Good morning Valued Subscriber,
The government is looking into "concerning" reports Legal Aid ACT employed a convicted child sex offender despite requirements for a police check. Following Tim Piccione's exclusive report on Monday, the Canberra Liberals have also called for answers about how the man was hired as a criminal practice paralegal potentially with access to sensitive material. Health insurers are using a legal loophole to increase insurance premiums by hundreds of dollars, the Commonwealth Ombudsman has revealed. Brittney Levinson reports insurance policies have been closing down existing policies and launching new, nearly identical products at a higher cost to dodge health regulations.
Homes in the Molonglo region are the most energy-efficient in the country, a new report shows. Lucinda Garbutt-Young reports on the other regions in the nation's top 30 for median energy ratings. And Chris Dutton speaks with the Canberra sportsman hoping life begins at 50. After retirement and a stint as a landscaper, golfer Brendan Jones now has a shot at a share of a record $70 million PGA Tour Champions prize pool. It'll be a nice and sunny day today, after a brisk start, with a top of 29 degrees and a slight chance of a shower at night. John-Paul Moloney, managing editor
