Long read. On a scarifying and revealing campaign.

With a week left, what have we learnt about Albanese (if he wins, he's in sight of becoming the 2nd-longest serving Labor PM after Bob Hawke) and Peter Dutton (trying to unseat the first new government since 1929)?

The last thing Australia needs is the Turkish treatment in Trump's new world Australia is betting all its security chips on an ally turning inwards, not least because America's own ability to fund a global security umbrella is limited.

Sunday column is up... now that Albanese is doing a budget, it needs to recognise the real cost of our splintering world.

Albanese's hesitancy won't help his chances of a long-term Labor legacy The prime minister's Overton window is the size of a porthole but the paradox of Albanese's policy conservatism is that he's left Peter Dutton with very little to unwind should the Coalition win.

Tap tap. Does this thing work?

On opportunity squandered in a nation adrift. Voters poised.
