In a move as nostalgic as it is economically incoherent, Donald Trump’s proposed global tariff hike promises to punish the world’s poorest nations while claiming to revive America’s rusted-out industries.

With America's reliability in question, Australia is rethinking what security really means. Should it double down on military self-reliance, or reconsider the cost of placing defence above all else? As alliances fray and power shifts, the country faces a deeper reckoning: whom can it trust—and at what price?

MEDIA
Across a range of divisive issues from gender to race to public health, newsrooms are increasingly blurring the line between reporting and advocacy.

Donald Trump’s return to the White House was the culmination of decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural fracture, forces the liberal elite ignored at their peril.

As Australia heads towards another federal election, the influence of big money in politics looms larger. In the U.S., billionaires and corporate interests have eroded trust in government. Campaigns there cost billions of dollars, while ours, for now, do not. But can we keep it that way?
