Good morning Valued Subscriber,
Canberrans from a variety of backgrounds have been recognised in this year's King's Birthday Honours List. Megan Doherty talks with some of those honoured about their achievements.
And from eradicating feral cats to drawing up laws for vapes to building an embassy in Bangkok, Canberra's public servants have been busy - and are being recognised for their contributions.
Disruption from COVID and unusually wet weather have been blamed for a Gundaroo Drive upgrade being delayed by one year and coming in at more than $5m above projected costs, Steve Evans reports.
And in sport, it was a fairy tale match for Canberra Raider Josh Papali'i , who now holds the record as the club's most-capped player at 319 NRL games. The Raiders defeated the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Canberra Stadium yesterday, aided by two tries from "Papa", one of which he converted himself. The win has put the Green Machine at the top of the NRL ladder heading into a bye next week, David Polkinghorne reports.
The forecast is for a top of 11 and there's a high chance of showers today. Betina Hughes, The Canberra Times senior producer |
