We've watched policial violence grow overseas. Now it's arrived on our shores
By Patricia Karvelas
Helen Haines has fought for integrity in politics. She deserved to be treated with respect and integrity too. Instead, she is apparently Australia's first victim of a targeted attack on a politician on this scale.

One Nation threatens major parties as voters turn to AI for information
By Patricia Karvelas
Labor and the Liberals are trying to appeal to disgruntled voters as the Victorian election looms. But voters seeking information from AI chatbots could find One Nation missing from the answer.

The Liberals and Greens appear to be heading in the same direction
By Patricia Karvelas
Albanese promised to be "the adult in the room" and govern from the centre. But is that still the political mood as we enter the last part of 2026?

Shoebridge to woo same angry voters as One Nation — but from the left
By Patricia Karvelas
David Shoebridge wants to hold Labor's feet to the fire. He will be a thorn in Labor's side rather than a deal maker.

Labor's dilemma is that Australia needs two things voters fear
By Patricia Karvelas
The Intergenerational Report released today suggests population growth is slowing. But migrants are crucial for the economy and along with data centres have become the most dangerous political issues confronting the government.

Hanson says she can smash Labor and message could be resonating
By Patricia Karvelas
Pauline Hanson says she can smash Labor and, given the anger in the community, perhaps that messaging is resonating.

The AI sleeper issue that could sway Australian elections
By Patricia Karvelas
AI's impact on politics is poised to go from academic to reality due to undecided voters, seats with tiny margins and growing evidence that it can persuade people.

'Brokeback' Barnaby knows One Nation needs the pink vote
By Patricia Karvelas
If One Nation genuinely wants to replace the Liberals and Nationals as the dominant force on the right, it needs a broader voter base. That is where the gay vote comes in.

Albanese is the opposite of Rudd and that comes with its own risks
By Patricia Karvelas

Labor's command and control culture may come with a cost
By Patricia Karvelas
Anthony Albanese's tightly managed Labor conference showcased discipline over dissent. But could shutting down public debate carry risks beyond the party room?

The response to Katter's outburst will test parliament this week
By Patricia Karvelas
If the parliament does not take action — even symbolically — against Bob Katter's threats to punch a journalist, the perception of double standards will be hard to avoid.

Saw #RichardMarles #Australia's Defence Minister, on ABC TV with #PatriciaKarvelas.
He invoked the #InternationalRulesBasedOrder on the defence of #Ukraine and the Asia-Pacific region.
This #Labor politician pretended #Israel's ongoing #WarCrimes, #CrimesAgainstHumanity and #Genocide in #Gaza has nothing to do with that rules based order.
By doing so he weakens the international rules-based order - it is NOT for #SelectiveApplication.
He and the #Albanese government are #GenocideComplicit.
@abcfeeds I think #PatriciaKarvelas is forgetting history, not long ago history, yesterdays even. #howard spent most of his term as #primeminister attacking multiculturalism. Every #lnp prime minister since him has made a point of attacking different ethnic groups. Muslims have been constantly publicly humiliated since 911. Every person over 60, who reads News Limited The Australian, will tell you #woke has gone mad and #diversity should be rejected. We have had over 20 years of governments watering down peoples rights to live in harmony. Even now with what is going on in the middle east the #coalition constantly says we shouldn’t be taking refugees and they must be all terrorists. We have a #USA who is rounding up people from all types of backgrounds, locking them up and deporting them. Multiculturalism is meant to be a dirty word.
This constant mental attack is now being twisted and turned to protect a single ethnic group being attacked by random individuals working alone or in small groups. The disquiet across Australia is suffocating. Normally governments would introduce education programs to positively change community mentality but we have such poisonous major parties the stick is the only option in their world. Watch to see knee jerk laws being introduced to take away more of our rights and achieving nothing.

AXED | Q+A Cancelled by ABC After Nearly Two Decades of Debate
Q+A opens 2025 with Prime Minister ANTHONY ALBANESE in the hot seat
Young men are gravitating to Dutton. Will this win him the election?
By Patricia Karvelas
Peter Dutton is clearly connecting with disenfranchised young men better than progressives and Anthony Albanese are. The risk is how that translates across the electorate.
Dutton is already testing Trump's campaign slogans. Will they work in Australia?
By Patricia Karvelas
The success of Donald Trump's election campaign in the US has Australia's leaders watching closely but there are risks to importing debates from other countries.

A second Trump presidency would be a wild ride for Australia and the stakes could not be higher
By Patricia Karvelas
Donald Trump's predictable but uncomfortable rant against the judicial system and the rule of law is a challenge for Australia as Anthony Albanese makes a wild ride between upholding the bedrock of liberal democracy and keeping a potential future US president on side.

Social cohesion is at record lows and tensions are boiling over. How will we navigate our way out of it?
By Patricia Karvelas
Anthony Albanese has been trying to play the role of unifier when it comes to the conflict in the Middle East and the schisms it's causing in Australia. But as community tensions rise, so do frustrations about where this all ends, writes Patricia Karvelas.
