Good morning, Canberra. We hope you enjoyed the long weekend. We're in for a partly cloudy day and a top of 19 degrees. Here’s what’s making news in the capital.
Tragedy: The couple who died in the crash on the Barton Highway on Friday were the kindest, most loving parents anybody could wish for, their children said.
Police: Senior federal police figures have been handed a damning scorecard of their leadership, with the latest staff survey results revealing trust and communication issues at the top.
Public service: The APS "lost its soul" at times during the rollout of the unlawful robodebt scheme, secretary for Public Sector Reform Gordon de Brouwer says.
Property: Garema Place business owners are excited by proposed upgrades to improve the Civic hub, but some are concerned by a lack of communication from the ACT government.
Sport: Pitch invaders beware. Spectators who run onto Canberra Stadium or Manuka Oval will now be slugged with an $8000 fine for their "stupid behaviour", correcting a little-known loophole where minimal punishments once applied.
Food & Wine: If there's one question Katrina Meynink gets asked again and again in her role as a food writer and cookbook author it's how to get dinner on the table with the least amount of effort.
Property: While it appears not a single auction took place in Canberra over the Easter long weekend, sellers and their agents used the days leading up to it as an opportunity to capture buyers.
Court: A toddler allegedly sustained a "golf ball-sized lump" on her forehead after a man was accused of dropping her while violently assaulting his partner.
Cost of living: Essential workers risk being priced out of the ACT by high housing costs as rising rents consume a growing chunk of their take-home pay, a new report says.
