LIGHTS, CAMERA, LAWYERS
Actor Rebel Wilson is one of Australia’s favourite and most successful comedic exports. But there’s nothing funny about the predicament she currently finds herself in. What should have been a highlight of her career, directing her first feature film, has instead turned into a drama of blockbuster proportions.
Wilson is in a toxic dispute with the $15 million project’s producers and a lead actor. Accusations of sexual misconduct, embezzlement, lying and bullying now form the core of multiple defamation cases. The allegations are contained in legal documents, but remain untested in court.
However, as Tara Brown reports, the prospect of having a courtroom as a stage, and lawyers not moviegoers as an audience, is not a performance Rebel Wilson wants to laugh about.

FINNISH YES, FINISHED NO
At 34, Sanna Marin marked her name in history by not only becoming the prime minister of Finland, but also one of the world’s youngest leaders. From 2019 she ruled the northern European country that borders Russia at a particularly strained time, first through the COVID pandemic and then as Russian dictator Putin launched his invasion of nearby Ukraine.
Her calmness in a crisis earned distinction, but she also attracted plenty of controversy. In particular, Marin’s partying ways proved divisive. While many Finns applauded their no-nonsense leader, just as many tut-tutted her un-prime-ministerial behaviour.
Marin left office in 2023, but as Dimity Clancey reports, when she did, still as a very young woman, she faced a dilemma: how to prove there really was life after politics.
