The Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities in Oxford is well and truly open; there was an Open Day this weekend. It’s the product of a big donation of £185 million from Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of the Blackstone Group. It’s an ambitious development close to the old Observatory on the Radcliffe site. There’s a large and airy central atrium with cafes. As ...
“I can’t imagine that there’s any profession that is more dangerous,” Donald Trump told reporters just hours after the shooting incident at the annual White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner in Washington DC. This is true enough. Violence against US presidents is, unfortunately, nothing new. Everyone knows this long and bloody history all too ...
On May 6 1954, Sir Roger Bannister did what was deemed impossible in athletics: he ran a mile in less than four minutes. The milestone was celebrated worldwide, not just by athletics fans. It was considered at the time to be a similar achievement to scaling Mount Everest for the
Internal and public government records reveals how the federal government has spent $60 million on contracts with the Trump-aligned company, bought a stake worth more than $160 million, but has
I wrote not all that long ago about this disconcerting situation we’re in where the only news story the Prime Minister seems capable of generating is a news story about the likelihood of his losing his job. Let’s just say, things haven’t exactly changed.
As ever, Starmer said all the standard things about how everyone saying he was useless doesn’t ...
Losing one energy source may be misfortune. Losing two is carelessness. And losing three is alarming if you’re the world’s third biggest industrial nation. But to endanger your fourth energy source, the one that’s supposed to replace the first three, seems akin to a death wish. Amazingly, this is where Germany is now heading with its bungled energy ...
Accounting and audit rulemakers are still waiting for the Digital Transformation Agency to confirm which email address was used to contact them about an AI-related regulation for the public sector. A response by the Australian Accounting Standards Board and the Auditing and Assurance Standards Board to questions asked by Senator
The following is a transcript from Gina Rinehart’s Anzac Day Sunset Tribute at the Sydney Opera House.
Today, we especially think of the Anzacs and their families. So many of the Anzacs boarded ships from right near here at Circular Quay, others boarded from around Australia, before finally farewelling our country, from Albany or Fremantle, bravely ...
The WA government will set up a new clean energy fund to invest in works aimed at delivering cleaner, more affordable, and reliable energy. Announced on Monday, the $1.4 billion initiative will be included in the 2026-27 state budget and support projects such as the Clean Energy Link (CEL). The
Australia should have settled the taxation of gas exports before the LNG boom matured, when governments had more leverage, project economics were still being set, and the public share of the upside could have been defined more clearly. But lateness is not a reason to leave the problem untouched. The
AI writing is God-awful. It appears intelligent at first glance, empty at second. It possesses the insufferable buoyancy of a holiday rep. It offers little by way of humour, nothing by way of originality. But its fatal flaw is the absence of vulnerability. A writer is a person and a person is a mess and, as readers, as people, as messes, we identify ...
There is a seductive new idea doing the rounds on the political right. And like most seductive ideas, it should be treated with suspicion.
National conservatism offers conservatives something they once resisted. It gives permission to do what the left has long done: intervene in markets, pick winners, and direct capital while claiming the moral high ...
