Good morning Valued Subscriber,
We've seen plenty of shiny artist's impressions of what a new stadium could look like over the past 15 years. And now the Canberra Liberals have released their own vision for one. And while the location is in the city it's not where you might imagine, David Polkinghorne reports. Speaking of the Canberra Liberals, we reported a few weeks ago they were searching for an Andrew Barr lookalike to feature in an election attack ad. Well it seems the ad has been made, Lucy Bladen reports. You be the judge on the quality of the lookalike. If you're heading into the city this morning, it might pay to leave early. A farmer convoy coming to protest at Parliament is set to impact several major roads in Canberra's morning peak hour. In exciting news for history-lovers, the National Museum of Australia is planning a summer blockbuster exhibition based on relics from the ancient city of Pompeii. Sally Pryor writes many of the artifacts have never before left Europe.
In federal political news, the government has been urged to establish a new agency to focus on veteran wellbeing in ways the Department of Veterans' Affairs has failed to do. Miriam Webber reports it's not the only agency recommended in the 3000-page report released on Monday.
And in sport, Raiders fans are cheering the news Corey "Big Red" Horsburgh is staying put. Fresh from his match-winning kick-and-regather try on Saturday, he's decided to stick with his mates in green.
After a cool night with a low of 1 degree and patches of frost, we're looking at a pleasant, sunny day with a top of 20. John-Paul Moloney, managing editor |
