  • Artemis II crew breaks space travel record

    Artemis II crew breaks space travel record
    Apr 7 2026
    The Artemis II crew has broken the Apollo 13 record set in 1970, travelling further from Earth than any other humans at 406,733 kilometres during their lunar flyby mission. The astronauts aboard the Orion spacecraft are conducting a six-hour flyby period, photographing the dark side of the moon and making scientific observations without landing. The mission includes emotional moments such as a recorded message from the late astronaut Jim Lovell and the naming of a lunar crater 'Carroll' in memory of mission commander Reid Wiseman's late wife, as the crew tests the spacecraft for a potential moon landing by 2028.

Urea is a critical ingredient in fertiliser for farmers preparing to plant winter crops and is also used as an anti-pollutant in diesel engines. Opposition Leader Angus Taylor has called for greater transparency about gaps in fuel supply chains, while Energy Minister Chris Bowen maintains fuel supplies are secured into May.

    Queensland's tough crime laws show early results
    Apr 6 2026
    Queensland's new adult crime, adult time laws show a 1.2% overall decrease in crime rates. Break-ins have dropped nearly 10%, robbery is down 10.6%, and stolen car offences have decreased by 5.6%. However, finalised court appearances have dropped 13% as offenders are being directed to diversion programmes rather than jail, raising concerns among some victims about the actual number of offenders being incarcerated.

    Apr 6 2026
    Australia faces potential petrol rationing beyond May as fuel supplies remain uncertain due to the ongoing Middle East conflict. The country imports 90% of its fuel, with supply routes critically dependent on the Strait of Hormuz. The federal government has activated Level 2 of the National Fuel Security Plan, with Level 4 representing the most severe stage when rationing would be implemented.
