| | | | He's been described by colleagues as a loner, a genius, authentic, and a narcissist. Here's the story of how the former Nationals leader brought himself undone. | | | | In 1997 it was estimated Australia would reach a population of 25 million by the middle of this century. We are already there and our cities, schools and roads are not prepared for it. | | | | For years the cards seemed stacked against Australian women footballers. Men stopped them from playing, insults were hurled as they trained and they couldn't afford gear that fit. Now the Matildas are the darlings of Australian sport, 40 years in the making. | | | | The assessment of some in the NSW government is that the stadium issue is worse for its electoral hopes than either the greyhound racing ban or local council amalgamations — and both of those were reversed, writes Brigid Glanville. | | | | Mitchell Marsh, Tim Paine and Australia's tail end have a mighty job to do to salvage the second Test. They've done it before, all of one Test match ago in Durban, so you'd scarcely dare bet against them. | | | | Will the President's push to protectionism solve the problems that have arisen from the rapid push to globalisation? No, writes business editor Ian Verrender. | | | | A dog in Sao Paulo, Brazil, waits outside a hospital after chasing the ambulance his owner, a homeless man, was transported in after he was fatally stabbed in a park. | | | | Adding synthetic nutrients to food may seem like a modern marketing ploy, but its history extends back more than a century. | | | | With the Royal Commission into Financial Services about to hear from its first public witnesses, witnesses are ready to lift the lid on their consumer lending experiences. | | | | It's a modern dilemma — a customer wants to fix a broken smartphone, tablet or laptop, only to be told by the manufacturer they will have to pay top dollar at an "authorised repair centre" or fork out for a replacement. But what if it's a tractor? | | | | The vote in China's Congress to remove presidential term limits passes with two "no" votes among almost 3,000 delegates, and means President Xi Jinping can now rule for life. | | | | Neither of the major parties seem able to pick what impact Nick Xenophon will have in the upcoming state election. | | | | The US President tells a campaign rally that he could walk out of his meeting with Kim Jong-un quickly, or he could clinch a deal for peace: "Who knows what's going to happen?" | | | | Police are working with the Australian Border Force as they search for a group of "brazen" and "disrespectful" Irish tourists, who are accused of defrauding residents and stealing from business across south-east Queensland. | | | | Chinese telecom giant Huawei faces the prospect of being barred from yet another major project in Australia because of national security concerns. | | | | How do you ensure that people who live in an area the size of England but with a population of just 3,000 get to vote? It's presents a unique set of circumstances for electoral authorities. | | | | The mother of six-month-old Chayse Dearing says she hopes the man found guilty of his murder will live "the rest of his days" in torture thinking about what he did to the baby. | | | | The Titans thrill the crowd at Robina with a last-minute win over the Raiders, while Penrith kicks off 2018 with a win over Parramatta. | | | | Donald Trump's former chief strategist Steve Bannon tells France's struggling far-right National Front party: "Let them call you racist … wear it as a badge of honour". | | | | When Sasha Petrova came back from a summer holiday, something was off in her apartment. It wasn't until police knocked on her door that the awful truth was revealed. | | | | A nun involved in a lawsuit with pop star Katy Perry over the sale of a convent in Los Angeles collapses and dies during a court appearance related to the case. | | | | When Pardoo Station in Western Australia's Pilbara changed hands two years ago, few could imagine the radical change the new owner had planned.
