Keeping track of all the news in the week that was, is almost as hard as keeping focused on a Friday afternoon. So we decided to try and solve both those problems for you: with a Friday arvo highlight reel of all the bits you need to know.
Enjoy.
Australia
1. The Coalition have introduced their genius policy to stop the boats: Don’t tell anyone that they haven’t stopped the boats.
Previous governments have informed the media every time an unauthorised boat was intercepted by Australia navy personnel. But our new government have decided that they’ll inform the community and the media only ‘from time-to-time’.
And by ‘time to time’ obviously they mean they’ll whisper all the relevant info to whoever’s closest during half time at the NRL grand final. Labor are acting all like they’re not jealous that they didn’t think of it but they totally are.
2. Bob Katter made everyone feel okay about Australian politics again when he tweeted this:
“Has this gone feral?” My staffer replied… “Don’t you mean viral?” @justinbieber pic.twitter.com/SOekOEMVT2

Brynne finally looking elegant!
Great acceptance speech by that woman at the Emmys. It sure beats those nauseating ones where people blow smoke up other people's butts and thank everyone from the midwife who delivered them to the limo driver that dropped them at the venue.
