    Are universities about to become a political priority?

    • Erica Cervini
    • 23 April 2025

    Despite a lot of talk about education, neither of the major parties has talked about the funding of universities. However this federal election is likely to be determined by voters under the age of 45, the very group that rising university fees and HELP (higher education loan program) debts are hitting the hardest.

    Hope among the ruins

    • Danielle Terceiro
    • 16 April 2025

    Even in a world marked by war, exile and devastation, the Easter story offers a defiant hope: that ruin is not the end. Rooted in a vision of restoration beyond history’s violence, it speaks to a yearning deeper than despair — for justice, for peace, for a feast with no end.

    What the bishops chose not to say

    • John Warhurst
    • 10 April 2025

    As Australia approaches a federal election, the bishops have offered a statement of gentle encouragement themed around hope. Yet in its caution and generality, it raises questions about missed opportunities for moral clarity, national relevance, and a more engaged voice in public life.

    Liberation Day tariffs punish the poor

    • Binoy Kampmark
    • 08 April 2025

    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. But the math is dubious, the logic muddled — and the unintended consequences, as ever, potentially vast.

    Whose marbles?

    • Gillian Bouras
    • 04 April 2025

    The Parthenon Marbles have long stood at the centre of a cultural standoff between Britain and Greece — art or artefact, spoils or stewardship? As negotiations inch forward, the ancient stones carry modern weight, raising urgent questions about restitution, identity, and what it means to right the wrongs of empire.

    The quiet crisis in childhood vaccination

    • Jo Skinner
    • 03 April 2025

    Immunisation has protected communities for centuries, from early smallpox prevention in 200 BC to the eradication of deadly diseases. Yet today, vaccine confidence is slipping. Misinformation, social media, and shifting parental anxieties are fuelling a quiet backlash, raising urgent questions about trust and public health in a changing world.

    Trumpland abroad: The foreign policy of a deal-maker

    • Binoy Kampmark
    • 02 April 2025

    No one can predict President Trump’s next move on the global stage. But what appears to be chaos has a clear historical precedent, rooted in a long American tradition of swaggering, often improvisational power. In Trump’s hands, diplomacy is spectacle: alliances unravel, spectacle dominates and self-interest rules.

    Five years on, did we learn the wrong lessons from Covid?

    • David Hayward
    • 28 March 2025

    Covid offered a rare chance to reimagine the role of the state. What might have become a pivot to care and collective responsibility became a bonanza for entrenched interests. The crisis passed. Inequality returned. And the deeper reckoning that beckoned was quietly deferred, perhaps indefinitely.

    Why the debate over AFL origins won't go away

    • Jenny Sinclair
    • 28 March 2025

    The origins of Australian Rules Football are officially recorded, but not necessarily complete. As new questions emerge about Tom Wills, marngrook, and the silences in our national story, the game’s history becomes a mirror reflecting not only what we remember, but what we choose to forget.

    Europe prepares for war

    • Binoy Kampmark
    • 27 March 2025

    Europe’s escalating defence spending, driven by the Russian threat, marks a shift toward militarisation. The EU’s new budget plan, designed to free up billions for weapons and security, raises critical questions about how far Europe will go in fortifying itself and the long-term impact on its stability.

    Universities are placing limits on protests for student safety

    • Erica Cervini
    • 25 March 2025

    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.

    Synodality and the federal election: What should the bishops say?

    • John Warhurst
    • 25 March 2025

    As Australia approaches another federal election, the Catholic Church, long ambivalent about democratic politics, prepares to weigh in. Its official statement could play it safe, as in years past — or it could offer a deeper moral vision, confronting the global drift toward division with the quiet radicalism of synodality.
