EDITORIAL: Australians want strong leadership to guide them through these tumultuous times. Instead, they’ve got Anthony Albanese.

EDITORIAL: Donald Trump’s provocative and error-filled social media post, which came as Ukraine was left out of settlement talks between US and Russia, is an abrupt departure from strong support for Ukraine. 

EDITORIAL: After 40 years, gas resources in the North West Shelf are dwindling. Opening up new gas fields to the north could extend the project’s life. But its success is under threat.

EDITORIAL: There’s a danger that the RBA’s decision to cut rates will do more to remind mortgage-holders of just how much their repayments have risen than it will to overwhelm voters with feelings of gratitude.

According to the collective wisdom of Australia’s economists, a rate cut on Tuesday is already a done deal. But there are compelling reasons why holding out for a few more weeks might be the right way forward.

EDITORIAL: Albo desperately wants a rate cut so Australians start to forget the financial pain they’ve suffered across the past three years of his Government before he has to ask them to give him another go. 

EDITORIAL: Are the two NSW nurses caught boasting about killing Israeli patients under their care just a couple of rogue, blustering idiots? Or is their murderous rhetoric a symptom of a deeper sickness?

EDITORIAL: The term ‘anti-Semitism’ — now so frequently used in our national discourse — isn’t a strong enough word to capture the despicable boasts of two NSW nurses made on a TikTok video circulating online.

Australia has been dumped in the thick of Donald Trump’s trade war and the economic ramifications could be dire. 

Repeatedly, Anthony Albanese has refused to divulged when and how he was told of the plot. The only conceivable reason for his continued obfuscation on this issue is that he was among the last to know. 

EDITORIAL: Like it or not, we’re now living in a Trumpian world where the accepted rules no longer apply. That’s a fact Anthony Albanese needs to start taking both seriously and literally. 

EDITORIAL: No wonder Australian voters are totally disillusioned with their political system when our leaders are regularly taking the piss, thinking our money is theirs to spend. 

EDITORIAL: Despite halfhearted reassurances from Penny Wong and others that Australia is unlikely to become a direct target in Donald Trump’s self-destructive trade war, we won’t be immune to its fallout.

EDITORIAL: It is an unbelievable state of affairs if the Prime Minister was kept in the dark on an issue of vital national security.
