Canberra Now: All-female ride sharing arrives; push for Tent Embassy recognition

Perhaps don't get out of bed just yet. There's some frost about this morning as the temperature falls to 1 degree. But the sun should come out soon enough for an expected top of 16.

The ACT Greens have called for the Aboriginal Tent Embassy to become an "interim national institution," but said it would operate differently to other institutions like the National Gallery of Australia and the Australian War Memorial.

The embassy has sat outside Old Parliament House since 1972.

Fairfax Media analysis of the latest government data found the rate of Canberrans leaving the scheme topped the nation, at three times the national average when compared to those joining the scheme.

It underscores a number of harrowing stories that had been shared with the committee so far.
