Good News Week was an Australian satirical panel game show hosted by Paul McDermott that aired from 19 April 1996 to 27 May 2000, and 11 February 2008 to 28 April 2012. The show's initial run aired on ABC until being bought by Network Ten in 1999. The show was revived for its second run when the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike caused many of Network Ten's imported US programmes to cease production. Good News Week drew its comedy and satire from recent news stories, political figures, media organisations, and often, aspects of the show itself. The show opened with a monologue by McDermott relating to recent headlines, after which two teams of three panellists competed in recurring segments to gain points. The show has spawned three short-lived spin-off series, the ABC's Good News Weekend, Ten's GNW Night Lite and Ten's skit-based Good News World.

Rove, formerly Rove Live, was an Australian television variety show which premiered on the Nine Network on 22 September 1999, before moving to Network Ten which aired the program from 2000 until November, 2009. The show was hosted by comedian Rove McManus, and featured an ensemble cast, who presented various segments throughout the course of the show. The show won the Logie Award for "Most Popular Light Entertainment Program" five times.

Coverage of the annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.

Good News Weekend, a ten-week special, focussed more strongly on popular culture than the news and frequently featured musical guests and stand-up performers. The shows were broadcast live, with the exception of a few prerecorded sketches. From Wikipedia.

This insightful and heroic film follows Mary's journey from victim to outspoken survivor. Following a brutal rape and bashing in Floods Lane Surry Hills in January 1996, the gay & Iesbian community held a ally in nearby Taylor Square as a public protest against homophobic violence. Mary, a mother of two and the survivor of the attack, spoke publicly about the incident. Sensing the anger and pan of her community, Mary talked about convening this outrage into positive action. In going public. Mary was making a statement that shame and guilt silences so many survivors of abuse, thus allowing perpetrators to continue repeating offences. Mary's Place is about the power of each individual to have an impact on reducing violence in our community and on our streets.
