On this final day before the public holidays, you're in for a treat. A mostly sunny day, reaching 21. The weather is going to stay good throughout most of the Easter long weekend. Enjoy.
Let's have a look at what's making the headlines today.
Easter make-or-break for ATO
White spot outbreak a black time for industry
The outbreak of white spot disease in prawn catchments across Australia has created problems for breeders by rapidly depleting stocks.
FishCo owner John Fragopoulos says the agriculture prawn season this year has been a "disaster", and that catering companies and distributors are coming to grips with the amount of Australian product available.
Finbar O'Mallon looks at the impact of the disease.
Al-Harazi trial jury retires
A verdict in the trial of a man accused of fatally stabbing his wife inside their Gordon home could be delivered soon.
The jury for the trial of Maged Mohommed Ahmed Al-Harazi, 36, has retired to consider the case.
Mr Al-Harazi, 36, is on trial in the ACT Supreme Court for allegedly killing Sabah Al-Mdwali, 28, after a heated argument in the early hours of March 17, 2015.

Commuters travel free in outage
It was a lucky day for Canberra commuters on Wednesday, when they got to travel for free on the city's ACTION buses after the MyWay ticketing system went down.
A system-wide error meant all Transport Canberra and City Services buses were unable to log into the MyWay system.
Passengers could not tap on or off the bus, and travelled free.
Katie Burgess has the details.
ACT's private sector growth
Grant Montgomery, publisher of the EL Index, said advertised positions in technology and general management doubled in Canberra during the past month.
He said this was driven by private-sector demand.
