  • NEWS WEAKLY – 21 Dec, 2024

    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?'"
