I’ve been following the Hormuz situation pretty closely over the past few weeks, and honestly, the more I read about it, the more I find myself thinking about leadership — specifically what good leadership actually looks like when things get genuinely difficult.

The news that Japan is going to maintain normal fuel supply to Australia, and that Prime Minister Takaichi is potentially visiting, is quietly significant. It doesn’t have the drama of a military announcement or the viral punch of a political brawl, but it matters. A lot. And the way it came together — through methodical diplomatic legwork with Japan, South Korea, and Singapore — is the kind of thing that rarely gets the credit it deserves because it doesn’t make for exciting television.

Happy Easter, everyone! Hope you’ve had a good long weekend, whether you’re the type who goes all out with family gatherings or just appreciates the public holidays for some quiet time at home.

So, Easter Monday is here, and you know what that means for bargain hunters like me — it’s time to see what kind of post-Easter chocolate deals are floating around. I spotted a few people online sharing tips about clearance sales at Coles and local shops, which naturally got me out of my chair and into research mode.

Right, so I went down a bit of a rabbit hole this week watching someone document their first experience using a jetted tub cleaner called “Oh Yuk,” and honestly, I’m still a bit haunted by it.

If you’re not familiar with jetted tubs — those spa-style baths with the water jets built into the sides — they look absolutely luxurious. The kind of thing you see in a fancy hotel room and think, yeah, I could get used to this. Maybe you’ve even looked at houses with one and felt that little spark of excitement. “Ooh, a spa bath!” Well, buckle up, because I’m about to ruin that dream just a little bit.
