Lovely morning at Mawson with Andrew Braddock, Sam Carter, and my friend Emad. And I’ve run out of flyers thanks to some very pleasant post-stall letterboxing on this fine Sunday. If you also want to see north Tuggeranong and south Woden friends jump on light rail from Mawson park & ride or bike & ride, reducing cars on the road by thousands more each day, you can sign the petition here: https://epetitions.parliament.act.gov.au/details/e-pet-081-25 #actpol #trains #canberra

I've had the window open most of this afternoon. Not something one can usually do in May in #Canberra .

Hey #Australia / #Canberra specifically, what's the go with new water heaters these days? I've just discovered my 170L gas one is over 33 years old at this point (what a champ) and I'm thinking about replacing it pre-emptively. The current one can't quite fill my bathtub before getting tepid, I like the idea of an instant system but would a modern gas one the same size be better? Do I want a heat pump unit? The ACT has another couple decades to go with gas and I don't have solar anything yet.

Today: L'Unione europea permette ad alcuni produttori stranieri di usare il nome "prosecco" per il vino e "parmesan" per il formaggio È arrivata la firma di un nuovo accordo commerciale tra l'Unione europea e l'Australia, durante una visita a Canberra e a Sydney della presidente della Commissione europea Ursula von der Leyen. Il testo prevede di rimuovere sia i dazi europei sia quelli australiani su moltissimi prodotti agricoli... The European Union allows some foreign producers to use the name "prosecco" for wine and "parmesan" for cheese. The signing of a new trade agreement between the European Union and Australia took place during a visit to Canberra and Sydney by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The text provides for the removal of both European and Australian tariffs on many agricultural products... #TheEuropeanUnion #theEuropeanUnion #Australia #Canberra #Sydney #EuropeanCommission #UrsulavonderLeyen #European #Australian https://www.today.it/europa/economia/unione-europea-australia-vino-prosecco-parmesan-parmigiano.html

What the fuck? We have seemingly replaced one dodgy bureaucrat with another! "Dr [Margot] McNeill resigned from TAFE NSW, where she was chief product and quality officer, in May last year, and was announced as the new CIT chief executive in June." The position in Canberra was vacant after the institute's former chief executive, Leanne Cover, was found to have engaged in serious corrupt conduct by the ACT Integrity Commission.  ... That investigation concluded late last year, finding that Dr McNeill had breached TAFE NSW's code of conduct, and that her employment file would be updated to reflect a "termination" in place of a resignation." #Canberra https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-19/cit-unaware-of-misconduct-investigation-into-ceo-chair-says/106472468

I've left out some snacks for the Canberra Reindeers when Canberra Claus comes visiting this evening. Hopefully lots of good things will come to all the nice Canberrans, and all the naughty ones will have learnt their lesson. #CanberraDay #Canberra

I have been hot ballooning only once, for my 30th birthday... though delays meant it occurred a few weeks later. It was great, and the sights were amazing. Also, we collided mid-air with another balloon over the paddock that would later become Crace. I occasionally think about that collision. Anyway, hot air balloons are still great in my books. #Canberra

Also, the ‘Flying Foxes’ in #Canberra are pretty big as far as bats go.
