Canberra’s little red burger van that could – Brodburger – is on the agenda of this year’s National Capital Authority Public Forum at the Australian War Memorial theatre tomorrow night. This may be one of the last chances to voice your opinion on whether Brodburger stays or goes from Bowen Park.
It’s part of agenda item three, which is scheduled to kick off at 6.20pm. Agenda item three has eight community-nominated topics to discuss in 40 minutes; just five minutes each if the timekeeper is fair.
The Brodburger crew put a call out for supporters to join them at the forum:
We would like to encourage you to register to join us at the NCA public forum, as we will be discussing the future of Brodburger at Bowen Park. If you are able to attend registration can be made from the link below:
www.nationalcapital.gov.au/publicforum
Thank you again for your support.
I’m travelling and probably not going to make it back in time to attend. If you go along, I’d really appreciate an update in the comments as to how the discussion goes. Better yet, try and get some audio and/or video.

So I went to bed the other night feeling fine. Next morning I wake up, roll over to swat the alarm off and an intense pain shoots forth from between my shoulder blades.
MOTHERF(*&(*^&
OUUUUUUUUUUUUUCH
Throughout the day, the pain makes tactical moves and controls the territory around the side and front of my chest, hiding when I’m still and attacking when I move. I seek help. Diagnosis is that I’ve done something to a rib. Remedy? Wait. Painkillers if I really need them.
Any other suggestions for a counter-offensive? Any strapping, bandaging, topical ointments or bacta tank immersion therapies I could try to keep the pains at bay?

Woke up this morning to the news that a dead body was found across the road at the Fraser Court apartments last night. I didn’t expect to see so many cops still at the scene this morning. I had a pretty good view of things from my balcony while watering the tomato plants; at least half a dozen guys standing around with a bunch of crime scene kit.
Came home tonight to find an AFP business card had been stuffed under the door with a simple “Please contact me. Thanks.” scribbled on the back. Housemate didn’t know what’d happened but looked pretty concerned that the cops wanted to talk to someone. He looked a whole lot worse and went directly for the bathroom when I told him someone had been found dead just over the road. When he came out I told him someone had been charged, but he still looked kinda freaked about it all.
If you happened to be in Kingston last night & saw or heard anything suss going on around Fraser Court, do the right thing & call Crimestoppers.
