CANBERRA returnee MICHAEL FINCK, of Chapman, is happy to be home after 35 years away, but he’s far from impressed with the roads…
I MOVED back to Canberra two years ago and am happy to be back after 35 years away. However, while the nation’s capital has moved ahead significantly, its roadways haven’t.
I travel on the Tuggeranong Parkway/Caswell Drive/Gungahlin Drive (that’s a mouthful in itself) daily. And what a disgrace â a major roadway with ridiculous speed limits and poor-quality roadway.Â
In my opinion, it should be modelled on Sydney’s newer freeways such as the M7 with electronic speed limits that can be adjusted for peak-hour traffic (say 90/100km/h) then change to 110km/h at other times.Â

Understanding what empathy means is no guarantee that it will occur. I recall a relevant recent report by a forensic psychologist, who had worked with both victims and perpetrators of sexual abuse, explaining that one of the problems was that although the perpetrators could grasp the idea of consent, they simply ignored it
