BY all accounts, especially her own, Treasurer Katy Gallagher has had a tough time pulling together this year’s ACT Budget. Good or bad, she won’t tell, only that she is resolute about having the Budget back into surplus by 2014-15. But, ELERI HARRIS reports, there’s a hole in Gallagher’s bucket – the $30 million annual shortfall in GST income. Elsewhere in this bumper edition we look at the shameful, out-of-date tourist maps in Commonwealth and Acton Parks, meet a star-with-attitude of the Canberra music festival and set loose a lashing of great letters from our fabulous readers.
