The Liberals are dead and the rot will kill its moderates. What next?
With the Liberals facing terminal structural problems, and News Corp sticking the boot in, what are the solutions? A new party is hard work, which leaves only two real options.

'Background use only': How Labor justifies its silence on Gaza to the media

If Trump decided to take the US to war, the Australian government would have to actively delay American deployment to get those Australians home.
