Australia's childcare system is under fire again after a Sydney worker was charged with 329 offences allegedly committed across 62 centres, with 136 victims identified so far. Cricket Australia found itself at the centre of a media storm over reports it would scrap the anthem at the Australia Day Big Bash final, and we get into how the whole thing turned out to be a storm in a teacup. Plus, as the Dalai Lama turns 91, Beijing is manoeuvring to control his succession, setting up a looming fight over who the world recognises as the next one.

Get the week, covered.
