Good morning Valued Subscriber,
The Beam is over. Canberra's purple phase is coming to an end. Yes, the second of two public e-scooter operators has been kicked out of the territory with their last customer rides happening on Sunday. Beam has been told to pack up and move out after it was discovered it was operating more of its purple scooters than it was licensed to, Steve Evans writes. Lanie Tindale writes about what is perhaps best known for a drive-through Maccas, elusive city parking spots, and a shortcut to avoid traffic lights. Braddon's once-neglected Mort Street has had a makeover and big plans.
Our young but very busy corruption watchdog found a former territory public servant had engaged in "reprehensible conduct" but the details of the report will remain secret, Lucy Bladen reports. The existence of the secret report was revealed after an Assembly committee conducted an inquiry into the watchdog's findings. Aussie super funds have been told to do better at making superannuation sexy for millennials, Brittney Levinson reports. A roundtable found the language around superannuation was outdated and disengaging, which was hurting people in the long run. And in sport, our team reports on the weird and wonderful contract situation for one of our women's soccer stars, while Alex De Minaur bombed out with a quarter finals defeat at the US Open overnight. As for the Paralympics, Karen Hardy has this morning's headlines, including a golden day in the pool for Alexa Leary.
If you feel like taking a purple scooter ride for old time's sake, today would be a good day. We're in for a sunny day and a top of 22 degrees. John-Paul Moloney, managing editor |
