In 1940, as fascism took hold, Winston Churchill famously described the world sinking into a new and sinister dark age. But I always think Churchill stayed focussed on the long game and remained optimistic at heart. That’s exactly how I feel about the U.S. now. No fascist state ever lasted.

Peter Dutton tried to fix his ‘woman problem’ by always appearing alongside female colleagues.

Andrew Hastie will challenge Sussan Ley and play the ‘race card’ next election. He thinks he can copy Trump better than Peter Dutton copied Trump.

Migration to Australia is restricted to skilled, family, humanitarian, defence and student visas. An increase in one category is typically balanced with a decrease in another as needed.

The terms ‘unplanned’ or ‘uncontrolled’ migration is dishonest, racist dog whistling from the right.

Trump is using his public office for personal retribution, ignoring the Constitution to create a dictatorship, and causing chaos to distract from the Epstein files.
