TOP STORIES OF THE WEEK

SOUTHEAST ASIA SINKS WHILE THE WORLD SCROLLS!

All that and more on News Weakly!

Hello and welcome to News Weakly, where we punch the news in the headlines weakly. I’m Sami Shah, a journalist and comedian who still hasn’t got his Christmas shopping sorted and is now starting to fully panic.



QUOTE OF THE WEEK"Climate change is the villain, but Australian mining is the guy standing nearby holding its bag."
