Wheelchair user refused taxi and Uber in nation's capital (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Tasmanian accessibility advocate claims she was refused service by a taxi and an Uber driver because she uses a wheelchair. Ms Putland explained her collapsible wheelchair fits easily into a standard boot space, but she was still turned away. Disability advocates say the potentially unlawful experience highlights ongoing, widespread transport discrimination faced by wheelchair users across Australia. It was Rosie Putland's first week in Canberra in a new job, but the week was marred by a case
AFP will not reveal disciplinary outcomes for officers in 'unlawful' arrest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last month, an ombudsman review found Australian Federal Police officers subjected an Indigenous teenager to a "seemingly unlawful" search in a case of mistaken identity. The watchdog was investigating "serious questions" raised in the aftermath of the teenager's arrest in Canberra's south, after he was pulled from a bus at gunpoint by officers.

Two tests came back negative for breast cancer. Kate knew her body better (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Kate Clark's breast started leaking fluid, which she says was the colour of Fanta, she knew there was something wrong with her body. She booked in for a mammogram and ultrasound in Canberra, and although both those tests came back negative for breast cancer, she felt she knew her body better. Looking for answers, she went to a specialist, who sent her for an MRI. "[But] because of my leaking nipple, I didn't want to just leave it there." And her suspicion was vindicated when the MRI of her
