There was nowhere to hide as the destruction wreaked by Donald Trump’s ‘reciprocal’ tariffs reached the Australian stock market. 

EDITORIAL: Anthony Albanese says he will do what is necessary to stand up for Australian interests. At the moment, his actions don’t appear to match up to that rhetoric.

EDITORIAL: In this environment, it’s imperative that Australians have a leader who is always prepared to stand up for the nation’s interest, against any foe — or even so-called friend.

EDITORIAL: Donald Trump holds the ambitions of Anthony Albanese and Peter Dutton in his hands — whether or not the US President knows it or cares.

EDITORIAL: A hung parliament would leave Labor otherwise snookered. They’ll have no choice but to turn to the Greens. The minor party’s leader Adam Bandt is already licking his lips at the prospect.

EDITORIAL: As both leaders try to convince punters they’re worth a shot, let’s hope the theatre of the campaign doesn’t blinker them to what really matters. 

EDITORIAL: It is an insult to our intelligence that the Federal Government cobbled together this half-hearted Budget because the Prime Minister delayed calling the election.

EDITORIAL: Be warned. Sending the teals into the Parliament is dicing with a radical green agenda which would undermine the very industries which drive Australian jobs and inject billions into the economy.

EDITORIAL: Allowing Kevin Rudd to remain in Washington as our US Ambassador, despite his public criticism of Donald Trump, is a mistake Anthony Albanese refuses to correct. And it has likely come at a cost.

EDITORIAL: We cannot forget how the Albanese Government let down the Jewish community.

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.
