Australia’s political class might make grand promises, but for those on the margins — homeless, underemployed, struggling with addiction — these pledges mean little. The people who have been left behind know the game is rigged. As elections approach, they watch from the outside, knowing their vote was never meant to count.
The Catholic Church has weathered centuries of crisis, from ancient schisms to modern scandals with each era bringing calls for reform. As Pope Francis reshapes the Church’s leadership, his successor must decide how the papacy will adapt to present and future challenges.

Donald Trump’s presidency, often dismissed as chaotic, follows a clear, transactional logic: power over principle, loyalty over institutions, and reshaping America into a high-stakes deal-making enterprise. But history suggests such a system cannot last. In the meantime, how should we respond?
The United States' recent shift in immigration policy towards exclusions and deportations is a modern moral reckoning. It underscores the tension between a society’s right to regulate its borders and its responsibility to uphold the dignity of those who already call it home.
