1. First ‘tangible’ breakthrough
A car carrier from Norway has become the first ship to reach the area where possible debris from missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was spotted.
A spokesman for the Norwegian Shipowners Association told CNN: “All men are on deck to continue the search. They are using lights and binoculars.”
The ship arrived at the search zone in the Indian Ocean at 8pm last night after it was diverted from its trip from Madagascar to Melbourne.
Yesterday, Prime Minister Tony Abbott announced that satellites had captured images of objects about 23 kilometres from each other and about 2,400 kilometres southwest of Australia’s west coast. However, so far bad weather has hampered any efforts to spot the debris.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said in a message on Twitter that the first RAAF search aircraft, a P-3 Orion, was “unable to locate debris — cloud and rain limited visibility — further aircraft to continue search.”
2. Barack Obama announces sanctions
The US President Barack Obama has announced further sanctions against Russia hours after Russian lawmakers rubber-stamped a treaty enabling Crimea to join Russia.
Mr Obama also said he had signed an order enabling the US to impose sanctions on sectors of the Russian economy.
3. Neighbours reported the family of five-year-old boy
A neighbour, who reported the family of the five-year-old boy who died after cutting his toe on rubbish in his family home, has said she had informed the Department of Human Services in 2009 that she had found the boy naked and covered in faeces.
According to The Age, both the police and child-protection workers were told several times of the conditions the family were living in. But they either did not follow up the report or went away after knocking on the family’s front door and receiving no response.

So, a man in Melbourne gets 21 days in the clink for saying bad things (yes, he deserved it), yet a man who nails a stranger in a pub in Queensland doesn't even get convicted? Was that because the guy in Queensland was from a prominent legal family and was studying law? Or was it because the magistrate was a misandrist by saying that domestic violence was worse?
Both of those victims deserved justice. Only one got it.
How on earth is the magistrate a misandrist? So is every judge who doesn't give man who hurt a woman a proper sentence a misogynist? Every time you say this kind of nonsense it makes it harder to take you seriously.
Why is she?
Because she said that the whole one punch thing wasn't as important as Domestic Violence. That's how. She diminishes violence when it's directed at men. and worse, she let off a shithead kid because he studied law and was from a prominent legal family.
Go figure it out for yourself.
