One of the trio of men awaiting deportation to Nauru has challenged his removal, represented by the Human Rights Law Centre.

Whyalla has been no stranger to emotional rollercoasters in recent years, and while some locals are wary of false dawns and keen to avoid past mistakes, the mood among the steelmaking city's business operators has been buoyed by news of the joint state and federal $2.4 billion support package.

Northern Territory prison officers have returned a resounding no-confidence vote in the NT's corrections commissioner, amid pushback over a plan to hire private and interstate guards to help staff prisons.

After being knocked back for private rentals and having no luck with social housing, Cathy McGrath put up a sign at a busy roundabout in a last-ditch call for help.

Maree Baumann spends her nights huddling in the back of her car with her tiny dog, but according to a City of Moreton Bay local law change she is not a homeless camper.

Two major private maternity units in Darwin and Hobart are set to close leaving hundreds of women in limbo. It's the latest in a long-running problem with birthing units closing around the country. Here's why it's happening.

Imagine being too far-right and Nazi-like for the French far-right: "French far-right leader cancels US speech after ex Trump aide Bannon appeared to make 'Nazi gesture'"

The ABS has announced that it will continue to use the same question on religious affiliation – “What is the person’s religion?” –  assuming the respondent has a religion. censusnoreligion.org.au/abs-buckles-...

For Australians of course there is also a political party that is ‘anti woke’ and has made it clear it wished to wind back some diversity and equity support initiatives in our Defence Force - again. They have form. They did so last time. Trump emboldens them …

This is worth sharing. @australianlabor.bsky.social needs to watch it too, then #CancelAUKUS.

Can't we just admit the truth? Albanese has been a disappointing prime minister. But he's been a lot better than Morrison. And he's a lot better than what Dutton would be. That doesn't detract from the fact that he has been a disappointing Labor PM. We deserve better. We need better.

The Australien Government has made an ad to announce the 2025 election, and it's surprisingly honest and informative. #auspol

Close all these bases and invite fellow European and Commonwealth countries to occupy them.

i haven't seen such 🐂💩 from south australia since georgina downer was handing out giant novelty cheques at the yankalilla bowling club.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Billionaires don’t degrade society on their own. We should ban billionaires, lobbyists, venture capitalists, consolidated media ownership and while we are at it, tax the shit out of the church.

This is really something

The Albanese government on Sunday will pledge $8.5 billion for Medicare, declaring this would enable all Australians to have access to bulk billing by 2030.
