Every public school kid in Queensland is celebrating today after finding out the state government is introducing a four-day school week. But how will it work for busy parents? We discuss.

Plus, Princess Mary of Denmark (yes our Mary) is in the headlines this week, with speculation about her husband, Prince Fredrick’s alleged affair with a Mexican socialite. But, is the commentary unfair or just part of the territory of being a royal?

And, our bests and worsts, which include a tricky ethical backflip and a cup-filling night out.

The End Bits: 

• Listen to our latest episode: A Very Heated Gwyneth Argument
• Read: These schools are moving to a four-day week and different hours. So how do parents feel about it?
• Read: Wait, what's going on with Princess Mary and Prince Frederik of Denmark?
• Read: Find the words': Dr Justin Coulson's plea after nephew's tragic death.
