Labor backbencher Ed Husic says Islamophobia should be examined as part of Royal Commission into Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.

The LNP government passed legislation to deem the chant a ‘proscribed phrase’ – along with ‘globalise the intifada’. Here’s what to know about the laws

Longstanding Coalition supporters have jumped ship to One Nation. Former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce is the most high-profile defector. Sweaty, red-faced, possibly drunk, Joyce has been the mascot of agricultural capitalists since assuming office in 2005. For One Nation, Joyce is a prized link to the establishment, a well-connected powerbroker among Australia’s right for decades, having served twice as deputy prime minister.

It took two Labor leaders to help produce Monday night's violence in Sydney, proving Labor is not immune to a touch of the Trumps.

Friday 13 February is a fitting date for Angus Taylor to roll Sussan Ley as Liberal Party leader because Taylor represents a Trumpist MAGA horror show result for Australia’s social cohesion and democratic health.

Sussan Ley promised a Liberal Party that would move back to the centre. Instead, the right of her party has forced her to the fringes.

Gina Rinehart, James Packer, Mark Leibler and other business figures the major backers of right-wing lobby group Advance Australia.

Inequality keeps growing in Australia because we play by one rule — don't upset the rich.

The latest split in Australia’s conservative Coalition is yet another signal the old, established rules no longer apply.

No longer in Australia, just as they no longer apply in an ever more fractious and chaotic world.

The Old Order is breaking down and the New Order, under the quasi-leadership of the United States mogul king, appears to be causing chaos to divide and conquer.

It is impossible to view this week’s events without the broader context of the relationship between the Liberals and the Nationals, how the electoral map is changing and what that means for right-wing politics in Australia.

After weeks criticising the Albanese government over the Bondi attack and issues around antisemitism, the Coalition is split over whether proposed solutions are at odds with its interests in preserving freedom of speech.

Penny Wong remains silent on Israel's suspension of international aid organisations in Gaza, despite warnings from humanitarian groups.

After a month-long vitriolic campaign against the Palestine movement, the Labor government and the right to protest, the Greens have followed Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in capitulating to the ruling-class demand for a federal inquiry.

The Perth-headquartered company, Telco Services Australia, generated more than $185m in revenue in 2024-25 but reported no taxable income, new financial documents show.

The year before, it reported $130m in income and also paid zero tax.

The two-year reporting period coincides with the company’s multi-year $90m-plus contract to run call centre operations for Services Australia, the agency responsible for social security.

The royal commission is a win for the ruling class, which has mounted a weeks-long offensive to use the Bondi massacre to attack the Albanese government, the Palestine movement and civil rights more generally.

Jewish organisations urging Government to rescind invitation to Israel President Herzog, risks provoking mass protests and stoke antisemitism.

The political uproar around antisemitism in Australia this coming year will hinge on what happens in Gaza and the West Bank, as it did in 2025.
