Good morning Valued Subscriber,
The mother of a little girl who died at Canberra Hospital does not believe a coronial inquest held the medical professionals who failed her daughter accountable.

A chunk of the senior executive wing at the ANU has come out in support of embattled vice-chancellor Genevieve Bell and college deans after a week of intense scrutiny. Sarah Lansdown reports 11 of the uni's leadership wrote to all staff yesterday afternoon to criticise media reporting.
Climate 200 is backing a lower house candidate in Canberra, the first time the organisation has funded a challenge to a sitting federal Labor MP, Dana Daniel reports.
Also in federal politics, Jack Waterford rips into Anthony Albanese and his government over the "damn-fool idea" of propping up the two-party system to try to fend off the Greens, and Miriam Webber looks at how the public service is turning into a big target for Peter Dutton as the next election looms. It's going to be a warm and wet one today. There's a very high chance of showers earlier in the day and an expected top of 30 degrees. There's also a chance of a thunderstorm, possibly severe. I hope that forecast doesn't disrupt your weekend too much. John-Paul Moloney, managing editor |
