Good morning Valued Subscriber,
What happened after one of Canberra's best known law firms imploded in controversial circumstances? Lanie Tindale speaks with some of the key players who emerged from the scandalous demise of Ben Aulich's law firm as they set out to do things differently. The ACCC has been given a bigger stick to deal with supermarket price skulduggery. Bageshri Savyasachi reports the federal government has found $30 million to "crack down on dodgy supermarket practices".
Lawyers and alleged victims of workplace bullying and abuse in the public sector say the Commonwealth is using confidentiality clauses to silence those who have been mistreated. Dana Daniel reports on the practice that prevented people from being able to "shit-can the employer", no matter the circumstances.
And with two weeks until the ACT election, the promises are coming thick and fast. The latest include the Canberra Liberals' promise to deliver 7000 extra psychology, counselling and behavioural services for ACT schools and Labor's promise for a new bikeway in Belconnen and bigger household green bins, Lucy Bladen reports.
After an overnight low of 6 degrees, today will be a nice sunny day with a top of 22 degrees.
