| | | | Losing Liberal candidate Dave Sharma, who believes the ousting of Malcolm Turnbull was the primary reason the seat fell to independent candidate Kerryn Phelps, says "it would be an error to draw national lessons solely from the prism of Wentworth". | | | | A historic swing against the Government in a seat held by conservatives for 117 continuous years has left the Liberal Party and the Coalition facing the prospect of humiliation at the next general election, writes political editor Andrew Probyn. | | | | Federal Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, who was cleared a decade ago of leaking a top-secret report on Iraq to News Corp columnist Andrew Bolt, loses a two-year legal fight to hide a transcript of his interview with police investigating the infamous intelligence breaches. | | | | A gun industry lobby group backed by five of the largest Australian firearms wholesalers has declared its intention to intervene in state and federal elections to hold governments "accountable for the decisions they make". | | | | Saudi Arabian officials do not know details of how dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi was killed in their consulate in Istanbul or where his body is, Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir tells Fox News. | | | | When he steps into the Federal Court today, acclaimed actor Geoffrey Rush will be the first celebrity in the #MeToo era to take on a media giant in a defamation trial, after The Daily Telegraph accused him of acting inappropriately towards a female cast member in a production of King Lear. | | | | The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrive in Queensland today and will both spend the night on Fraser Island. While Meghan won't take part in official engagements, Prince Harry will be on hand as forests on the world's largest sand island are dedicated to the Queen's Commonwealth Canopy program. | | | | A New South Wales woman has been unable to stop her brother getting money from their parents' estate after he shot them dead. | | | | Australia's unemployment rate last week reached the magic number of 5 per cent. But worryingly, vast numbers of Australians are instead underemployed, particularly youth, and the worsening trend must be addressed before it hits corporate earnings and growth, writes Ian Verrender. | | | | Labor's suburban rail loop, which promises to connect Melbourne's bustling suburbs to one another, has been an instant hit with the public. But would it be so popular if the project's enormous cost meant no other rail ideas could go ahead? | | | | We're still struggling to survive. Many of us live in desperate poverty; housing insecurity and not knowing where our next meal will come from is our daily reality. | | | | Today's national apology to survivors of child sexual abuse marks a historic and highly anticipated moment for many, but others have decided not to, or can't, make the trip to Canberra. | | | | Passengers are crushed to death and carriages are left in a zig-zag formation near the tracks south of Taipei after one of Taiwan's newer, faster trains derails on a curve along a popular weekend route. | | | | Saudi Arabia's self-serving admission over the death of Jamal Khashoggi is calculated to get the United States off its back and end the damaging coverage about Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. But this new falsehood is another misstep by the Crown Prince, Adam Harvey writes. | | | | A man dies after his mobility scooter catches fire while travelling on a suburban footpath in WA's Midwest, with police describing the incident as "extremely distressing" for all involved. | | | | Organisers of New Delhi's half-marathon race have used ultra high frequency radio waves to dispel pollution from a particulate that lodges deep in the lungs and damages the respiratory system. | | | | The Australian Antarctic Division films a highly unusual purple sea cucumber that can swim and has only been spotted in the ocean once before. | | | | Thousands of homes are left without power as severe storms lash south-east Queensland, causing flash flooding and bringing down power lines and trees. | | | | We're late learners when it comes to drug laws. But whether it's next year or a decade from now, legalising cannabis is no longer a question of if, but when, writes Matt Noffs. | | | | Police remove the remains of 63 foetuses from a Detroit funeral home and regulators shutter the business amid a widening investigation of alleged improprieties at local funeral homes. | | | | As you look across the desert in Lancaster, southern California, a solar farm stretches as far as the eye can see. This is how the city is powered, and now Australian councils want to do something similar. | |  |
