“The private conversations in the Young Republicans’ Telegram chat were only marginally more racist and hateful than the language that’s out in the open, common on the most popular podcasts in America,” our columnist David French writes.

The Young Republicans’ Telegram chat was revealing in so many ways.

At this weekend’s anti-immigration rally in Melbourne, police turned their weaponry on left-wing counter protesters. Alex Zucco captured the clashes.

Victoria Police succeeded in keeping nationalist and anti-racist demonstrations separate, but only by deploying immense violence against the left-wing rally as clashes erupted around the CBD.

This on nature and urban design in Copenhagen almost makes me want to weep. In our current debate nature is framed as the enemy, a "blocker", of development when, in fact, it almost defines quality of urban life. This is what our future should look like- for all.

A flashback to 2013 when the Qld LNP were last in government and the health cuts were at their height. The waitlist to see specialists increased so much no new appointments could be made. #qldpol youtu.be/GJaHvgRJUjU

“I’ve told the story of Akromiya for twenty years. I’m telling it again now, because today is No King’s Day, and I am afraid that “Antifa” is the American Akromiya: a fabricated entity made by state propagandists to persecute anyone who opposes the government.”

Inventing Antifa
In 2005, the Uzbek government invented a group called “Akromiya” to justify massacring protesters. Now I worry the US government will do the same.

The US brought in nearly $30 Billion in tariffs in July, triple the amount collected in previous years

That's not good news

Tariffs are taxes on Americans

That $30B was collected from you and me when we bought food, clothes, electronics...

The way that housing co-ops work in Switzerland may seem foreign to many. But the central idea is simple: What if homeownership had no profit motive and no capital gains? Advocates say their model could reshape how the world thinks about affordable housing. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/26/r...

We humans are all one species.

The stupid concept of race was created by European nobles. They told people that looked like me that they were superior to people that didn't look like me so that we would commit the atrocities of colonialism. #auspol www.instagram.com/reel/DHYzoT0...

When Judith "apologised" for saying teachers earn $147k, she then got another dig in by saying that teachers get 3 months holiday a year. By that measure, do MPs only work on the days parliament is sitting (about 90 days according to Google)? #NZPol

Disasters like the algal bloom in SA are becoming more and more frequent due to climate change.

Australia Institute research shows a climate disaster fund, paid for by big polluters, would save taxpayers tens of billions of dollars a year. #auspol
