NEWS WEAKLY – 21 Dec, 2024

This week, Sami Shah is untangling the dramas behind an Olympian's defamation threats and Bluey's cinematic debut. Join the satire as Sami breaks down Australia’s cultural priorities with humour, insight, and a little existential despair.


Top Stories of the Week:

  1. Breaking Badly: How Raygun managed to turn Olympic mediocrity into a full-blown musical lawsuit.
  2. Bluey’s Big Screen Bark: Can a cartoon dog save Brisbane’s animation industry and Australian kids’ TV?


Quote of the Week:

"I mean, I thought my understanding of relationships going into my last marriage was very strong too, but there I was a few weeks later Googling 'how quickly can you get divorced?'"
