Summary PUBLIC MONEYThe speaker of Federal Parliament, Bronwyn Bishop, has flown into a storm of controversy over her decision to take a $5000 taxpayer-funded helicopter flight to a Liberal Party event, when driving would've only taken an hour. She says it's within the rules to claim the flight, but others say it was the wrong thing to do. So is following the rules enough when it comes to spending public money? Or do we expect more? We take a closer look.SHARK ATTACKSMick Fanning's dramatic brush with a shark during his World Surfing League final had the whole world talking about - and fearing - these predators of the deep.
