EDITORIAL: Anthony Albanese must be privy to information no one else has. No one is saying he will win seats and increase his small majority. That would be a remarkable result. So why is he so confident?

EDITORIAL: Chalmers has begun to walk a fine line. It is a line which must balance what the nation needs — responsible financial management — against what Labor is about to offer up. A pre-election Budget.

EDITORIAL: Australians will need to evaluate whether Anthony Albanese has lived up to the promise he made to them on election night 2022. 

EDITORIAL: Trade Minister Don Farrell reckons there’s no point in a mercy dash to the US to try to convince Donald Trump of the folly of his steel and aluminium tariffs. 

EDITORIAL: Donald Trump’s tariff insult to Australia is no way to treat a mate. Especially one you’ve been friends with for over a century.

EDITORIAL: Barring a last minute miracle, it appears certain that Australia will not be spared from Donald Trump’s tariff binge which is threatening to destabilise the world economy. 

EDITORIAL: As Australians focus their nervous gaze on Cyclone Alfred as it continues to steam its way towards south-east Queensland, another potentially more destructive storm is brewing.

EDITORIAL: As we wait to find out just how bad the impact of Cyclone Alfred will be, take reassurance in the fact that we have been here before and we have come through. 

EDITORIAL: These are nervous times, for Australia and the world. Europe sits on a knife-edge, waiting to see if Donald Trump will make up with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

EDITORIAL: In this age of anxiety, Australians want clarity and strength from their leaders. So far, they’ve received little of that from Anthony Albanese.

EDITORIAL: Clearly, Donald Trump wants Ukraine to fold to Russia. That would be a catastrophe for the Western world, even if Mr Trump is too busy hero-worshipping Putin to see it. 

EDITORIAL: Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke’s national citizenship roadshow ahead of the Federal election looks like a blatant attempt to stack key seats with friendly voters.

EDITORIAL: All deception does is feed into the perception of Anthony Albanese and his Government as weak and untrustworthy and perpetuates a feeling of unease. 

EDITORIAL: Instead of calling China out for its dangerous antagonism, Anthony Albanese is sticking by the fantasy that all is well in our relationship.

EDITORIAL: Fatima Payman’s comments about Iran are a betrayal of women there and around the world whose rights are abused by authoritarian governments.
