Anthony Albanese
Whatever the limitations of Bob Geldof’s monetaristic approach to famine relief in Ethiopia, thousands of lives were likely saved as a result. Bringing about justice in Palestine will, however, require far more than charity, writes Ben Brooker.
Anthony Albanese is right that the Australian state has been sovereign for more than a century and its close military alliances with Britain and the US were not just struck freely, but enthusiastically. Peter Boyle argues that his big deceit is asserting that this is in our common interest.
Labor’s push to further tie Australia to US military ambitions, represented by AUKUS and the recent Talisman Sabre military exercises, puts us on a path to destruction, argues Pip Hinman.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is failing to win people to Labor’s commitment to the United States on AUKUS, which, as Peter Boyle argues, explains why he was less-than-honest in his John Curtin Oration speech.
Jillian Segal, with Labor’s support, wants to make it harder for people to oppose genocide and Zionism. Jonathan Strauss argues that this racist plan needs to be rejected.
Labor’s position is the culmination of a decades-long process of eroding United Nations’ convention commitments and obligations, argues Peter Henning.
Warlpiri Elder Ned Jampijinpa Hargraves wrote this open letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese demanding he take action to deliver justice for Kumanjayi White, the 24-year-old Warlipiri man who was killed by police in May.
The prime minister’s grovelling to United States President Donald Trump over Gaza and AUKUS has landed Australia in the odious and unenviable position of estrangement, distrust and contempt from its closest neighbours, writes Peter Henning.

Peter Boyle, Socialist Alliance candidate for the NSW Senate, joins the Green Left Show to discuss the result of the May 3 federal election, in which Labor won a landslide victory after a disastrous result for Peter Dutton and the Coalition.
In this election season, politicians will try to set the rules by which we must play so that they be taken seriously. Tony Smith argues that this is the way they avoid being genuinely answerable.
