'Insufficient' relief for businesses affected by Civic construction
By Jade Toomey

A review of Canberra's night life has found the ACT government should consider stronger relief for businesses affected by construction work in the city and establish a dedicated Night-Time Economy Commissioner.

Egyptian embassy do this evening, hmmmm. Canberra International Music Festival fundraiser. I hate these things. Last time himself bowled up to Brian Schmidt for a chat (he's a patron) which was brave... I just skulked around in the shadows. What to wear?? 😬

Feeling exhausted by *waves hands around* all this?

Want the world to be a place where decisions are made based on what the evidence says is best for everyone, not just for billionaires and their hangers-on?

Want to see people in power who know what it really feels like to care for someone with disability, try to make a living in the arts, raise kids as a single parent, or experience discrimination?

Last weekend, I had a moment of joy at the campaign launch in Warragul for Ayssa Weaver, Rochelle Hine, and Mat Morgan from the Greens. A little bogong moth landed on the table right in front of me. I had a little chat with the moth about the difference it could make if it got on with the annual trek to the Snowy Mountains via Canberra. And because conversations really do change actions, my little moth friend flew out the door and was last seen headed north on a beautiful sunny afternoon.

It's not too late to change the outcome of the VIC State election in November! Now is the moment to choose hope instead of despair, and action to combat anger.
