| | | | Former Russian spy Sergei Skripal is no longer in a critical condition and his health is improving rapidly, more than a month after he was poisoned with a nerve agent in England, the hospital treating him says. | | | | Malcolm Turnbull would never, ever have entertained matching Tony Abbott's sorry record of 30 consecutive negative Newspolls. But he has, so what happens next? | | | | Australia nets six golds in the Commonwealth Games pool on day two, with Kyle Chalmers claiming two wins in a single evening and Emma McKeon leading a phenomenal one-two-three in the women's 100m butterfly. | | | | The Australian Taxation Office is facing calls for curbs on the "draconian" powers it has been accused of using to target small businesses. | | | | Two years after Li Long died of cancer, his mother finally found him a terminally ill bride for a "ghost marriage" — a marriage for two deceased people to live in the netherworld together. | | | | It's been a wild few years since Facebook went offline. We have faced a few problems, to which we have had to find increasingly creative solutions, writes Ben Pobjie. | | | | Prince Philip may hold a string of grand titles and honours including the Duke of Edinburgh and Lord High Admiral of the Royal Navy, but for one small community a in Vanuatu, he is regarded in a far more spiritual way. | | | | The "sky's the limit" for Tasmania's growing wine industry, as winemakers celebrate international successes unimaginable five years ago. | | | | Prince Harry and his bride-to-be Meghan Markle arrive in Bath to watch some of the men and women hoping to represent the UK team at the prince's Invictus Games to be held in Sydney later this year. | | | | A complex and expensive redevelopment of the Australian War Memorial will be considered by the Turnbull Government, and the monument's director insists the country owes it to the memory of dead diggers to build it. | | | | Israeli troops shoot dead seven Palestinian protesters and wound at least 200 along the Israel-Gaza border, Palestinian medical officials say, raising the death toll to 27 in the week-long disturbances. | | | | Environmental groups have called for the head of Indonesia's state owned oil company to be fired, while family members speak out over the loss of loved ones killed in the ocean blaze. | | | | Clyde Lewis can call himself a Commonwealth Games champion after a last-minute call up to the men's 400m medley, in a race that exacted one hell of a toll on his body. | | | | Police charge a 39-year-old mother accused of drugging and sexually abusing her eight-year-old daughter at so-called "swinging" group sex parties in Perth with a further 81 child sex offences against three children, including her own son. | | | | The results are in: Tesla's giant battery is responding faster and more precisely than traditional coal and gas generators to stabilise the national energy grid, according to a new report. | | | | Could you walk away from a promising and well-paying career as a geoscientist in the fossil fuel industry to join the fight against climate change? Dimitri Lafleur did. | | | | Australia, meet Anna Hursey — a shy, unassuming girl who at the age of just 11 is a full international representative for Wales in women's table tennis. | | | | After unintentionally mooning millions of television viewers during the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony, dancer Georgia Lear opens up about the cheeky moment that has made headlines around the world. | | | | A survey of hundreds of university students reveals men, on average, think they're more intelligent than two-thirds of their peers, while women are more accurate in their assessment about how smart they might be. | | | | Equine therapy takes psychology sessions out of the office and into the paddock, with horses being used as mental health aids. | | | | Quirky beach creations made by a man affectionately referred to as Rainbow Rick are bringing a community together and, in some cases, restoring people's faith in humanity. | | | | Forget meat pies and prawns on the barbie.
