Good morning Valued Subscriber,
"I was the one who made the error ... It should be criticism of me." Those were the words of Justice David Mossop who was in the unusual position of accepting blame over a sentencing mistake for a serial child abuser. Reporter Tim Piccione was in court on Tuesday for an emotional hearing into the re-sentencing of notorious paedophile Stephen Leonard Mitchell.
The ACT government was under fire on two fronts to do with costs. The first was the release of stadium costs that would put a city stadium among the most expensive stadiums in the world. Chris Dutton and Jasper Lindell report on the significant fallout of the figures, which include a 400 per cent blowout on the most recent cost estimate, as the Brumbies and Raiders react. Meanwhile, ACT Health was savaged by two audits, which found the rollout of the Digital Health Record was done without any real regard to costs. Lucy Bladen reports the program has experienced a $160 million cost blowout. For a change of pace, spend some time with Food & Wine this morning. Amy Martin has a dummies' guide to cheese - answering the burning questions like "what's the difference between camembert and brie?" and Chris Hansen reviews a restaurant that gives him an '80s flashback - in a good way. Today will be a windy and partly cloudy day with a top of 18 degrees after an overnight low of 10.6. John-Paul Moloney, managing editor |
