    Albanese jets off to talk climate, but interest rate pain is never far away (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Having a "Pre-COP" meeting in Fiji and Tuvalu is one of those initiatives that seemed a good idea at the time. No doubt it still has resonance as part of Australia's wider diplomacy in the Pacific, in the battle to limit China's influence. But when Anthony Albanese, still coming down from his New York high, steps onto his plane on Monday bound for Pre-COP, it could feel more chore than opportunity. Even COP itself, in Turkey a few weeks later and also on Albanese's itinerary, is not expected to

    Rogue agent hack vindicates Albanese's push for tough AI guardrails (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The revelation that an AI agent turned rogue and breached a firewall to get at Medicare statistics has strongly reinforced Anthony Albanese's case for tough guardrails on this transformative technology. The timing of the disclosure (and the incident itself) is fortuitous in a political sense, although the opposition's suggestion the announcement was delayed for political purposes doesn't hold water. The government says ministers only learned late last week of the breach. The impact for Albanese'

    Labor pounces on migration problems, but leaves massive wedge for critics (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Tony Burke was late to the National Press Club to announce the government's migration policy on Thursday. After the embarrassment of having to abort his earlier press club appearance, followed by senior ministers faffing around over the details, and unsuccessful negotiations between government and opposition, Burke produced a package that, on his own admission, did not include everything he'd wanted. It attacks some problems. But the government will be wedged between those who think the changes

    Hanson's overreach on Hastie kicks Liberals into gear (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Pauline Hanson declared in a recent News24 documentary: "I don't back down." This week, Ms Hanson and her party followed through with two high-risk demonstrations, heels firmly dug in. In the face of demands from Liberal frontbencher Andrew Hastie, Ms Hanson refused to withdraw one of her Please Explain animated cartoons that depicts (in multiple mentions) the decorated former soldier as a "traitor". On a very different front, One Nation is toughing out a controversy around Warren Pickering, its

    Economy won't improve until Australia climbs productivity mountain (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Treasurer Jim Chalmers would have sighed with relief at this week's economic growth figures. Despite some preview talk of possible stagnation, we saw modest growth of 2.1 per cent in the year to the end of June. But every economic number these days seems to bring a negative. Economists immediately strengthened their predictions of another interest rate rise. For the average Australian, just where we are economically is, at best, confusing; at worst, alarming. For years, people have been under co
