Dastyari had to go, but China the bigger issue

Not even the truth is sacred to language police

A PUSH to remove the word “mother” from maternity wards as the person in labour may identify as a man takes our PC obsession to a new level, writes James Morrow.

Turnbull had chance to fix farce. He squibbed it

THE PM has decided not to rip the citizenship Band-Aid off in one sharp yank. Instead, he has decided to pull it off slowly and painfully, writes James Morrow.

Greens MP Jamie Parker has opened up a discussion about whether locals want to lobby to change state laws which prevent dogs from coming into pubs or venues with food. Picture: John Appleyard

Who let the dogs in? Us, hopefully

CIVIL society does a much better job setting standards of behaviour than bureaucrats, writes James Morrow. Let’s start by allowing dogs in pubs.

Guess what? The terrorists are winning

WINNING the war on terror? We’re not even trying, writes James Morrow. Bollards and bag searches amounts to fiddling while Rome burns.

FILE - This July 28, 2017, file photo distributed by the North Korean government shows what was said to be the launch of a Hwasong-14 intercontinental ballistic missile at an undisclosed location in North Korea. Americaâ€™s annual joint military exercises with South Korea always frustrate North Korea. Some experts say North Korea is mainly focused on the bigger picture of testing its bargaining power against the United States with its new long-range missiles and likely has no interest in letting things get too tense during the drills.

Australia, is it time to stock the bomb shelters?

THEORETICAL fears about North Korea dropping a nuke on Australia are for the moment just speculative, writes James Morrow. So when should we start to panic?

Trump’s foes are their own worst enemies

TRUMP’S opponents would be better off preparing a decent candidate to oppose him in 2020 than getting tied up in battles in the media, writes James Morrow.
