Execution TV? Pete Hegseth has taken the once ‘greatest democracy’ to a horrific new low | Paul Daley

A proposal to livestream the killing of Nidal Hasan by firing squad opens a window ever wider to the Trump administration’s complete moral vacuity More fool me!

The fight over using super for housing has deep roots in Australian politics. But would it actually work? | Emily Millane

Ultimately, the debate is a battle for power over Australians’ savings pool of $4.8tn dating back to the scheme’s inception * Past/Present is a column which places current events in historical context Should you be able to take money out of your super to pay for housing? One Nation has recently suggested you should. Liberal senator Andrew Bragg has also revived the idea. The treasurer, Jim Chalmers, tells us the Coalition and One Nation are “coming after super” and want to “vandalise” the retirement savings scheme. He also predicts the next federal election will be a referendum on super. In the midst of a national cost of living crisis and housing shortage, it would seem reasonable to ask about the balance between how much money we are saving for retirement and how much money we have to use now. It would also seem uncontroversial to discuss whether altering that balance will assist with cost-of-living pressures or add to them. Continue reading...

It was a brand designed to bring together Melbourne’s sporting tribes. The reality was something different. The other club can trace its roots back to the 1950s, and a proud history including four titles in the now defunct National Soccer League, intertwined with the pride and community of European post-war migration. The club has delivered many of Australia’s football’s most meaningful days. Or, as it seemed to some in recent decades, fading memories. Continue reading...
