    Sister Janet Mead has passed away, 93, cancer. Best known for her pop version of 'The Lord's Prayer' in 1973, she did amazing work for the homeless and under privileged in Adelaide.

    ^ It will be interesting to see if he wins his seat. Even thou it's a very safe Liberal seat, there are people there very unhappy with him for his actions over the past 2 years.

    In other news - they have found remains of the Endeavour have been found in North America.

    I saw that earlier. Pretty terrible.

    Also today someone cut off the internet and mobile coverage for Tasmania, as someone accidentally cut the underwater cables that service these.
