The legislation will turbocharge inequality and the climate catastrophe – and it’s all part of the administration’s plan to radically reshape American society.

Last week, President Donald Trump announced that the United States had signed a trade deal with China. Did it though?

Despite demands from the hawks that the Australia Government fall in line with the United States over Iran, it’s not inevitable that Australia supports illegal American military intervention.

Australia, like Little Sir Echo, whimpers after the world’s premier bully bombs the ‘bully of the Middle East’.

By reviewing the deal, Trump has given the Australian Government an opportunity to get out of the disastrous AUKUS agreement.

Australia traded sovereignty for security with the AUKUS submarine deal, but it might end up with neither.

On a whistlestop tour of Fiji, Tonga, and Vanuatu in May, Foreign Minister Penny Wong wanted to focus on climate change, security, and aid funding.

Donald Trump’s review of AUKUS, announced overnight, is a chance to escape what was always going to be a disastrous deal for Australia.

“You just [expletive] shot the reporter!” Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi was in the middle of a live cross, covering the protests against the Trump administration’s mass deportation policy in Los Angeles, California. As Tomasi spoke to the camera, microphone in hand, an LAPD officer in the background appeared to target her directly, hitting her in

The US secretary of defense, Pete Hegseth, may not be the sharpest tool in President Trump’s tool kit. But, in the great American tradition, he is a top hustler. In an arrogant display that would have won Trump’s approval, Hegseth blustered his way around the Shangri-La conference in Singapore’s clammy weather last week in what resembled an ugly American charm offensive. He omitted tariffs, though these were front of mind for everyone else.

Trump promised a golden age for the US economy – and now a golden dome to protect the continent.

Trump’s confrontation of South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was about trying to show who’s in charge.

Information about China’s foreign policy – particularly on issues like the trade war with the US, Australia’s position on Taiwan and the war in Ukraine – is often misleading, with much of the meaning and nuance lost in translation.

MUST-READ EXPERT ANALYSIS OF THE BEN ROBERTS-SMITH JUDGEMENT

Donald Trump isn’t an aberration – he’s as much a product of American history as JFK or Barack Obama.

In a world of uncertainty, it is more important than ever for Australia to stop dismissing ourselves as a ‘middle power’ and start exerting our influence on the global stage.

Australia’s Pacific neighbors say the re-election of the Albanese government is “not a moment to celebrate”.

In the final days of the campaign, independent MP Monique Ryan and Labor’s housing minister Clare O’Neil faced questions about the support of the Hubei Association for their respective campaigns.

The polls are pointing to a likely Labor victory on Saturday, but could Dutton’s suburban strategy still bear fruit?

For all the talk of defence spending in the election campaign, much of what Australians hold dear is being left behind.

The United States is disappearing down an authoritarian rabbit hole and Australian leaders are struggling to respond.

Dutton’s nuclear push will cost renewable jobs As Australia’s federal election campaign has finally begun, opposition leader Peter Dutton’s proposal to spend hundreds of billions in public money to build seven nuclear power plants across the country has been carefully scrutinized. The technological unfeasibility, staggering cost, and scant detail of the Coalition’s nuclear proposal have

However well the 47th president hit ‘em in Florida, he cannot find a green with his tariffs.

It’s chaos out there.

The Australian defence and foreign policy establishment is trying to continue with alliance-as-usual with America, but Trump will always put Australia’s interests second.

Americans are going to bear the brunt of Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs.

The Trump administration’s approach to the world can be summed up in three emojis: fist, American flag, fire. The president, meanwhile, is busy “not joking” about staying in office for an unconstitutional third term.

Trump has signed an Executive Order that seeks to dismantle the Federal Department of Education – but can he actually do it?

The will-he-or-won’t-he game over Trump’s steel and alumnium tariffs is over. Turns out he will – despite the apparent offerings of the Australian Government.
