Samantha Armytage hosts a 90-minute review of 12 months of news events.<\/p>\n
Key Highlights include:<\/p>\n
A Political Realignment: We examine how the cost-of-living squeeze put pressure on Aussies this year, as well as the road to the federal election that resulted in a stunning win for Anthony Albanese.<\/p>\n
The Second Coming of Trump: The return of Donald Trump to the White House and how his second term captivated the world.<\/p>\n
Crime & Consequences: The international obsession with the Erin Patterson triple-murder trial that ended with the sentencing of the \u201cMushroom Murderer\u201d. Plus, the escalating youth-violence crisis in Victoria and the ongoing manhunt for anti-government extremist Dezi Freeman.<\/p>\n
A Royal Reckoning: Scandal continued to plague the monarchy as King Charles stripped his younger brother, Andrew, of his titles.<\/p>\n
Global Flashpoints: From Chinese warships sailing off the Australian coast to the expulsion of Iran\u2019s ambassador, 2025 was a year of diplomatic tension. Yet hope emerged as a long-awaited Gaza ceasefire was finally brokered.<\/p>\n
Nature\u2019s Fury: Following devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, Australia faced its own \u201cbiblical deluge\u201d with record-breaking floods in North Queensland and the NSW mid North Coast.<\/p>\n
The Bright Side: Amid the chaos there were moments of pure joy in 2025. We relive the spectacular ocean landing that brought stranded NASA astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams home safely; the heartwarming return of Valerie the dachshund; and the celebrations in Brisbane for a remarkable NRL-NRLW \u201cdeadly double\u201d.<\/p>\n
