George Megalogenis joins Tony Barry in the studio this week to discuss why Donald Trump is unlikely to drag Australia into war, whether the prime minister could win back-to-back landslides, and how it feels when you get it wrong as a political commentator
When US President Donald Trump ordered strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, the world watched for a response. But in Australia, there was silence. It took a day before Prime Minister Anthony Albanese or Foreign Affairs Minister Penny Wong addressed the media. When they did, they backed the US, tentatively, while calling for calm. For Albanese, a leader who once opposed the Iraq war, it’s a moment that reveals how far Labor has travelled on foreign policy and how little resistance that shift is meeting inside his own party. But while Labor falls in line, the Coalition are thrashing their way to a new identity. This week, Opposition Leader Sussan Ley made her first major pitch to the public – signalling where she wants to take her divided party. Today, columnist for The Monthly and Inside Story, Karen Middleton, on war, politics and the calculations driving both major parties.

Cyclone Alfred should not have tracked as far south as it did. But in March it tore through Brisbane, the Gold Coast and the Northern Rivers, affecting about four million people. One of them was climate scientist and IPCC lead author, Joëlle Gergis. She says the storm’s freak southward drift, driven by record-warm ocean temperatures, shows the climate crisis is outrunning politics. Today, Joëlle Gergis on how far governments have fallen behind their climate promises – and the bold action Australia must take before the next disaster strikes.

A columnist's job is to process deeper currents in news, politics, and culture – all in 800 words.Who are we as a nation and a people, and what's going on for us beneath the daily headlines of the 24/7 media cycle?Few of us stop long enough to wonder – but if we ever wanted to find out, a good place to start would be Sean Kelly's writing in The Sydney Morning Herald. Sean Kelly is a former political staffer in the Rudd and Gillard governments, who now writes a weekly column on politics for The Sydney Morning Herald. He's also the author of the book The Game: A Portrait of Scott Morrison.Sean has a front row seat to what's going on for us as a nation and combines that perspective with an insider's view of how politics works. In this interview with Life & Faith he considers what it might mean to be considered a chronicler of the national soul. Explore Sean Kelly's column on how “kindness” won Anthony Albanese the 2025 Federal election.His column about what might be called “the Albanese effect”: the move towards the centre, and the adoption of a less divisive tone, in the new leadership of the Greens and Liberal Party.His book The Game: A Portrait of Scott Morrison
Francesa Albanese es la relatora especial de la ONU en los territorios palestinos ocupados. Fue la primera gran autoridad en denunciar que el Estado de Israel estaba cometiendo un genocidio en Gaza, pero como explica en una entrevista con Àngels Barceló en Hoy por Hoy, "no me escucharon". Albanese cree que si el genocidio no se para es porque "es una actividad muy lucrativa para muchos" y alaba el papel de España como líder dentro de la comunidad internacional a la hora de pedir que acabe la masacre indiscriminada.

At the G7 summit in Canada, Anthony Albanese had prepared carefully for a meeting with Donald Trump – even reaching out to Trump’s golfing buddy, Greg Norman. But just before they were due to meet, the US president walked out of the summit and flew home to address the conflict between Israel and Iran. In some quarters, the snub has been portrayed as a personal slight against Albanese. Whatever Trump’s reasons, it highlights just how strained Australia’s relationship with its most important ally has become. Today, columnist to The Saturday Paper, Paul Bongiorno, on the fallout from the failed meeting – and what it reveals about power, sovereignty and AUKUS.

This week, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese travelled to the G7 summit with high hopes of scoring a sidelines-meeting with US President Donald Trump. The PM wanted to discuss the AUKUS pact, and the tariffs that the US government has put on Australian aluminium and iron ore among other things. But events overtook, and Trump left the summit to deal with the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. Albanese did not get his meeting. He didn’t even get a phone call cancelling the meeting. So what does this mean for our relationship with our supposed closest ally? Will Albanese be able to stalk Trump at the upcoming NATO summit instead? And was it really the loss of face some critics said it was? Plus, attempts to reform the Liberal party, both at the NSW and the federal level.

Prezydent Ukrainy Wołodymyr Zełenski alarmuje o „kryzysie dyplomacji” po opuszczeniu szczytu G7 bez uzyskania nowych deklaracji wsparcia wojskowego – w dużej mierze z powodu nieobecności prezydenta USA Donalda Trumpa. Dla Australii szczyt G7 okazał się owocny. Choć planowane spotkanie premiera Anthony'ego Albanese z Donaldem Trumpem zostało odwołane, premier odbył rozmowy z wysokimi rangą przedstawicielami USA, w tym sekretarzem skarbu Scottem Bessentem, dotyczące ceł między USA a Australią. Albanese uzgodnił także rozpoczęcie negocjacji z Unią Europejską w sprawie partnerstwa w zakresie bezpieczeństwa i obrony, po spotkaniach z przewodniczącą Komisji Europejskiej Ursulą von der Leyen i przewodniczącym Rady Europejskiej Antonio Costą.

Chuyến công du ngắn ngủi của ông Trump tới Hội nghị thượng đỉnh G7 đã dẫn đến việc hủy bỏ cuộc gặp của ông với Thủ tướng Anthony Albanese, điều này đã gây ra sự chỉ trích từ phe đối lập tại Úc. Tuy nhiên, ông Albanese cũng đã lập tức có phương án thay thế, đó là hội đàm với các quan chức hàng đầu của Mỹ có mặt ở G7, và Anh Quốc cũng đã tỏ ý ủng hộ Úc về hiệp ước AUKUS.

Anthony Albanese had hoped to meet Donald Trump in person for the first time at the G7 summit in Calgary, Canada. But now that meeting will no longer take place – as the US president cut short his time at the conference, returning to Washington amid escalating conflict in the Middle East. Tom McIlroy tells Nour Haydar what this means for Australia's relationship with one of its strongest allies, the future of the controversial Aukus deal and whether Albanese will get another meeting with Trump
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese will not get the chance to meet with Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit, with the US President leaving Canada early due to the conflict between Iran and Israel. It means it could be months until the first face to face meeting between the two occurs.
United States President Donald Trump has denied that he left the G7 Summit in Canada to work on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. After a comment at the G7 from French president Emmanuel Macron welcoming Mr Trump's own remarks that he was having discussions with Iran and Israel, Mr Trump posted on social media describing Mr Macron as "publicity seeking", and claiming he is working on matters "much bigger than that". But Mr Trump's shortened visit to the G7 Summit resulted in the cancellation of his meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, which has sparked criticism from the Opposition.
