This story is very funny and keeps getting better.

Starting at 2am in Bungendore, a burglar disturbed by the local cops makes off in the cop car and drives into Canberra. He pulls over a random car and steals that. The owner of the stolen car then gets in the cop car to chase but crashes it into a tree.

By the 7pm news, we're told that the ACT cops have the offender holed up in a house in O'Connor. This morning we learn that the siege ended later in the evening when they realised it wasn't the guy they were after.

Police investigations continue

I propose that we stop selling aluminium to countries that can't spell or pronounce the word properly

@sindarina Albanese says that he wants 'kids to be outside, doing nornal things', so yeah, that's definitely part of it

@_elena @cwebber that sounds dangerous

If you've ever wondered where the .io domain name comes from, it's this place (it refers to British Indian Ocean Territory).

Crikey's Charlie Lewis with the best description of Space Karen I've read in a while

"Scissors can be dangerous to children, but we don’t ban scissors, we redesign them so children can learn how to use them safely. We need to formally create safe, playful, exploratory, fun, entertaining, positive and educational experiences online while recognising that what may be appropriate, for example, for one 13-year-old may be different to another."

"The controversial virtual manager service invites real estate agents who have signed up for membership to enter the details of tenants they wish to keep tabs on.

"In the future, when a tenant applies for another property and the other real estate agent searches for their details in TICA's main database, the original property manager receives a notification that includes the name and contact details of the agent who conducted the search."
