    Plus, the 3 simple phone settings experts say you should change now to help keep your kids safe online — without totally invading their privacy.

    And in headlines today Opposition leader Peter Dutton has been narrowly declared the winner of last night's third leaders debate; Labor has promised to protect women from financial abuse, making perpetrators liable for debt created in their victims name and blocking them from getting their victims super after death; The Coalition has promised an extra $21 billion to be spent on defence if they win at the election; A 4.6 magnitude earthquake has struck the Hunter Valley town of Singleton shaking residents of parts of Sydney awake just before 3am; The Pope now lays in state ahead of the funeral to be held on Saturday attended by dignitaries including Prince William; The Academy who oversee the Oscars, will now enforce a rule that all who vote in the awards will have to prove they have watched all the movies that are nominated.
