- Description
- The madness of Donald Trump surfaced again in the past day or so, according to many seasoned onlookers.
First, the president of the United States announced that he would impose a shipping toll on the Strait of Hormuz, something that would jack up petrol prices and spike inflation. Then he backed down, before he then threatened to take out Iranian bridges and power plants – a move that could be considered a war crime.
Today international and political editor Peter Hartcher reports from Washington DC, on what might be the American president’s most consequential flip-flop to date.

- Carlton played dumb in the wet last week, but have their best chance in sometime of beating their old enemy Collingwood in round 19.
The question Andrew Wu and Peter Ryan pose to tipsters is whether this is the game to take a risk on as they seek to salvage their season.
If not, can North Melbourne upset Melbourne at Marvel, can St Kilda break their drought in Geelong, will the Crows topple Sydney and what are the chances of Gold Coast rectifying their fall against the Western Bulldogs?

- After the Wests Tigers announced Jarome Luai would be released from the final year of his contract by mutual agreement, coach Benji Marshall has broken his silence to deny rumours their personal relationship has broken down.
Luai will join the Parramatta Eels next season before linking with the PNG Chiefs for their debut season in 2028. What does this mean for the Wests Tigers? Could the Luai-Moses halves pairing at the Eels be a winning combination?
Plus, are the Dragons any closer to confirming their head coach?
And could we see Roosters flyer Mark Nawaqanitawase play in the rugby league and rugby world cups in consecutive years?
This week, sports reporter Billie Eder is joined by national head of sport Neil Breen and chief rugby league reporter Adrian Proszenko to discuss the latest NRL news.

- For nearly a century, the FIFA World Cup has carried fans throughout the world to great heights of unity and joy. This year's tournament, which is coming to a close, revealed some of the best of America. Scottish fans were welcomed by the city of Boston, and supposedly drank the city dry, while Japanese fans in Dallas marvelled in the delights of Texas barbecue.
Then there was the game itself and its stars, such as Erling Haaland, Kylian Mbappé, Lionel Messi and Jude Bellingham.
But a maelstrom of complications threatened the sense of inclusion this year, particularly due to host country United States being at war with Iran.
Deputy editor Nick Ralston today discusses the joy and tension he witnessed at matches in the United States and Canada - as well as that viral Aussie chant about Donald Trump.

- Melbourne property developers, entrepreneurs and small business owners are promising huge sums to Pauline Hanson’s party before November's state election.
They say it’s in return for advocacy on key policy areas. It is advocacy these donors think will be stronger coming from One Nation, rather than the party they once supported – the Coalition.
But the identities of these donors are, so far, shrouded in secrecy.
Senior reporter Sarah Danckert says one reason is because they’re feeling some shame about their promise to One Nation.
In today’s episode, Danckert explains why Hanson is attracting more donations from business circles (https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/a-real-leaching-of-donors-one-nation-steals-a-march-on-liberal-party-s-blue-blood-base-20260702-p60c15.html) beyond her most wealthiest backer, mining magnate Gina Rinehart.

And in an environment where One Nation and the Coalition want to go hard on migration, Albanese’s friendship with Modi looks like it stands in stark contrast.
But that’s not what piqued everyone’s interest in Canberra this week. We’re still talking about Albanese’s perplexing podcast interview in which he said he’d "shag" popstar Kylie Minogue and joked about melons and the Japanese PM.
And, we cover the new data that shows how bad Australia’s inflation is compared to other nations.

- Peter Singer, often called the world's most influential philosopher, is turning 80, and he's returned home to Melbourne too, after almost 25 years as a professor of bioethics at Princeton University.
Singer's practical ethics has had a huge impact and caused controversy across issues as diverse as the rights of animals, voluntary euthanasia and abortion, freedom of speech, and our moral obligation to help those living in extreme poverty.
Given all that's happened in Singer's world and in the wider world, it seemed like a good time to ask him to reflect on his life and work, and about the issues of today, from Trump to anti-Semitism and the limits of free speech.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, or ASIO, has now warned that hatred of Jews is one factor virtually all violent extremist cohorts have in common. How did we reach a point where so many Jews now say they feel unsafe in Australia?

- The bye rounds are over and there’s some intriguing games for Andrew Wu and Peter Ryan to review in round 17. It all kicks off with Geelong hosting Brisbane in a grand final rematch.
