What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger?
Dow 50,000 is a milestone, not a measurement. The level of the Dow is basically arbitrary: it’s…

The Liberals want to scare voters about who’s entering the country. But a lot of their voters want no one coming in at all, writes Bernard Keane.
Taylor snares himself in Dutton's migration trap — because without migrants, we're f***ed
Angus Taylor faces the same problem as Peter Dutton on migration: you can scare voters about who's coming in, but what about demands to cut migration altogether?

Opinion | Australia demands migrants don’t bring foreign conflicts here, while thinking we can engage in those same conflicts without blowback. We’re wrong, writes Bernard Keane.

Good to see the govt considering diverting export gas to the 🇦🇺 market. This should apply to existing projects. There's simply no need for new gas.

Labor is targeting a domestic reservation system that would ensure enough extra gas to bring down prices but not so much that producers rein in output.
