EDITORIAL: We have never lived in an era in which the political processes are viewed with so much distrust.

EDITORIAL: Historically our Defence programs have been too often beset by costly delays. We need this new structure to get up and running quickly so it can get down to work.

EDITORIAL: The Prime Minister can’t kick back while the cost-of-living crisis roars back to life.

EDITORIAL: The move by Labor to subject gas projects to more onerous assessment processes is entirely at odds with Anthony Albanese’s previously stated strong support for the industry.

EDITORIAL: The public service’s continued bloat is strangling private sector growth. Will the Albanese Government have the guts to make the cuts necessary to rein it in?

EDITORIAL: An anti-net zero stance will render the Liberals unelectable to a certain class of voters, but if they can show Australians a credible and affordable energy plan, the tide may turn.

The News Bargaining Incentive will encourage recalcitrant tech companies to reach deals with local news publishers or face tax penalties. It’s something we need now more than ever.

EDITORIAL: Sussan Ley’s name will be added to the long list of Australian leaders who’ve met their demise as a result of climate policy.
