I bet you struggled a bit to get out bed this morning.

After yesterday's glorious sunshine, that low of -3 felt a bit mean. Chin up though - we're headed for a high of 16 today and 20 tomorrow, so the warmer weather is coming.

Here's what's making news this morning.

This story isn't going away any time soon. Amid fears that an upcoming review of the ACT health system will be held behind closed doors, more doctors have come out in support of a public inquiry.

Three doctors' groups now agree nothing short of the territory's equivalent of a royal commission will address the deep-seated problems in the ACT health system.

I've got the full story for you here.

Tough new laws designed to make dog owners more accountable for attacks will be introduced to the ACT Legislative Assembly by the ACT Opposition this week.

Figures from Domestic Animal Services show that 218 dog attacks were reported in the ACT between January and late May this year, with humans the victims in 94 of those cases.

For those of you having a bit of deja vu, the Canberra Liberals tabled another bill about 10 months ago on the same issue, however Labor and the Greens used their numbers to make substantial changes to the legislation and pass that instead.

Blake Foden's got the yarn.

Did you know if you're caught with less than 50g of cannabis a police officer can give you a SCON?

Not the kind the nice ladies from the CWA make unfortunately - a Simple Cannabis Offence Notice.

It's better than being arrested but still involves a fine, which ACT Labor backbencher Michael Pettersson says is a waste of police resources.

He wants to get rid of SCONs for adults, and double the number of cannabis plants you can grow at home.

Here's my story on it.

Okay, this is controversial.

Bree Winchester chatted to the lads from the Betoota Advocate, who reckon Queanbeyan is better than Canberra.

I could sit here and list the many ways they are dead wrong, or you could just read Bree's interview here.

They've also told the Canberra Times journos to quit hanging out in Fyshwick McDonalds and do some actual work, which is awkward because I was just considering making a hash brown run.

This is a really lovely story.

What began as a small personal tribute to honour two men who fought in the First World War has grown into a world-wide community - and Canberra has played a big role in making it happen.

Karen Hardy's got the details.
