AUKUS is a disaster for Australia. Trump has given us an out – let’s take it
We were never likely to get any submarines, and all the deal does is tie us ever closer to an increasingly volatile and aggressive America.

In 1977, Don Chipp had a vision to offer Australian voters the choice to support a party with a difference. Today is our birthday. We're still here, and we're still living the same values Don envisioned

"The country that elected Tony Abbott in 2013 is gone. It has been replaced by a volatile, culturally diverse, values-driven, and economically anxious electorate, one that expects serious answers on housing, inclusion, climate, and fairness."

The Liberals are fundamentally mismatched with modern Australia
The party is ignoring the realities, identities, and aspirations of the people who will determine its electoral future.

A message from WA State President Lisa Griffiths on this penultimate day of the election, on why she pours her time and energy into the Australian Democrats (spoiler: she cares. And she wants better for Australia).

No matter who, it's important to keep them honest
The work is far from over if we keep Peter Dutton and the Coalition out, writes Angela Priestley.
The first step is preventing a Dutton Government. Next comes holding a second-term Albanese Government to acount and remaining vigilant.

Dear alternative Prime Minister Peter Dutton: Neither the ABC nor Guardian Australia is “the hate media” as you assert. This is an egregious smear/incitement. A robust liberal democracy needs a free and questioning media. By misrepresenting ABC/Guardian you expose your illiberalism.
