  1. Well-known Russian military blogger Vladlen Tatarsky was killed by a bomb blast in a St Petersburg cafe on Sunday in what appeared to be the second assassination on Russian soil of a figure closely associated with the war in Ukraine.

     

    Russia's state Investigative Committee said it had opened a murder investigation. St Petersburg's governor said that 25 people were wounded and 19 of them were being treated in hospital.

  2. April Fools Day gag. A post on Facebook by Spirit of Tasmania.

     

    Introducing the Spirit VI submarine - our first underwater ferry!  A sleek exterior is matched by state of the art design, features and facilities.

    "I was surprised that an outer eastern Melbourne seat would be held by the Libs"

     

    My electorate, Deakin, is located next to Aston, and I was originally in Aston before redistribution. Our sitting Member is Liberal, Michael Sukkar, who retained the seat at the last election. He was a minister in the previous government and is the Shadow Minister for Housing and the NDIS.

     

     

    The Division of Deakin consists of:

    • Maroondah City Council, and
    • part of the Whitehorse City Council.

     

  4. Donald Trump launched into a furious rant on Truth Social after he became the first current or former president to ever be criminally indicted in the history of the US.

     

    But his outrage over the matter seemed to prompt him to misspell the very word he wanted to emphasise – as he fumed that “Thugs and Radical Left Monsters” had “INDICATED” him on criminal charges.

     

    “These Thugs and Radical Left Monsters have just INDICATED the 45th President of the United States of America, and the leading Republican Candidate, by far, for the 2024 Nomination for President,” he wrote.

  5. Things are sometimes cheaper with cash, or they used to be. Many merchants add a fee for card transactions, particularly small amount ones, to cover the fees the banks charge. The big Lotto agent at Forest Hill Chase charges 15c extra for a lotto ticket purchase if the amount is under $15.00. I think Aldi charges a fee to use cards, or they used to. Many dropped the charge during the pandemic when it was feared cash could spread the disease and card purchases were preferred. Once again, banks lining their coffers. We are being corralled.
