| | | | As the dust settles on an incredible week that saw Scott Morrison take over from Malcolm Turnbull to become Australia's 30th Prime Minister, the Liberal Party is faced with the challenge of explaining the chaotic events to voters. | | | | For a few days Australians seriously reckoned with the idea of Peter Dutton as prime minister. Opinion polls show he may not be popular with the public, but that does not mean the issues he champions are not resonating, writes Stan Grant. | | | | The new prime minister will be under pressure to win the centre, "the base" and the right. But he will be trying to appeal these very disparate audiences from the position of a politician who polls tell us is less well regarded than the man he will replace, writes Laura Tingle. | | | | John McCain, the maverick Republican senator who survived a Vietnam War prison camp and ran unsuccessfully for president, is discontinuing medical treatment for an aggressive form of brain cancer, his family says. | | | | Firefighters struggle to tame a wildfire south-west of Berlin, manoeuvring carefully as the blaze sets off old World War II ammunition that is still buried in the forests around the German capital. | | | | Pride, indifference, scepticism and hope — these are the four words defining the people of Cronulla's thoughts on their local MP, and Australia's new Prime Minister, as he starts his first day as leader of the nation. | | | | From satisfying symmetry to candy-hued interiors and a dolphinarium in the shape of a white whale, the 'Hermit Kingdom' looks more like a Wes Anderson film set than you might imagine. | | | | Huawei hits out at Australia's "politically motivated" decision to ban it from the 5G mobile network — but what will happen next for the Chinese tech giant's operations on Australian shores? | | | | It's been 11 years since an elected prime minister served a full term. But is that a new thing? | | | | Rashida was not allowed to go to school and had never seen a foreigner. Fleeing the extreme restrictions of Rakhine, she got a huge shock when a health worker suspected she was pregnant and took her to a clinic. | | | | Lawyers for the banking royal commission recommend the Commonwealth Bank and the National Australia Bank face criminal charges over their treatment of superannuation customers. | | | | West Coast Fever will enjoy home court advantage in Sunday's Super Netball grand final in Perth but standing in their way is the defending champions, Sunshine Coast Lightning. | | | | It has been four decades since a Pope last visited Ireland, and what was once the world's most Catholic country has undergone a huge transformation in that time. | | | | A couple of generations ago, spaghetti was an exotic dish. How long will it be before biryani and dolma become staple dishes? | | | | In an exclusive interview with the ABC, the defeated prime ministerial challenger has no regrets about his moves this week. | | | | Councillor Christine Forster is among those "considering" running as a candidate in Malcolm Turnbull's seat of Wentworth if the former prime minister leaves Parliament. | | | | Malcolm Turnbull said he needed to see the names of all the MPs who wanted a new Liberal leader before calling for a spill. He received that list and here it is. | | | | Streetscapes could be bare if trees can not survive harsher seasons and urban renewal as weather becomes more unpredictable. | | | | Spain's government passes a decree to smooth the way for the relocation of the remains of former dictator Francisco Franco, with the aim of turning his mausoleum into a memorial for the victims of the Spanish civil war. | | | | We gave our audience on Facebook Messenger a chance to send new Prime Minister Scott Morrison a message. Here's what you said. | |  |
