G20 summit agenda: Hold koala, smile

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott didn't want anything to distract from talks about the economy at the G20 summit in Brisbane. That's why, ostensibly, climate change didn't make the agenda.

This fear of distraction, however, does not apparently extend to koalas. How could it? We're in Australia! Koalas help keep us on track. The more koalas the better.

The G20 may not be known as a productive forum where world leaders get together to hash out complicated issues relating to our global society, but it's not a total bust. Almost everyone got to hug a koala.

1) Jimbelung the koala knows what he has to do. Which makes one of you, President Rousseff.

2) In koala, eye contact means "help"

3) Each embrace, more forceful than the last.

4) Yet we endure.

5) Jimbelung knows the difference between "laughing at" and "laughing with," Ms. Lagarde.

6) German Chancellor Angela Merkel says not so fast

7) It's been a rough week. Let the man have his koala.

8) Tony Abbott and Russian President Vladimir Putin. More than a koala in common.

9) You going to the afterparty?

10) I'll be there, Modi. In one sec.
