As war rages, the climate suffers and inequality grows, the ancient idea of Jubilee feels newly urgent. Can an economy built on profit give way to one rooted in justice? Can the Church trade power for presence? Renewal may begin where the poor, the displaced and the earth come together.
Amid rising hate speech and tighter laws, something deeper festers. In a culture wired for outrage and shaped by tribal algorithms, we’re learning not just to disagree, but to despise. What happens when identity is built on enmity, and public debate becomes less about ideas and more about who we’re against?
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 Trump reshapes America’s role in the world, his rise reveals hard truths about democracy, populism, and power in the 21st century.
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.

Europe faces a moment of strategic recalibration as shifting U.S. priorities put transatlantic ties under strain, raising concerns about Europe’s defence standing. With war on its borders and internal divisions mounting, the European Union must rethink its role in an increasingly uncertain world.
With cuts to USAID, international aid programs confront mounting challenges. Amid evolving power dynamics and strategic realignment, humanitarian assistance now faces fundamental questions about its future.
In Broome, the work of the Royal Commission into Aboriginal Deaths in Custody uncovers not only personal grief but also the enduring systemic failures that continue to claim Indigenous lives. As the commission’s findings remain largely unimplemented, the question remains: why has Australia failed to meaningfully address the injustice of these deaths?
