Good morning Valued Subscriber,
Chris Steel didn't plan on having a baby in election year. But timing in politics is notoriously unpredictable, writes Sally Pryor. The ACT minister, along with partner of 13 years Kurt, says a four-year battle to start a family was worth it after welcoming someone "a little bit perfect" into their lives. A happy first Father's Day to Chris and Kurt, and to all the great Canberra dads out there. Megan Doherty has penned a touching tribute to her late father Kevin, which will no doubt strike a chord with those of us missing that special someone today.
The ACT government has offered sympathy and reassurance after the death of an Aboriginal man, the second death in custody at Canberra's jail in the past five weeks, reports Bageshri Savyasachi. The government says it will cooperate with a coronial inquiry into the death. A former chief minister of the ACT, Gary Humphries, in an opinion piece today has implored officials to get to the root cause of the territory's high recidivism rate, and why inmates choose to self-harm.
On the sporting front, the Raiders' hopes of upsetting the Roosters in Sydney today have suffered a huge blow, writes David Polkinghorne. Jamal Fogarty will miss the key match, although Canberra's top-eight bid did receive a welcome boost when the Dragons suffered a shock loss to Parramatta on Saturday. We're in for a windy day with a sunny top of 18 degrees. Have a great Sunday. |
