Good morning,

Australian households could be hit with "cold showers" due to energy shortages, with the nation's largest gas pipeline operator warning expensive gas will have to be imported into the country to fill the gap if pending projects are not approved. 

Meanwhile, the corporate watchdog has claimed Melbourne property developer Paul Chiodo allegedly spent $6.8m belonging to Keystone Asset Management investors on personal expenses and hundreds of thousands of dollars on celebrity boxer appearances, it has been revealed in Federal Court.
