It’s been a heck of a week for words and actions, with the Women’s Summit in Canberra being met with a lot of criticism.

Next door, Minister Alan Tudge wants the curriculum to view history more favourably, and we look at who indeed that favours, and why.

Thankfully $1.50 Kmart plates have provided welcome relief, a true sign that we have run out of things to talk about.

And we’re banging on about a new Netflix show with Sandra Oh, and a page turner called The Midnight Library.
