| | | | Ending a will-he-won't-he saga, Meghan Markle says her father won't be attending the Royal wedding and she hopes he "can be given the space he needs to focus on his health". | | | | Women in the Liberal Party have to operate within the brutish law of the political jungle that has served men so well for decades. But if the party wants to remain electorally healthy, something will have to change. | | | | The culture of cash payments in the hospitality business means long-term workers are often left with little or no superannuation — and the scale of the problem is hard to gauge, particularly because so many employers pay some, or all, wages in cash. | | | | Hawaii's Kilauea volcano has spewed ash more than 9 kilometres into the air, prompting scientists to warn this could be the first of a string of explosive eruptions in the crater. | | | | We have taken a wrong turn in the way that we think about nutrition. We are too obsessed with identifying an individual culprit — a specific nutrient that causes a particular health problem, like obesity — and not looking at the bigger picture, write David Raubenheimer and Stephen Simpson. | | | | Royal wedding 2.0 is nearly here, so let's travel back to the grand shebang that launched a thousand memes. | | | | North Korea's chief negotiator calls the South Korean Government "ignorant and incompetent", denounces US-South Korean air combat drills and threatens to halt all talks with the South unless its demands are met. | | | | Chinese authorities in the heavily Muslim region of Xinjiang imprison tens, possibly hundreds of thousands of Muslim Chinese — and even foreign citizens — in mass internment camps. | | | | A winemaker is leading the push to register Tasmania's method of sparkling wine production in the same way Champagne is protected, shutting out "cheap imitations" and "freeloaders". | | | | Conspiracy theories have sprung up all over the place after Tim Cahill — with barely any game time — being selected ahead of the in-form Jamie Maclaren for the Socceroos' World Cup campaign, writes Richard Hinds. | | | | Gina Haspel's approval ends a bruising confirmation fight centred on her ties to the spy agency's past use of waterboarding and other brutal interrogation techniques. | | | | A Canadian-born man with an intellectual disability protests he is an "Aussie" — born to an Australian mother and living here since he was three years old — as his appeal against deportation is dismissed. | | | | One of WA's last remaining veterans of a major battle in the Vietnam War vows to never forget the mates he lost in one of the bloodiest and most protracted engagements of the country's decade-long involvement. | | | | This weekend's wedding is something of a PR coup for the British Royal family. It introduces a welcome African American note into a previously whiter-than-white bloodline, but it could not come at a more turbulent time for British race relations, writes Annabel Crabb. | | | | For rural woman Bree Wakefield, an elective double mastectomy was her "only guarantee" of being there for her husband and children, after testing positive to the 'breast cancer gene'. | | | | Grandparents caring for their grandchildren in NSW are facing dire financial situations, with some forced to sell their homes or dip into superannuation to make ends meet, because they are not eligible for state support in the same way foster carers are. | | | | For six years, Sophie Pfaerhoever has provided care for her sister's tetraplegic husband, but she may soon need to leave the country because she is not considered a close enough relative. | | | | Academics and entrepreneurs are calling for increased investment in research and development funding and support as Australia lags behind other countries. | | | | Scraps of DNA thousands of years old give archaeologists the "smoking gun" they need to show the first farmers in South-East Asia were migrants from south China. | | | | Commercial barramundi fishermen say their industry has all but collapsed in Australia, after the price for wild-caught fish plummeted this season. | | | | Productivity around the world took a massive dive when a mysterious four-second soundbite started circulating. Here's how the "Yanny" vs "Laurel" saga began. | | | | The lack of incentives offered by Australia to lure big spending streaming service companies like Netflix could leave the country behind in the revolution, industry members warn. | |  |
