In one of the more startling political backflips of recent times, Liberal leader Peter Dutton walked back plans to end working from home in the public service. It took courage for the Liberals to admit they’d got it wrong, and only time (and the voters) will tell if they’ll stick the landing or end up flat on the electoral mat. But mostly unremarked in the national conversation was Mr Dutton’s caveat that the mandatory office return was only ever intended to affect Canberra public servants.

We lost Mum two weeks ago. She was 93 and lived a long, rich life on the family farm before moving to an aged care facility in town as her memory faded. She’d always been healthy. She ate well, gardened and walked everywhere and, ironically, at the end, had nothing to take her away except old age and a gentle shutting down as we sat with her. Her lips moved in prayer and she reached for our hands, recognising voices and faces.

Canberra, you did it. You are a generous, warm-hearted city. Today, the Canberra Day Appeal concludes, and we have 750,000 reasons to feel good about ourselves. 750,000 acts of generosity, 750,000 helping hands for people who are struggling in our own community. We’ve raised more than $750,000 for over 100 Canberra charities. At Hands Across Canberra, we knew our goal was ambitious, and we hoped it would be possible. But as anyone who has tried to help out a good cause knows, it’s unpredictable.
