Election fallout brings on leadership battles

3 days ago | thesaturdaypaper.com.au | Denham Sadler

Three major parties are set to hold leadership contests this week as the fallout from Labor’s smashing election win continues.
‘Sleepwalk into irrelevance’: The Liberal loss explained

5 days ago | thesaturdaypaper.com.au | Karen Barlow

It was different even under Scott Morrison. At the last election, the then Liberal leader was regarded by many as a drag on the vote – but it was nothing like the “absolute fury” voters felt towards Peter Dutton. “It was far more vicious,” says one Liberal moderate.
Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ The Comeuppance is reluctant in its message

5 days ago | thesaturdaypaper.com.au | Robert Reid

This review contains spoilers. Red Stitch’s latest production is Branden Jacobs-Jenkins’ The Comeuppance, directed by Gary Abrahams – an American slice-of-life drama suffused with a queasy sense of the unheimlich zeitgeist. Sometimes a play is an excuse to say a thing, or a collection of mostly related things. It brings together a set of characters that represent specific viewpoints, politics or histories and – like Godzilla versus King Kong – lets them fight.
And the Bandt played out: Inside the Greens result

5 days ago | thesaturdaypaper.com.au | Mike Seccombe

Greens leader Adam Bandt has lost his seat. At 2.15 on Thursday afternoon he held a media conference to announce he had just called Sarah Witty, his Labor opponent for the seat of Melbourne, to concede defeat. Almost 24 hours earlier, ABC election analyst Antony Green had called the result, but Bandt held back, in the hope that absent and declaration votes, which broke solidly to him in 2022, would do so again.

Pakistan: Pakistan vowed to avenge an “act of war” by India on Wednesday after Indian strikes on sites in Pakistan and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir killed at least 31 people and added to fears of an all-out conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbours. India said it struck nine sites and did not hit military facilities but targeted “terrorist infrastructure” used to plan a shooting attack in April that killed 25 Hindu tourists and their guide in Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Exclusive: The consultancy driving ANU cuts

Professor Genevieve Bell had been the vice-chancellor of the Australian National University for just 17 days when a senior adviser in the executive emailed the management consulting firm Nous with an expression of interest for “strategic research analysis”. New documents show that service would turn into a $3 million gig aimed at cutting costs amid a financial crisis many within the university feel has been overstated.
How Peter Dutton misunderstood the Australian heart

5 days ago | thesaturdaypaper.com.au | Stan Grant

The late Sir Roger Scruton was always among the most admirable and dignified defenders of the tradition of conservatism. He was a British scholar of dignity, humility, intellect and grace. He embodied a timeless gentility and manners. He was a civil cup of tea in a world of political hemlock. Scruton was always worth reading and listening to, whether or not one agreed with his perspective. He is especially worth revisiting now.
What Albanese can learn from Caesar

6 days ago | thesaturdaypaper.com.au | Paul Bongiorno

Famously, Julius Caesar boasted of how he came, he saw and he conquered, but on his return to Rome, in the midst of the ceremonial triumph, a slave reminded him he was dust and to dust he would return. Anthony Albanese would do well to reflect on this ancient wisdom, even though he defied political gravity to establish himself in the pantheon of conquering Labor heroes. Governing parties tend to lose seats at their second election; Albanese’s feat is a remarkable defiance of this tradition.
Dutton and the real hate media

As editor of the British tabloid rag The Sun in the 1980s, Kelvin MacKenzie had a favourite description of how to make the lives of public figures unpleasant – his journalists were instructed to “stick a ferret up their trousers”.
