News Fighters is back with our annual wrap of everything absurd and predictable in Australian news, politics, and media. From stinky flowers to manufactured shirt controversies, from mushroom murders to Momdani and fake peace prizes, from ICE raids to algal blooms, from criminal heists to hijacker takedowns, and from net zero abandonment to election campaign backflips—2025 is a year of division and crime we can’t wait to forget.

Also Stefan Pazur looks at the year in showbiz, movies, TV and music.
