Good morning Valued Subscriber,
You've heard of a pub with no beer. Well, the ANU could soon be providing a medical centre with no doctors. In more bad news for the uni, Sarah Lansdown reports a run of departures and retirements has raised the prospect of students being unable to see a doctor in the new year. Steve Evans meets a family worried a change to NDIS funding for drama therapy will stop their autistic daughter's progress. Sally Pryor reports on the iconic Australian sounds being preserved forever. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is making childcare a key election battleground as he pledges to remove a controversial hurdle for parents to access rebates, Dana Daniel reports. The government will abolish the activity test for early childhood education if it is re-elected, he will announce today. And in sport, Caden Helmers and Chris Dutton report on some very good news for Canberra-based fans of one of the AFL's biggest teams.
Another lovely day awaits, with plenty of sunshine, an expected top of 28, and only a slight chance of an early morning shower. John-Paul Moloney, managing editor |
