Canberra doctors and recovering users call for a supervised drug-use facility as a response to heroin and cannabis abuse. An ex user describes brain impact from marijuana and LSD, the social pressures of the scene, and the need for nonjudgmental help led by peers with personal experience.
The article profiles Arthur Esty Smith, famed violin maker known as A. E. Smith of Sydney. Born in London in 1840, he trained in Arabenianship and design, joined Jeffrey's as repairer, then established a workshop at 168/70 Hunter Street. Renowned internationally, he created instruments inspired by Stradivari and Guarneri del Gesu, and contributed to Australian music by providing strings and innovative bowed instruments. His century-spanning career echoes Cremona masters and underscores the value of excellence.
Canberra Times reports Mr McMahon and Acting Treasurer were shocked by bus service deficits. After an emergency meeting with Minister Hunt, plans propose turning buses into a viable economic venture with a study by a committee, overseas comparisons, and passengerfocused reforms. Aimed at improved comfort, personalized service, and revamped depots, the plan envisions modernized facilities and targeted funding.
A fragmented notice describes disposal of housing or property related to a ministerial matter in a vague, stylistic fashion. It mentions a figure named Hunts, a carillon flat, and references to timing, warnings, and a peculiar narrative. The readable text remains cryptic.
