More than 60,000 Steinlager bottles are being urgently recalled nationwide.

Wellington Water says ordering key replacement gear may take months.

Two men, aged 24 and 36, have been jointly charged with injuring with intent.

Australians paid an estimated $1.6 billion in unnecessary credit card interest last year, according to new research.

A survey of 2029 credit card holders by finance comparison site Canstar found one-third have never reviewed or considered switching their card.

Other respondents said they reviewed their card more than a year ago, while 45 per cent of people did so in the last 12 months.

Analysis from Canstar found Australians collectively shelled out more than $3.4 billion in credit card interest at an average credit card rate of more than 18 per cent on a total debt.

It found that collective bill could have been almost halved if indebted customers switched to a card offering rates of 10 per cent or less, worth roughly $1.6 billion in collective savings.

Canstar's data insights director Sally Tindall said there was a price to be paid for "setting and forgetting".

"Credit card loyalty is costing Australians a staggering $1.6 billion a year in unnecessary interest," Tindall said.

"Canstar research shows one in three cardholders have never reviewed their credit card.

"In a market where rates range from 8.99 per cent right up to 28.49 per cent, that's like handing your bank your wallet and hoping for the best.

"Australians paid an estimated $3.4 billion in credit card interest last year, yet, if the average rate dropped to just 10 per cent, then the bill could have been almost halved."

The latest data from the Reserve Bank of Australia found banks raked in almost $1.59 billion in credit card fees for the financial year ending 2024.

This was up 11 per cent from the previous financial year.

Tindall recommended Australians review their credit cards every year.

"No matter which card you land on, diarise a health check on your card every 12 months," she said.

"Check your rate, your fee and actually calculate what your rewards are worth.

"If the value of your points doesn't outweigh your interest and fees, the card is costing you and it's probably time to ditch it."

A trio of brands have remained the most trusted in the country, while an embattled telco has fallen further, according to a new survey.

Two Australian companies were on the podium, with Bunnings and Kmart in first and third, respectively, with German supermarket Aldi coming in second place, according to a Roy Morgan report.

Commonwealth Bank and Apple rounded out the top five most trusted brands.

The survey polled 18,204 people at the end of last year, and the results found Woolworths – once the most trusted company in the country – was still the most distrusted brand in Australia.

Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine said Woolworths' fall represented a sharp decline from its old standing.

"A striking contrast given it was the most trusted just a couple of years ago," she said.

On the other end of the scale, Levine said the most trustworthy brands showed what Australians value in a difficult economic climate.

"These brands represent value, reliability, and practical usefulness, exactly what Australians prioritise in uncertain times," she said.

Coles improved in the distrust ranking, going from second to fourth most distrusted brand in Australia, with the current court case with the ACCC based on misleading sales still having a lingering impact.

Qantas' reputation also increased slightly, moving down a place in the distrust rankings.

Optus fell to third place in the most distrusted brands, with the fallout from the Triple Zero scandal smashing the company's reputation.

Meta, the parent company of Facebook, was in third as scepticism over social media continues, while Chinese marketplace Temu finished in fifth.

Three of Australia's big banks – Commonwealth Bank, Westpac and NAB – all made positive moves, but tech and AI companies took a hit to their reputation.

Microsoft is now the 21st most distrusted brand, moving up 37 places, while OpenAI moved up to 26th, 17 places higher than the last survey.

Levine said companies that associate with AI will continue to face reputational blows.

"Our view is that it is going to taint normally trusted brands," she said.

A man has been bitten by a shark while snorkelling around the Great Barrier Reef.

He and two other men were swimming from a private vessel on the western side of Lady Elliot Island in Queensland when the attack took place around 8am.

He was bitten on the elbow and helped to shore by the other two men.

They immediately alerted staff at Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort, who provided assistance.

The man who had been bitten was stabilised at the resort then airlifted to the Bundaberg Hospital.

The resort said he is believed to be in a stable condition.

It is not currently known what species of shark was involved in the attack.

Snorkelling zones on Lady Elliot Island's western side have been closed and marine shark experts are monitoring the waters.

The men were not guests at the resort but all guests have been informed of the incident.

A Marine Corps veteran suffered a broken arm as he was dragged out of a hearing in the US Capitol by police and a senator.

Brian McGinnis called out during a Senate Armed Services subcommittee hearing in protest of the US attack on Iran. 

"Israel is the reason for this war. America does not want to fight this war for Israel," McGinnis said.

"America does not want to send its sons and daughters to war for Israel."

Three Capitol Police officers grabbed McGinnis and attempted to drag him out of the room.

The officers were joined by Senator Tim Sheehy, who joined them in trying to pull him away.

During the altercation, it appears McGinnis' arm became wedged in the door.

As they pulled him out, his forearm can be seen and heard breaking.

Sheehy, a Republican representing Montana, later described McGinnis as "unhinged".

"I decided to help out and de-escalate the situation," Sheehy said in a statement.

"This gentleman came to the Capitol looking for a confrontation, and he got one. 

"I hope he gets the help he needs without causing further violence."

McGinnis, a Greens Party candidate for a Senate seat in North Carolina, has been charged with resisting arrest and three counts of assaulting a police officer.

"Protests are not allowed inside the Congressional Buildings," a statement from Capitol Police read.

"There are plenty of other spots on Capitol Grounds, outside, where demonstrations are allowed."

McGinnis served four years in the Marine Corps, including time spent in Iraq.

He now works as a firefighter.

Tim Sheehy himself is a former Navy SEAL who served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

His 2024 election campaign was dogged by accusations he falsely claimed to have been wounded during a firefight in Afghanistan.

But a National Park report said he had instead been shot in the arm while trying to reload a gun in Montana.

A pair of teenagers has been charged in relation to the alleged kidnapping of a 72-year-old woman in Sydney's south-west last year.

Police established Strike Force Kegar to investigate the alleged kidnapping of the woman from a Sydney home in November last year.

Detectives spoke with a 75-year-old woman who was hospitalised with minor injuries after being detained for two days, and were told the alleged kidnapping occurred when an armed group of five men entered a home on St Johns Road in Cabramatta.

Throughout the investigation, two vehicles were seized, and two crime scene warrants were executed at properties in Carramar and Revesby, believed to have been used as strongholds.

At about 11am yesterday, an 18-year-old was arrested following the search of a property in West Kempsey. He was taken to Kempsey Police Station.

The teenager was refused bail to appear at Fairfield Court next month.

The pair were both charged with a raft of offences in relation to the alleged kidnapping, including special aggravated breaking and entering while armed with a weapon.

He was also refused bail and is set to appear at Children's Court today.

Investigations are still ongoing.

Do clocks go forward or backward in April?

Clocks will go back by one hour from 3am to 2am to give millions of Australians an extra hour of daylight in the morning.

Australians in all but three states and territories will actually gain an hour in the early morning on Sunday, April 5.

Enjoy the extra hour of sleep.

Which Australian states and territories change their clocks?

New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania, and the Australian Capital Territory all observe daylight saving time.

Queensland, Western Australia, and the Northern Territory do not.

Why do we have daylight saving time?

Daylight saving exists to ensure Australians in the southern states and territories can make the most of the daylight hours at different times of the year.

Clocks are moved forward in the warmer months to give people an extra hour of sunlight in the evening, when it's balmy and mild.

As the weather cools down, the clocks are moved back for a little extra light in the mornings.

But not all states and territories opt in.

Queensland, WA and the NT never adopted daylight saving because the difference in daylight hours doesn't vary as much across the seasons up north.

The son of the king ousted from power in Iran's 1979 revolution is positioning himself as the next leader of the country.

Reza Pahlavi is lobbying to lead Iran, in spite of the fact he has not lived in the country since he was 18.

The now 65-year-old was the crown prince of the country and was training as an Air Force pilot in the US when the revolution took place.

He was not able to return to Iran, and since 1980 has styled himself as the Shah, or king.

Many Iranians living in exile view Pahlavi as the rightful leader of Iran.

But in Iran itself, the Pahlavi dynasty is viewed with scepticism or downright hatred.

Pahlavi's father, Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavigoverned the country as an oppressive dictator remembered for his expansive and murderous secret police and his expensive tastes.

He was overthrown in 1979 and a theocratic republic was installed under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

But the younger Pahlavi has positioned himself as a potential transitional leader before Iran moves to a democratic system.

Through an active social media presence, Pahlavi is frequently making statements to the Iranian people.

"Any attempt by the remnants of the regime to appoint a successor to Khamenei is doomed to failure in advance," he said after Ayatollah Khamenei's death was confirmed this week.

"Whoever they place in his position will not only lack legitimacy, but will also be a partner in the crimes of this regime."

He called on the military to overthrow the Islamic Republic.

"Your weapons must be used to defend the great nation of Iran, not the republic of crime, thuggery, and its anti-Iranian criminals," he said.

"Join the people of Iran and the Lion and Sun Revolution. Use your arms to protect Iranians against the mercenaries of the Islamic Republic so that this 47-year nightmare may end more swiftly."

Pahlavi does have political backing in the US, where he has lived for most of his life.

But Donald Trump has not yet thrown his support behind the prince.

"I don't know whether or not his country would accept his leadership," Trump said.

"Certainly if they would, that would be fine with me."

Iran's Assembly of Experts is yet to pick a new supreme leader – but Khamenei's son is considered the favourite.
