Good morning Valued Subscriber,
Public servants have had their annual chance to rate their agencies and their bosses, and for some agencies, it makes for ugly reading. Connor Pearce reports the Department of Veterans Affairs has been savaged by its staff in the latest APS census. Transport Canberra's long-awaited new bus and ticketing system kicks off today, but nearly $10 million of funds remains stranded on the now unusable older system, Steve Evans reports. Meanwhile there's been testy scenes at the Canberra Liberals annual general meeting this week. A Canberra Liberal presidential nominee made a protest speech before withdrawing his nomination, Lanie Tindale reports. And Canberra culinary favourite Monster Kitchen and Bar is kicking the vegetarian habit, reintroducing meat to its new menu for the first time in four years. But as Amy Martin reports, vegetarians need not despair, there's good news for you too on the new omnivore menu. There's a very high chance of rain and possible thunderstorms on Wednesday, with a forecast top temperature of 29 degrees. Scott Hannaford, deputy editor |
