If you want to show my colleagues support for the hard work they do each day on calling out this government, the opposition, the police, the leaders in the ACT then subscribe to the
@canberratimes or a Fairfax publication and value their work.3 replies 1 retweet 4 likesShow this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
