Julie and Markus have had a big year. Much of this year Julie has been the ACT Health Services Commissioner and Disability and Community Services Commissioner, only in November reverting to her substantive job of Deputy Parliamentary Counsel. Markus has become a commuter, having been head hunted for a Sydney based job as Director of Services for the peak eResearch body for NSW. Early in the new year they move out of their home for what is expected to be 12 months while it undergoes a major rebuild.
