Good morning Valued Subscriber,
Sarah Lansdown's illuminating piece on the chairman of Brindabella Christian College's chequered business history was comfortably our best read story yesterday. Today she writes about the ways Greg Zwajgenberg uses faith as a weapon - including in how he responds to journalists' questions - and reports on the "little more enlightened" Education Minister's reaction to the revelations. A former longtime Navy member's repeated sexual assaults of a teenage co-worker have been described by a court as "disgraceful", Tim Piccione writes. While the man claims he believed the criminal conduct was "playful teasing and mucking around", magistrate Roger Clisdell disagreed. The government is holding firm on its stance against divestiture powers, despite allegations of misleading pricing by Coles and Woolworths. Brittney Levinson reports the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is suing the two supermarket giants over allegations they misled customers to believe they were getting discounted prices. In a Young and Regional story that will make you think, Joel Ehsman reports on the "deathbots" which are set to interrupt the grieving process by providing a way to speak with an AI version of a loved one. And in sport, David Polkinghorne writes the Canberra Raiders are celebrating the re-signing of one of their brightest young hopes. If T-shirts are allowed where you work, put one on today. After a low of 4 it's going to be a warm, partly cloudy day with a top of 24.
