As Australia prepares to vote, the legacy of Petro Georgiou casts a long shadow, reminding us that politics can still be principled, compassionate, and deeply human. He reshaped multicultural policy, challenged cruelty, and proved that conscience has a place in party politics.
Across a range of divisive issues from gender to race to public health, newsrooms are increasingly blurring the line between reporting and advocacy. As language is reshaped to reflect activist priorities, and opposing views are treated as moral threats, journalism risks losing its most essential commitment: telling the truth plainly.
Frank Brennan wears his prominence lightly. A priest, lawyer, and tireless advocate for Indigenous rights and refugees, he is as at home in political corridors as he is at the dinner table, welcoming friends with stories and good cheer. Now, celebrating 50 years as a Jesuit, he reflects on faith, justice, and a life of service.

In a world obsessed with profit, simplistic narratives, and selective outrage, peace feels like a lofty ideal rather than a realistic goal. But what would it take to make peace more than a buzzword—and a true global reality?
Australia’s recent immigration detention laws reveal a stark shift in governance, prioritising power over human dignity. As families face indefinite separation and bureaucrats enforce policies with brutal efficiency, the High Court's rebuke offers a glimmer of ethical resistance. But can such laws truly claim legitimacy in a democratic society?
When High Court rulings challenge government policy, they usually prompt reflection and refinement. But for the Federal Government, a recent decision on non-citizen rights has sparked a legislative overreach, mirroring the Opposition’s hardline stance.
With unaffordable housing pushing families into impossible choices, homelessness affecting 120,000 people, and systemic inequities deepening, we must ask: What kind of society do we want to build — and for whom?
