Good morning Valued Subscriber,
Another ACT election day has come and gone. And while some might say it's the same result as the past six elections when Labor took the win, this victory has a slightly different feel. As Assembly reporter Jasper Lindell reports, the Labor government will begin negotiations with a progressive crossbench to form government after a swing against Labor and The Greens dulled the atmosphere of both parties at their respective election functions early in the evening. And what's next for the Canberra Liberals now that they've lost another chance at government, facing near three decades of opposition? Lucy Bladen walks us through it this morning, as the party no doubt faces internal reckonings. If you've had your fill of election content (our subscribers gladly lapped it up into the wee hours of the morning today!) we've got plenty of weekend reads to distract you. Megan Doherty shares the story of Canberra's Lily Mackett, who's taking on the world "with a vengeance" and facing her biggest physical challenge since being hit by a speeding car in Dubai eight years ago. Plus good news for fans of The Office ... Lisa Rockman writes that the Australian version of the television phenomenon is just as cringeworthy - and bingeworthy - as its predecessors. Enjoy a sunny start to your Sunday as we head to a top of 26 with light winds about. |
