Greg Sheridan thinks the early Christians have lessons for today’s faithful – is he right?
In Greg Sheridan’s latest book, “pagan” Rome is a straw man, against which he posits early Christianity as the loving and brave hero.

Ahmed Ouf, a supporter of Palestine, is the independent candidate for Blaxland. His 12yo son and another boy were mowed down by a driver in a ute who then fled the scene. Both boys have injuries and are in Westmead Hospital. Zero coverage on ABC News website. 😔 #auspol #Islamophobia #AusVotes2025

Dutton echoes Trump, Musk and Carlson by peddling Great Replacement Theory
Peter Dutton is now peddling the Great Replacement Theory, an extremist ideology denounced as antisemitic in the US, but which has been mainstreamed by Elon Musk, Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

The media bubble-bathing of this absolute clown has to stop. It is deeply irresponsible to frame them as as a considered contributor to nuanced and delicate policy discussion (left) when they are simultaneously parroting “sovereign cit” nonsense in parliament (right). This helps *noone*.

BREAKING NEWS:
It is much worse than previously reported:
Not only were at least 30 federal attorneys who worked on January 6 cases fired, but all six of the FBI's most senior executives and multiple heads of field offices have been escorted out.
This is terrifying.

The way right-wing politics works so well in 2025 is by creating outrage & online wars & getting people upset about things that aren't actually happening
You then feed into it by seeing something that connects to your confirmation bias, getting angry about it & repeating it
It's like baiting fish
