Why is Labor cutting EV subsidies? Recent gains in electric vehicle uptake have persuaded the government to roll back subsidies, despite Australia continuing to trail global peers and the threat of fuel supply shortages.

His protege, Matt Canavan, now faces the next great battle against her * Get our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcast Ron Boswell had one of the great campaign slogans of Australian politics. “He’s not pretty, but he’s pretty effective,” corflutes, billboards and television commercials for the Queensland National proclaimed in 2001, as he prepared for the greatest battle of his political career, taking on the firebrand One Nation leader, Pauline Hanson, to retain his senate spot.

A political cartoon by Megan Herbert in which a journalist asks Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, " Have you just committed us to a war?" And the PM responds, " No, I've committed us to a (preemptive retaliatory de-escalation action to protect and defend Australians and other citizens in response to a request by our new strategic partner by sending defensive missiles & surveillance equipment to protect the airspace and assist the region with its collective self-defence against reprisal attacks that come as a result of the ongoing operation launched as an anticipatory response to perceived threats by historical allies acting against the established international rule of law who are too powerful for us to in any meaningful way challenge.) There's a very big difference." The words in brackets are arranged in such a way that they completely fill the word WAR written in a huge, hulking, bold khaki font.

A war by any other name.

Joe Rogan Says Trump’s Supporters Feel ‘Betrayed’ by Iran War

‘“It just seems so insane,” said Mr. Rogan, who endorsed Mr. Trump in 2024 & said he still texted with him on occasion. “He ran on no more wars: End these stupid, senseless wars. And then we have one that we can’t even really clearly define why we did it.”

Four frames. Title: “The rules”. Albo and Penny Wong at a lectern. 1. Albo: “Some of you have asked if rules still apply, so we’d like to clear things up.” Wong: “Obviously we shouldn’t kill!” 2. Albo: “However, if you hurt or kill someone and enough people agree they were bad, then the rules aren’t up to us.” Wong: “It’s a ‘matter for them’” 3. Albo : “Also, if you get someone else to do the killing for you and someone accuses you of it, that’s ‘a conspiracy’” Wong: “Against the rules!” 4. Plus, if thousands of innocent people get killed when you kill the bad person, you must focus on the six people you saved.” Wong: “That’s the rule!”

The rules.

North Korea’s shady tactics show Matildas must be ready for more than football Australia are no strangers to the team’s bizarre protests but they will need to keep frustrations in check in Women’s Asian Cup quarter-final Boos are barrelling around Parramatta Stadium. Wang Shuang, China’s star midfielder who had given her side a 2-1 lead in stoppage time of the first half, is gesturing to the crowd to get louder. The referee is in the centre-circle, staring furiously at the sideline where all of North Korea’s players are gathered, refusing to return to the field. Their captain, An Kuk-hyang, keeps pointing at the VAR screen and then, condescendingly, to her own eyes. Wang’s goal had initially been ruled offside but was then awarded after VAR review.
