The Weekend Read: Konrad Muller on organic wine and whether it’s worth it

For generations, Australian elections have largely turned on which of the two major parties voters trusted to govern. In 2026, Victoria is revealing how much that arrangement has changed. 

Labor’s troubles aren’t delivering the Coalition the support it might have once expected, and in a state long regarded as Australia’s progressive stronghold, One Nation is competing for voters who’ve lost faith in both. 

Now, polls suggest One Nation’s surge may be levelling off – but the major parties still face the challenge of winning disillusioned voters back. 

Today, political pollster at Redbridge Group Kos Samaras, on what Victoria reveals about Australia’s changing politics, and whether One Nation’s rise is running out of steam.

Stephen Miller is the architect of Donald Trump's mass deportation campaign – a sweeping immigration crackdown that’s sparked protests across America and become a growing political liability for the president.

Now, in the wake of the Republicans' devastating midterm defeat, Trump has promoted Miller to White House chief of staff – one of the most powerful positions in the administration, giving him even greater influence over the president's agenda.

Today, journalist and author of Hatemonger: Stephen Miller, Donald Trump and the White Nationalist Agenda Jean Guerrero – on Stephen Miller's rise to power, and what his promotion signals for the final two years of Trump's presidency.
