what’s making news in the capital.
City news: Visitation is climbing but Canberra venue owners say it's still a constant battle as people "pick and choose" where they go out amid cost-of-living demands.

Technology: While current driver distraction technology can be manipulated or thrown off by a set of sunglasses, new systems can see beyond the lens and the trickery.
Court: A worker alleges racial discrimination against her included being called a "black slave" and told not to "burn the patrons your colour" in her additional role as a fire warden.
Canberra region: Farmers are struggling to access flooded paddocks to care for stock, as they share the hidden stresses of our third-straight La Nina season.
ACT politics: A parliamentary committee has told the ACT government that a logo design potentially politicises the ACT public service and it should ensure branding remains apolitical.
Video | What's on: Canberra PCYC is pulling out all stops for its big fundraiser in December: abseiling and ziplining down the 24-storey Lovett Tower in Woden and 75 Ferraris thrown in for good measure.
Sport: Mark McLinden is not the next David Pocock. The former Canberra Raider values activism rather than politics, and says it's hard to be a politician if you keep breaking the law.
