Even more US military assets coming to Australia. More US bases. More US weapons. Celebrating a dominant foreign government sending its military into our harbours and cities and taking multiple footholds here … it’s cringeworthy, tragic and wrong.

EVs beat petrol cars on lifetime emissions — even on “dirty” grids.
Battery production is carbon-intensive, but EVs quickly repay that debt and end up 21–71% cleaner over 250,000 km.
We can’t wait for perfect grids: electrify transport and clean the grid now.

Gaza and the unravelling of the post-war world
The war on Gaza exposed deep cracks in international law, Western power, and the institutions meant to enforce them. From global protests to shifting alliances, a different world order is now taking shape.

Time to stop tiptoeing around and step on the gas to ease inflation
For a decade, a disaster has unfolded. We've run short of gas through indecision and incompetence, and that's driving energy costs and inflation. We need a solution and an unlikely source may have one...

Running out of patience with Labor’s caution
To fade away cautiously is an option but to burn out through reform, leaving an Australia genuinely changed for the better, is another. History suggests that only the latter is truly worth the cost.
