 The Canberra Raiders have sacked centre Curtis Scott.

The troubled 23-year-old's career had been in the balance following two major off-field incidents since he joined Canberra from Melbourne 18 months ago.

 Once home to ageing office blocks, an inward-facing shopping centre and sun-baked open-air car parks, Woden town centre is undergoing a personality change. The 2015 master plan for the area, and the promise of an extension to Canberra's light rail, has kickstarted urban infill and a growing culture of apartment living.

Chief Health Officer Kerryn Coleman said the under-reporting was the result of doctors submitting death certificates to the ACT registrar of births, deaths and marriages, but forgetting to report COVID-19-related deaths to ACT Health.
