==Media==
As Australia's capital, Canberra is the most important centre for much of Australia's political reportage and thus all the major media, including the [[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]], the commercial television networks, and the metropolitan newspapers maintain local bureaus. News organisations are represented in the "[[Canberra Press Gallery|press gallery]]", a group of journalists who report on the national [[Parliament of Australia|parliament]]. The National Press Club of Australia in [[Barton, Australian Capital Territory|Barton]] has regular television broadcasts of its lunches at which a prominent guest, typically a politician or other public figure, delivers a speech followed by a question-and-answer session.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.npc.org.au/upcomingspeakers/speakerarchive.html | title=Speaker archive | publisher=National Press Club of Australia | accessdate=13.
