As Reconciliation Week approaches, Australia confronts the unresolved challenge of constitutional recognition for First Nations peoples. The failure of the Voice referendum exposed deep divisions in both the political system and public trust. If progress is possible, it must begin with inclusion, bipartisan support, and a renewed commitment to meaningful change.
Pope Francis’s legacy is one of bold moral clarity: a Church allied with the poor, a planet in peril, and a global economy in need of reform. From synodal listening to fierce critiques of neoliberalism, his vision offers both rebuke and hope; a call to conscience in an age of crisis.
Khmer New Year in April 1975 began with promise but ended in horror. Days later, the Khmer Rouge seized Phnom Penh, emptied hospitals, executed officials, and began a genocide. Decades on, the trauma endures in refugee stories, in temples abroad, and in a regime still marked by repression and foreign influence.

As campus protests grow increasingly disruptive, universities face an uncomfortable choice: uphold students’ right to protest or ensure their safety and right to education. The debate over free speech and campus security has never been more urgent.
Myanmar’s military-led turmoil drives millions from their homes, bombs local communities, and keeps democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi behind bars. Once a nation of proud heritage and abundant resources, it now teeters on social and economic collapse. Our deep dive examines an enduring crisis and the determination powering an urgent call for change.
Amidst a rise in antisemitism globally, some in the Jewish community have raised concerns about echoes of historic anti-Judaism resurfacing within the Church. While Catholic leaders condemn overt hate, has the Church fully confronted its entrenched biases, or do old prejudices still affect its response in ways that go unnoticed?
In the wake of Elon Musk’s tumultuous Twitter takeover, the social media landscape has fractured, scattering digital discourse across competing platforms. Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon each offer a vision of what comes next, but will any replicate the vital, unruly town square Twitter once was?
Amongst hardening borders and rising ethnonationalism globally, those who resist rigid identity labels find themselves caught between worlds — too foreign for home, too foreign for here. If identity is both fluid and contested, can belonging ever be more than a temporary state?
