The Sky News presenter's 'interview' with Israel's prime minister — a 'wartime leader' she considers of the same calibre as Winston Churchill — was pilloried as 'not journalism'.
It can be a sad time when love dies — but it can also be a time of renewal, of independence, of standing tall, of walking a new path. It's time.
The self-described dealmaker-in-chief was screwed over by the seductive Vlad the conqueror — and that was just the red-hot-carpet welcome. It got worse.
The US ambassador to Israel is in reality an activist for Israel and the Netanyahu government. He's 'disgusted' with plans for statehood but fine about plans to annex the West Bank.
At last! Sussan Ley has — with the help of News Corp and a couple of dumped-but-can't-shut-up ex-Liberal PMs — an issue to take the focus off her net-zero fiasco.
Australia and others have left the US and its foreign policy flakes and ideologues behind and are speaking up for Gazans.
If only it was as simple as world leaders showing leadership, humanity, decency, morality. Hah. In what universe? Certainly not Donald Trump's and Benjamin Netanyahu's.
It was exhilarating, mind-blowing, humanity-as-one when 100,000+ in Sydney marched for the wretched people of Gaza. Was it history in the making, or a mere footnote?
God forbid that skeletal Palestinians have only a US-Israel foundation's food aid to rely on. It's a sure bet the Lord would not be pleased when they end up dead or wounded.
The tyrannical and egomaniacal US president has set knees a'trembling with his vindictive threats of revenge, using tariffs and insults.
With an 'opposition' that's as useful as deckhands on a submarine, it's up to David Shoebridge and co to fight the good fight against a deal that's sinking fast.
The media ain't what it used to be, but then the times aren't what they used to be either.
The Liberal Party leader has gone from being one of the Parliamentary Friends of Palestine to being a parliamentary friend of Israel.
As the plot thickens, the nonagenarian media mogul has on one hand left Teflon Don out in the cold, but on the other kept him warm in the smoodging BS of Fox.
As the prime minister kicks back in his king-of-the-world chair, all around him in the chamber is chaos as the Greens eat their own and the Coalition dines on chaos.
Voters massacred the Liberals and blood is still on the walls. They need not only mops but sturdy yard brooms to sweep out debris left by Abbott, Dutton and Morrison.
... no eye rolls. Smile, nod, don't look bored, and FFS, do not let on that he's wrong, wrong, wrong. (Good luck, and godspeed.)
Labor hitman's moral outrage in his defence of the antisemitism envoy could perhaps be better utilised looking at due diligence and transparency in government appointments.
The highly critical reactions to Jillian Segal's report and the revelation that her husband had donated to a far-right lobby group puts the prime minister in the hot seat.
The multimultibillion-dollar deal cooked up in secret by 'minister for everything' Scott Morrison saturates politics and the media — and yet Australians get to know so little.
The Donald has surrounded himself with batshit crazy 'advisers', and supreme among them is tech gazillionaire Peter Thiel, a passionate hater of anything green.
Once again the federal department that's at the centre of demands for a huge budget increase has its dysfunction and inefficiency exposed.
The man who hungers to take the Coalition back to power relies on a mix of obfuscation, fudges, exaggerations and distortions. But do the old ways work?
The media have whipped themselves up into a frenzy over our 'weak' PM and how much the Donald dislikes him. Good story. Shame it's not true.
When the National Anti-Corruption Commission was established it carried with it the wishes and dreams of the country. They've gone up in smoke.
Love means always having to say you're sorry, and Mark Rutte has taken on the sins of the father with fawning servility.
The plot thins as a glory-hungry US president co-writes scenes with a bloodthirsty Israeli prime minister, both vying for stardom on the world stage.
Truth be told, trust in the national broadcaster and other media is fragile, and Australians are entitled to know what journalists are paid for outside gigs, for what, and how much?
Anthony Albanese should grovel before Donald Trump, shovel more money into defence, toe the line, be a good boy.
When mad, bad plotters and schemers salivate over chief mad, bad plotter and schemer Donald Trump, take cover. There's a perfect storm on the way.
What would Jesus say about the most scorned and disparaged of Australia's former prime ministers being given the country's highest honour?
The US president and the world's richest man have spectacularly fallen out, and the world is mesmerised by the maniacal repercussions.
The prime minister will be laughing all the way to the next election as the US president's hostile, erratic and madcap executive orders boost Labor into the stratosphere.
They did it their way ... and look where that got them. Never fear! Tony Abbott, director and producer of failure after failure, has come to the rescue.
The lord works in mysterious ways, but our former PM's prayers were answered and led him to unravel the secret of god's plans for him.
The national broadcaster's flagship Four Corners last night didn't dig deep into the Coalition's entrails, scarcely scraping the surface. And its execs need some friendly advice.
From the Liberals to the Nationals to the media, the 2025 election massacre keeps on claiming scalps. And watch out! Abbott’s about!
The Liberals and Nationals have called it quits … for the time being. The couple apparently needs space… but other suitors are hovering.
Tell 'em they're dreaming. And delusional. Their influence has waned to the point of ignominy, as has that of their fellow travellers.
The mad, bad and increasingly dangerous American president was a winner for Labor this election. But Australia will be the biggest loser if it sticks with him.
The election of Sussan Ley to head the Liberals is just one more skirmish in the savage internecine war that will continue spilling blood on the party room's floor.
The Libs say they'll look hard at why they were massacred by voters on Saturday and who can save them. If Angus Taylor is their saviour, they're in deep trouble.
The former PM rose from Peter Dutton's ashes on Saturday night to propose the way forward for the dead, buried and cremated Libs: back to the future.
The opposition leader has sunk to nauseating levels in his self-righteous drive for power and the prime ministership. He must be stopped.
Election day on Saturday will be the culmination of five weeks of an uninspiring campaign. Or maybe that's just us? Over to you.
Kim Williams damaged not only his role but also his and the national broadcaster's reputations when he went into bat for a pushy, passé pub act.
The US vice-president demanded to see the failing Francis, exposing the Trump White House's total lack of humanity, sincerity and understanding of the meaning of Easter.
The opposition leader is drowning not waving as his campaign gaffes and shocking errors of judgment scupper his campaign.
The Coalition is policy-lite and hostile to the idea of government. Waiting in the wings are the right-wing groups, powered up and ready to fill the void.
The opposition leader is leading the Coalition right down the gurgler as he lurches from one embarrassing cock-up to the next.
As the US lurches into a constitutional crisis under the administration of a hardened con artist, our politicians will have nowhere to hide when the shock waves hit our shores.
The black clouds of Donald Trump and his aggressive anti-'woke' proclamations from on high has settled like concrete on the Liberal leaders' shoulders.
The Donald's madness and mayhem on tariffs and a litany of other crazy man orders has introduced the new 'normal'.
Albanese and Dutton play Trump politics but neither will tackle the US alliance, even as the White House casts allies adrift.
The Victorian National Party senator has more front than a charging rhino, but with little to back up the chutzpah.
... because his devious 'Are you better off than three years ago?' line is a stark reminder of just how dreadful ScoMo's 'Christianity' demoralised Australia.
The chasm between what the two former allies consider shared values grows wider and deeper by the week.
On this night of nights for the opposition leader, the advice from his biggest supporters is 'Be brave!' Perhaps it should be: 'Don't smile!'
How many stuff-ups and insults have to emanate from Trump's White House before politicians and military brass decide it's time to cut and run?
The media moan about what looks like being an uninspiring campaign, but when they constantly go for the cheap and nasty, they force politicians to play it safe.
... until, of course, you get an eyeful of the mad, bad and dangerous Steve Bannon, king of the MAGA catastrophe.
It's all slash and burn for the shambolic US president — and the world is feeling the heat.
It's clear that conservatives including Peter Dutton now embrace the dogma of a mad, bad and dangerous US president. How could they sink so low?
The defence minister fawns and grovels to his US counterpart, a completely unqualified man with a tarnished history, leaving it up to a former PM to kick American arse.
Your time has come, mate. Give him the old what for. You know you want to.
Many Australians have lost faith in the US as an ally as the US president cosies up to Vladimir Putin. Is it time for Oz to think outside the box it finds itself locked into?
The US president's twisted mind is playing twisted mind games not only with Volodymyr Zelenskyy but with the whole world.
The opposition leader's canny investment skills have made him a very, very, very rich man. Not that there's anything wrong with that!
The president’s daughter-in-law has the big names lining up for their time in the sun with the highly skilled interviewer hired by Rupert purely for her talent.
Donald Trump, Rupert Murdoch and Vladimir Putin: three stooges, but no-one's laughing.
An orange-tinted-Musk-scented ill wind's a'blowin' around the world, blasting an icy chill over democracy, humanity and decency.
The Murdoch family is ripping itself apart, and the non-Fox media is having a ball with the ignominious car crash.
When the bad and the ugly leave the good in the dust, even the most hardened journo loses heart.
In this week’s The Scrum — dedicated to all things media — readers take the gloves off as we publish more of your thoughts and comments about how to save the ABC.
Bring back The Drum. Stand up to Murdoch. The Politics readers want their ABC to do much, much better.
The national broadcaster is under sustained fire from inside and out. Do you have a solution? Send it to thepoliticsau@protonmail.com and we will publish a selection.
The national broadcaster petted and patted the loudmouth Parrot to curry favour with its critics. It was a bird-brained idea.
The Scrum, our weekly look at Australia’s media, is back. And what a time, with man of the people Donald J. Trump sweeping all before him.
It’s tech billionaires and influencers who’ll rule in America after Donald Trump takes the keys to the White House. How long before they take the reins in Australia?
The former PM has lost his integrity — and his dignity — by not standing by his convictions about “the most destructive president in history”.
The convicted felon ran a hypermasculine campaign with grievance at its heart. It delivered for the tech bros. And it heralds the fall of a once great democracy.
As the former prime minister and Australia’s elite suck up to a convicted criminal, our nation shudders with shame.
The opposition leader knows no shame and is driving Australian politics lower than it has ever been.
Is the PM just another political grifter? Integrity can fly out the porthole in the few short steps between economy and business.
The American election is in 14 days. Our national broadcaster has produced a fascinating and chilling take on what might happen on day 15.
The world has become a dark place — and it will get even darker should the conspiracist-in-chief win the US election.
The Murdoch media are at it again, confecting a political crisis out of very little — in this case the prime minister’s decision to buy a house. Now they are saying going to be challenged for his job because the optics aren’t great. WTAF?!
Anthony Albanese’s decision to spend $4.3 million on a Central Coast home for him and his future wife has blown up onto the clifftop property with cyclonic ferocity. But is it a confected and hypocritical outrage?
She may be a young and inexperienced player in Australian politics — she was elected as a Western Australian senator for Labor in 2022 with 1681 first preference votes — but Fatima Payman doesn't lack confidence. So confident is she that after leaving the Labor Party she is now setting up a political party, Australia's Voice, with a remit apparently to help the disenfranchised, all in the name of changing politics.
When and why the heck did this thing start? Journalist David Hardaker, who lived in the Middle East for many years and covered the 2006 Israel/Hezbollah war, delves into the horror of October 7 and what it means for the region 12 months on.
David Speers was born to be on television. The host of the ABC’s Insiders, is calm, unflappable. He is able to pirouette gracefully from the set-piece interview to a discussion panel, commanding the studio like a maestro. Speers is a master of the art of television and the art of politics. And this is why his program represents so much that is wrong with the ABC and the Canberra political commentator class.
Yesterday we asked for your thoughts on why America is so dumb. The question triggered a huge response with your observations ranging from the poetic to the acerbic. From 5,000 words of argumentation five main themes emerged.
The wonder of our times is how the USA has fallen so far, so fast such that it might re-elect Donald Trump. The Politics would like to nail down why this has happened and we're asking you to pitch in with your thoughts via our secure email, thepoliticsau@protonmail.com
How rewarding it's been to hear from Alexander Downer, Australia’s longest-serving foreign minister as he has weighed into the debate about the AUKUS pact, following a fresh round of criticism from old Labor luminaries.
The Australian media spends huge amounts of time sniping at each other but this week the tensions bubbled over into all out war. It had veteran onlookers appealing for calm - as though separating drunks at a pub brawl.
The corruption of government has been rampant and it’s time for the National Anti-Corruption Commission to step up to the plate.
Whatever you call him, mainstream media has a lot to learn from Julian Assange

She was the traumatised victim of rape, and then her character and integrity were raped as well. But she has shown she has guts and immense inner strength.
The Sky News presenter’s ‘interview’ with Israel’s prime minister — a ‘wartime leader’ she considers of the same calibre as Winston Churchill — was pilloried as ‘not journalism’.
The Nats MP’s anti-climate action dictums describe impoverished small businesses and people living in their cars but not the fires and floods devastating regional Australia.
As outraged and heartbroken Australians marched around Australia at the weekend, just whose ‘values’ are propelling the Israel-Hamas humanitarian nightmare in Gaza?
A Senate inquiry will be out for blood as it seeks climate and energy truth, a subject often misinformed by far-right anti-net zero, anti-renewables rabble rousers.
