Good morning Valued Subscriber,
The Coalition could have hired more than 100,000 public servants for the billions it spent in just one year on outsourced public-sector work when it was in government, new analysis shows. Miriam Webber reports on the latest shots fired in the political squabble over the value of the public service. It may not feel like it when you're stuck in the morning's traffic snarl, but every day there's a team monitoring more than 130 cameras to help make the city's roads runs smoothly. As drivers battled the traffic effects of the latest light rail construction work, Lucy Arundell visited the brain of the city's road operation. Jasper Lindell reports on a block of land at the centre of debate about the future shape of the city, which has been permanently protected from development. And Brumbies fans, before this weekend's season opener, don't miss reading Caden Helmers' profile of our star fullback Tom Wright, accompanied by some super shots by photographer Gary Ramage. It'll be worth packing your umbrella today. We're expecting showers, a possible storm and 5-50mm rainfall. The top temperature is set to be 26 degrees. John-Paul Moloney, managing editor |
