Police trial live face-scanning technology: what...

7am ·

2026/06/22

In Western Australia, police have just started trialling technology that can identify people as they walk past. A marked police van will scan faces outside major events, cross-checking them against a watchlist of people wanted by authorities. Police say it’s targeted and that innocent people have nothing to fear. But once this kind of surveillance is switched on, the question becomes how far it spreads, and who decides when it stops. Today, UNSW cyber security expert Professor Richard

2026/06/21

Anti-abortion activists say it was the most successful pro-life campaign in Australia - last week a bill to overturn abortion access after 25 weeks was voted through the upper house of South Australia’s parliament. It didn’t make it through the lower house, but women's advocates are still sounding the alarm amid a growing push against reproductive rights - led, in part, by One Nation. Pauline Hanson, once a supporter of a woman’s right to choose, has changed her tune, as her

Paul Barry on the billionaire who failed Whyalla

2026/06/20

In 2017, billionaire businessman Sanjeev Gupta rescued the Whyalla steelworks from administration, becoming known as the “saviour of steel”. There was hope in this small South Australian town that steelmaking – and the thousands of jobs tied to it – would survive. But since then, Gupta has lost control, the South Australian government has forced the steelworks into administration, and taxpayers are now underwriting the rescue to the tune of $2.4 billion. Now, the sale of the

Pauline Hanson and the end of political consequence

7am ·

2026/06/19

This week, Pauline Hanson took to the National Press Club stage with a greatest hits collection of the grievances that have fueled her political career. Immigration. Multiculturalism. Trans rights. Indigenous Australians. The “political elite”. The changing face of the country. The backlash from the government, sections of the community and commentariat was immediate. But that may no longer be enough. For years, Hanson has survived controversies that would have ended most political

Are the Socceroos the antidote to Pauline Hanson?

2026/06/19

This week, Pauline Hanson called for multiculturalism to be replaced with monoculturalism. At the same time, the Soccerros were capturing the hearts and minds of Australians everywhere on the biggest stage of all, the World Cup. It’s a team filled with players from multiple cultural backgrounds and one, that if Hanson’s vision of the nation came to bear, simply wouldn’t exist. Today, former Soccerroo and refugee advocate, Craig Foster. On the team that’s quietly challenging

2026/06/18

Parkinson’s is the fastest-growing neurological disorder in the world. And in some Australian farming communities, doctors are questioning why so many seem to be getting it. For years, some farmers and doctors have drawn a link to paraquat – a powerful weedkiller still used widely on Australian farms, despite being banned in more than 60 countries, including the UK, China and Brazil. This month, Australia’s chemical regulator is expected to decide whether paraquat can keep being

2026/06/17

For three decades, Pauline Hanson has built a career on grievance. In all that time she hasn’t fronted to the bastion of political journalism, the national press club. That was until yesterday where she appeared for the first time. In a long address she laid out how she aims to turn her politics of grievance into policy; targeting immigration, the ABC, multiculturalism, renewable energy, transgender rights and journalists. It was a performance that will play to her base and one that helps

2026/06/16

Over the weekend, Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire. It came after his company, SpaceX, was publicly listed, reaching a valuation of more than two trillion dollars. Elon’s wealth is now the equivalent of the bottom one-third of the entire globe’s population. It’s more than the entire annual GDP of Belgium, Sweden or Ireland. But while some are celebrating Musk’s milestone, for others it’s jarring to see in the hands of someone who uses their power

Donald Trump said what he wanted for his 80th birthday was world peace And now, alongside the UFC spectacle on the White House lawn, he appears to have given himself the headline he wanted: a so-called peace deal with Iran. Or more accurately - a sixty day “pause” – while negotiations continue.

2026/06/14

Aukus is the most expensive defence project in Australia’s history; a project, that at its heart has the plan to acquire nuclear-powered submarines through the United States and the United Kingdom. But the doubts around it are growing: over the cost, over whether Australia will get the submarines it’s been promised, and over what the deal means for our sovereignty. Now, a public inquiry, in lieu of parliamentary debate, led by former Labor minister Peter Garrett is putting Aukus under

When Professor Christian Downie appeared before a Senate inquiry into climate and energy misinformation, he warned that Australia is facing coordinated campaigns designed not to debate climate solutions, but to stall them. Professor Downie has spent years inside boardrooms and the lobbying world studying how these campaigns are built – tracing the billions spent on messaging by lobby groups, PR firms and think tanks – and outlining what he calls “the climate obstruction

Pauline Hanson has spent decades casting herself as the outsider, the voice of people who feel ignored by the political class. Now, One Nation is surging in the polls and in donations. On Friday their fundraising site crashed under the weight of more than three million dollars in new money, forcing Labor to treat Hanson less like a fringe dweller and more like a direct threat. But as Hanson’s popularity grows, so does the scrutiny of what sits behind it. This week, she admitted she’s

The scenes in Belfast this week have been horrifying to watch - ugly clashes, masked men rioting in the streets, immigrant families begging neighbours to hide their children - fearing for their safety. Politicians, far-right agitators, and billionaire Elon Musk have been accused of sparking the riots - weaponising a brutal stabbing attack, to ramp up anti-migrant rhetoric and whip protestors into a frenzy. Today, British journalist and host ofThe News Agents, Emily Maitlis on the far-right forces at

2026/06/11

Donald Trump is right now following through on his threats to “hit Iran hard again” unleashing another round of strikes. Trump says he wants a peace deal, but in the past 24 hours, the war has escalated again. Iran and the US have traded strikes, and one of the most important oil routes in the world remains severely restricted. The ceasefire is still supposed to exist, as is the promise of an imminent peace deal. But the closer Trump says he is to ending the war, the harder it is to tell

When Julia Gillard delivered her now-famous misogyny speech in 2012, it was against a backdrop of some horrendous sexist attacks. One of the most prominent was “Ditch the Witch” – a slogan on a placard then-opposition leader Tony Abbott was photographed standing in front of at an anti-carbon tax rally. Now, the ugly slogan is back. This time, Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan is the target. “Ditch the Witch 2.0” has put a spotlight on the treatment of women in politics

Last month, the federal government announced that the biggest neo-Nazi organisation in the country would be listed as a hate group. A few days ago, The Age revealed the group’s former leader, Thomas Sewell, has been living in a $2.5 million estate in Melbourne’s suburbs.

2026/06/07

Right now, AI data-centre mega-hubs as large as 350 hectares are being planned across Australia – that’s the equivalent of 175 MCG playing fields. And the energy they need to fuel them is just as huge: more than the total output of an entire coal plant. The solution? So-called “shadow grids” built in partnership between the data centres and big gas, where gas-fired power plants are placed directly on site, powering the centres and generating huge emissions in the process

Earlier this year, authorities found something extraordinary inside a Cambodian scam compound: a fake Australian Federal Police office. There were Australian flags, AFP-style logos, and desks staged to look official – all part of a six-storey compound used by scammers impersonating police forces from around the world. It was a reminder that the scam messages Australians receive are often connected to a far more sophisticated and exploitative criminal industry. New figures show Australians

Can Tony Abbott save the Liberal party?

2026/06/05

Tony Abbott is back at the centre of Liberal Party politics. The former prime minister has been elected unopposed as federal Liberal Party president – a role that sounds administrative, but carries real political weight at a moment of deep trouble for the Coalition. The Liberals are watching voters drift to One Nation, while Abbott argues the answer is to take the fight directly to Labor. But his return sharpens a deeper question inside the party about whether the Liberals can rebuild by
