The headline kind of buries the lead, independents up to 19% of the vote. It’s not hard to see why, Emerson and Carrick actually seem to want to work. They seem engaged and ready to represent their constituents. One thing is certain 8 seats is the new high water mark for the Canberra Liberals.

Hey everyone
I'm visiting this weekend and would like to go to a Sunday farmers market to stock up food for the week to take home. We tried Capital Region Market last time we were there and weren't too happy with it.
We're looking at Haig Park or Southside farmers this Sunday. We're particularly looking for fresh fruit and veggies. Meats is a bonus but just looking for some nice produce.
Thanks for any help!

Help a girl out and tell me your favourite! Space Kitchen is top of my list. (Or Fika if I’m in the car.) I used to really like Espresso Room at Westfield but I feel like they’re not quite as good.

My friend and I are in a long standing debate about ACT Canberra licenses. He has found what appears to be a licence card but I am saying it is fake because there is no hologram or what looks like to be security features. Can someone in Canberra ACT please tell me… do ACT drivers licences have a security hologram like all other states?f

Hi All!
I’m bit new to Canberra and am looking to play rugby union.
Can anyone tell me the difference between the suburban cup and the John I Dent cup? I’ve looked everywhere but the answers are a bit vague.
Which cup would be better for beginners or very new to the game?
Thanks guys!

How much would you expect to pay for a skin check and punch skin biopsy in Canberra? I was charged over $800, is this standard? I’d been charged $110 elsewhere in Australia in 2024

Hi everyone,
My child attends an ACT Government preschool. Last term on even weeks they attend Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. On odd weeks they attend Monday and Tuesday only (no Wednesday).
Term 2 had 11 teaching weeks, so I'm now confused about what happens at the start of Term 3.
I've checked my emails and the school's newsletter but I can't find anything explaining whether the odd/even cycle resets each term.
Does the odd/even week cycle reset each term, meaning Term 3 Week 1 is always an odd week?
Or does the odd/even cycle continue across terms, so because Term 2 had 11 weeks the pattern flips?
I'm trying to organise fortnightly appointments on Wednesdays and want to make sure I've got the right week.
Thanks!
Edit: Thanks everyone. I managed to figure it out by looking back through my work calendar and appointments. The Wednesday pattern continues across terms rather than resetting, so after the 11-week term it flips again. Contrary to what a couple of people suggested, Week 1 is a Wednesday preschool week for us. Thanks for the help!

My sister in law lives southside and is going through a hard time. I want to send to a day spa for some quality down time. I live interstate so have no idea what's a nice place to go. They have one ick is that they don't like people touching their feet (so no pedicures). Budget is under $400. Help please!!

(half PSA, half vent) if you are bringing your dog into your local bunnings or pet store, and it goes to the toilet or throws up in said store, please just tell the staff!
- i promise we won’t be mad
- you and your dog will not be banned from the store
- we will not make you clean it up
- we will be very grateful that you told us at all
i slipped on a dog’s mess the other day while stacking shelves. the dog was on a short lead and the mess was absolutely huge, so there’s no way the owner didn’t notice. this is unfortunately extremely common.
that is all, have a good day!

What does everyone think of the ACT Gov's offer to its public sector employees?
9% over 3 years is unlikely to beat cost of living at this rate imo, especially with the Straight of Hormuz being what it is. That said, the rest of it seems pretty good.
Might be a feature of ACT Gov's budget overruns though.

Hi everyone, I work in Operational Technology for a large mining company. I'm looking for work in Canberra in a similar technical or leadership role. However, most of the jobs I apply for ask for a security clearance. I don't have one and my understanding is the only way to get one is to have an employer that will sponsor the application for you.
For the different clearance levels, what's the usual timeframe and is this something many companies will do? I understand of course that if an applicant already has a clearance it's advantageous as it ticks a box and saves time.
But how is someone suppose to get one in the first place? Are they usually something that more junior/entry level roles will get sponsored for ?
Any insight would be helpful.
Thanks.

Does anyone here have experience of doing Interdisciplinary Science - Flight at college in Canberra. I note that both Tuggeranong and Melba Copeland seem to offer it?
What do you actually do in the program? Do you do it in both of Year 11 and 12, or just in one year? If you did it, how did you progress in an aviation career or private flying (if at all)? Would you recommend other kids do it?

Most of the information as to the test next week I’ve seen hasn’t mentioned that it’ll play through headphones/earphones at full blast (overriding the set volume) the same way it would if they weren’t connected.
I only found this out from people in other countries who already have the system after trying to find information online, so I thought I’d mention it where I can.
The amount of people who have headsets on constantly for work or earphones in for any reason at all will be negatively affected and I haven’t seen anyone mention it.

Hi all,
Husband & I are thinking of moving to Canberra as he's looking for work in IT/cybersecurity & has found many roles that appeal to him there.
I've read a lot of posts about immigrants having trouble finding work in Canberra due to citizenship requirements for clearances. I've got PR and am a highschool teacher (have been teaching in govie schools for nearly 7 years in SA), would this barrier apply to me or will I have no issues getting work? Also, any insight into what teaching is like in Canberra would be massively appreciated 🙏🏻
Apologies if this is a silly question, I've only ever known SA & I'm trying to find my bearings before we commit to the move.
Thanks very much!

Hey all,
I'm finally getting my Ps (20s) and will be doing my test out from the Gungahlin testing centre. I'm super nervous and really don't want to fail. I haven't done much practise in Gunners so I was wondering if anyone knows roughly what routes they use or any other tips?
