Fire-ravaged shire demands fossil fuel companies foot climate disaster bill A Victorian council still cleaning up after a bushfire that wiped out more than 50 homes and businesses wants fossil fuel companies to pay for climate disaster recovery.

Excellent idea! I have no doubt that our prime minister will immediately ignore it. Or, if he's feeling unusually proactive, he will reject it. #Australia #anthonyalbanese #australianlaborparty #australianpolitics #environment #climatecrisis #fossilfools #fossilfuel www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Patriotism or politics – the fight over the flag As populism rises, the Australian flag is being used as a political tool – defining patriotism and drawing lines around national identity.

The Australian flag is back at the centre of politics – used to define patriotism and draw lines around who belongs.
From Malinauskas to the Coalition and One Nation, the battle over national symbols is intensifying, Marian Sawer writes.

Labor’s 2025 landslide – but Australia remains divided A new book on the 2025 election reveals Labor’s commanding win – but also a fragmented electorate, a weakened opposition and a volatile political landscape.

Labor’s 2025 landslide reshaped parliament – but not the electorate.
A new analysis shows a nation still split between major parties and a growing bloc of independents and minor parties, John Warhurst writes.

Albanese’s politics of avoidance From AUKUS to Gaza and now Iran, the government’s instinct has been to avoid political traps rather than confront hard choices – and voters are drifting away.

From AUKUS to Gaza and now Iran, the Albanese government’s first instinct has been to avoid being wedged.
But a politics of caution and compromise risks hollowing out support as voters look elsewhere for leadership, John Menadue writes.

Australian Greens Condemn US-Israeli Strikes on Iran and Criticize Labor Government's Support The Australian Greens have strongly opposed the recent joint US-Israeli military strikes on Iran, which began in late February 2026 under President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. These actions, described by the Greens as illegal breaches of international law and wars of aggression, have caused significant chaos in the Middle East, including reported civilian deaths such as at least 60 children in strikes on a school in southern Iran. The Greens condemned the Iranian regime's oppression and supported the Woman Life Freedom movement but argued that US-led bombing will not liberate Iranians, instead killing innocents, destroying infrastructure, and deepening poverty and fear. They highlighted the likelihood of Australian involvement through joint US-Australian facilities like Pine Gap and North West Cape, which may provide intelligence or targeting assistance. Greens Leader Senator Larissa Waters called the attacks abhorrent and unilateral, urging the Albanese Labor government to withdraw all support—no resources, intelligence, or base access—and to end AUKUS. Foreign Affairs spokesperson Senator David Shoebridge criticized Labor for outsourcing foreign policy to Washington, comparing it to past US-led wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan that brought destruction rather than democracy. The Greens positioned themselves as the only anti-war party in federal parliament and called for Australia to promote peace, diplomacy, and refuge for Iranians fleeing the regime. This stance contrasts with the bipartisan support (from Labor and Coalition) for the US actions, amid broader international debate over the strikes' legality and goals, which include degrading Iran's military and nuclear capabilities and potentially inducing regime change.

The Liberal review explains the defeat – but not the path back The leaked review of the Liberal Party’s 2025 election defeat details campaign failures and organisational problems. What it avoids is the harder question: what policies or direction might rebuild support.

The leaked Liberal Party review dissects the failures of the 2025 campaign – leadership, organisation and messaging. But it offers little about the policies or direction needed to win voters back, David Solomon writes.

Albanese’s decision will follow him into the history books – and define us too Anthony Albanese’s refusal to assist Australian women and children in Syrian detention camps may prove to be the defining act of his prime ministership – not for its prudence, but for what it reveals about leadership, moral courage and the limits of political calculation.

Anthony Albanese’s refusal to assist Australian women and children in Syrian detention camps will define his prime ministership, not as caution but as moral failure and political smallness, writes Jack Waterford.

The Coalition decision that locks the Liberals out of the cities By returning to Coalition with a declining National Party, the Liberals have doubled down on policies and demographics that alienate urban voters and younger Australians.

The Nationals are a declining electoral force and increasingly out of step with Australia’s cities. By clinging to Coalition, the Liberals have locked themselves into demographic decline, writes Crispin Hull.
