| | | | Australia's political class is holding its breath today over the result of the crucial by-election, that could not only determine the future of the Government but also the fate of its leader, Malcolm Turnbull. | | | | Bennelong has a high proportion of voters with a Chinese background, but will that really impact the outcome? And how does it relate to rising Government concern about foreign interference in Australia? | | | | Melbourne's Catholic Archbishop Denis Hart says he does not fully support some of the 189 new recommendations delivered by the child sex abuse royal commission, saying he would feel "terribly conflicted" breaking the confessional seal. | | | | The 'few bad apples' scenario is untenable now. The royal commission has shown that what is wrong pervades the whole orchard, writes Tom Keneally. But will the Church acknowledge it? | | | | Queen Elizabeth's grandson, fifth-in-line to the throne, and Ms Markle, who stars in the US TV legal drama Suits, will marry on May 19 at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle. | | | | There's a trend to note the technical similarities between Steve Smith and Don Bradman: the claw grip, dominated by bottom glove; the blade from gully in a circular sweep. It was all on display in Smith's glorious knock at the WACA yesterday, writes Geoff Lemon. | | | | Forget Love Actually. The true joy of Christmas comes from television. Here are 10 of the best episodes of festive cheer, according to Ben Pobjie. | | | | An magnitude-6.5 earthquake strikes the Indonesian island of Java with authorities reporting at least one death and damage to buildings. | | | | Subletting my home on Airbnb is one of my plans to bring me closer to buying my own home. So why won't governments support this, asks Koraly Dimitriadis. | | | | A love of horses keeps racing alive on an island in the middle of Bass Strait, with volunteers from the community's population of 1,500 pitching in to ensure the coveted King Island Cup runs each year. | | | | Does anyone really think gold reindeer on the Christmas table is a good idea? If the holiday season is wearing you out, why not opt for beer and pizza instead. | | | | China's Navy Chief reportedly tells his Australian counterpart that Australia has gone against "peace and stability" in the South China Sea, as satellite images show evidence of more island-building in the disputed area. | | | | Australia's $50 billion Future Submarines program is hit by allegations of fraud, with a Commonwealth official being investigated for misappropriating funds. | | | | In coastal towns across regional Australia, a growing demand for locally made surfboards is helping manufacturers bounce back after being hit by a wave of imported products. | | | | Utah attorneys prosecuting a multi-million-dollar opioid drug ring are moving quickly to sell seized bitcoin that's exploded in value to about $11 million since the alleged ringleader's arrest a year ago. | | | | In the largest reparation of its kind, the International Criminal Court orders convicted Congolese warlord Thomas Lubanga to pay $13 million in compensation to the children who had been conscripted as child soldiers. | | | | Winnie the wombat is celebrating 31 years, making her the oldest wombat in Australia and maybe even the world. | |  |
