Opinion | Unlike in other markets where dozens of rivals slug it out, Qantas enjoys a tight duopoly where shareholder returns are driven by structure and macro tailwinds rather than executive skill.

While Qantas executives receive bloated paychecks tied to a soaring stock price, they see little to no penalties for mismanagement.

The spat between Alex Hawke and Jacinta Nampijinpa Price might be funny, but something malignant is happening on race within sections of the Liberals, writes Bernard Keane.

While it's plenty of fun to watch the Liberal Party implode, the racism displayed by some of the party's supporters is no laughing matter.

Opinion | Meanjin survived 85 years as a literary journal before being cut down for "purely financial reasons". Australian universities have abandoned their status as safeguards of culture.

Melbourne University reported a $273 million surplus in 2024 on an operating income of $3.2 billion. It is against these figures that the 'purely financial decision' to close Meanjin has raised eyebrows.

Opinion | The sexual abuse of children is a global public health crisis. If we hope to address it, we must first understand it, writes Grace Tame.

Anthony Albanese will give a keynote address a BCA dinner tonight, and is expected to say that his government will look at “fair and affordable ways to incentivise greater business investment”.

All of that and more in the week ahead in Australian politics.

Liberal moderates might need to offer more resistance to the MAGAfication of their party than they've provided in response to Jacinta Nampijinpa Price, writes Bernard Keane.

While it's plenty of fun to watch the Liberal Party implode, the racism displayed by some of the party's supporters is no laughing matter.

Opinion | Melbourne University Press says it shut down Meanjin for "purely financial reasons". Perhaps the university could have used some of its $273 million surplus to safeguard the seminal journal.

Melbourne University reported a $273 million surplus in 2024 on an operating income of $3.2 billion. It is against these figures that the 'purely financial decision' to close Meanjin has raised eyebrows.

Donald Trump is killing US manufacturing jobs, after Joe Biden restored them to levels unseen since the financial crisis. All hail the mad king!

Despite a stagnating jobs market and the raging cost of living, Donald Trump and his apologists still insist he'll still turn the US economy around.

Opinion | The general public does not understand the strategies that adult perpetrators of child sexual abuse use. These offenders benefit from our ignorance and confusion, Grace Tame writes.

Child sexual abuse by adults does not happen because of a lack of respect or consent. It happens because adults weaponise their power over children.
