The Australian Capital Territory (ACT) is the capital territory of the Commonwealth of Australia and its smallest self-governing internal territory. It is enclaved within New South Wales, and regularly referred to as Australia's 'Bush Capital'.

The need for a National Territory was flagged by colonial delegates during the Federation conventions of the late 19th century. Section 125 of the Australian Constitution provided that following Federation in 1901, land would be ceded freely to the new Federal Government. The territory was transferred to the Commonwealth by the state of New South Wales in 1911, two years prior to the naming of Canberra as the National Capital in 1913.

The floral emblem of the ACT is the Royal Bluebell and the faunal emblem is the Gang-gang Cockatoo.

Do you need a permit to busk in Canberra or the Australian Capital Territory?
Q. It seems that places such as Melbourne require you to register a busking permit, however many people have told me that this is not necessary in the Australian Capital Territory. Could someone please clear this up for me? Thanks in advance.
Asked by bega - Sun Nov 16 04:14:13 2008 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. Yes. All buskers need a City of Sydney Busking Permit to perform on City of Sydney owned land. The Permit must be displayed at all times while performing. Permits are available for up to one year for a small fee. If you want to busk as a group each group member will need to apply for an individual busking license. Groups of up to 5 licensed buskers can perform at any one time providing all members have their license on display.

Q. Do you think she should be awarded any money? IVF mother sues over twin birth A mother who gave birth to twins instead of a single baby after receiving IVF treatment has sued her doctor for the cost of bringing up the second child. The woman, who cannot be identified because of a court order, is seeking more than 400,000 Australian dollars to cover the expense of raising one child until age 21. Testifying in the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory, the 40-year-old mother said she told her doctor, Robert Armellin, that she only wanted one child. But an embryologist under the doctor's supervision implanted two embryos in her uterus, resulting in the birth of non-identical twin girls.

A. I'd take one of the babies into another room, hand him to a nurse, and fire off a shot in the air, then come into the delivery room and be like "Hey! Problem solved! Just to see the look on her face.
