| | | | 21/07/2025 Coalition’s net zero standoff; pope condemns Gaza ‘barbarity’; fears of a superbug surge |
| | | | Good morning. Today we survey the latest skirmishes in the Coalition’s climate wars, where the net zero issue threatens to permanently fracture the decades-old alliance between the Liberals and the Nationals. Pope Leo XIV has condemned the “barbarity” of the war in Gaza after scores of Palestinians were reportedly killed while queueing for food. And: a new study has revealed how superbugs could kill millions of people across the globe as the US and UK make cuts to projects that combat antibiotic resistance. |

Not the news | |
| Sometimes, it feels as if you can’t turn on a TV without seeing news bulletins devoted to interest rate updates, fake-tanned celebrity realtors hawking white McMansions or middle-aged men stroking their chins at a tasteful mid-century reno. In his new one-hour special for Foxtel and Binge, satirist Mark Humphries talks with realtors and squatters – and puts Alan Kohler in a bathtub – to explore Australia’s toxic real estate obsession. |
