The farm newspaper Weekly Times has just released the results of its annual survey of farm ownership in Australia. As always, these results make interesting reading.

The passing of a former senior member of the Quadrant publication has provided a glimpse of how a section of the far-right managed to hide their political associations and masquerade under a mantle of respectability in order to influence public opinion. The group aimed primarily at influencing decision-makers inside the corridors of power, academia and other related bodies. A closer study of the group, however, would tend to portray them ...

In the last days before the federal election, Anthony Albanese made it clear publicly that the ALP was "mainstream" and "reformist" not "revolutionary".

On the occasion of the 2025 May Day, the Communist Party of Australia (Marxist-Leninist) greets our class, the working class of Australia, and all workers and oppressed peoples throughout the world.

On May Day we celebrate not only workers, but also worldwide revolutionary struggles for national independence from imperialism and for socialism and communism. In Australia, the CPA(M-L) recognises none of these goals can be created without the full participation of First Peoples.  

In the 21st century, the accelerating environmental crisis both in Australia and globally has sparked increased interest among the masses in advocating for environmental preservation and protection. Notable relevant groups in Australia include the Australian Conservation Foundation, Lock The Gate, and perhaps most prominently The Wilderness Society. Unfortunately, the environmental movement in Australia has been hindered by several key flaws. 

The tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on other countries' goods imported to the USA has turned the spotlight on the dependency of the US economy on imports and the weakness of its manufacturing industry.
The latest industry to receive attention from the mainstream financial papers exposing this weakness in the commercial ship building industry.

The rising tariffs imposed by the Trump regime on its main rival China is arguably adding to US imperialism's decline not only economically but militarily. The financial pages of the capitalist press in Australia are quite informative on this matter.

Those following the latest United States – Philippines military exercises might like to consider other related and highly relevant factors having serious implications for US-led diplomatic relations with the wider Indo-Pacific region. The US remains desperate to reassert their traditional hegemonic position in the region; evidence would tend to indicate their position, however, has already been eclipsed by China and countries diplomatically associated with Beijing.

A recent report by David Peetz, published by the Carmichael Centre (The Australia Institute), exposes the systemic exploitation of Australia’s working class under contemporary capitalism.

Kites are being flown in the US about tying the sale of second-hand Virginia class nuclear-powered submarines to Australia’s stand on a conflict between China and its off-shore province of Taiwan.

South Australians are in the grip of a “canary in the coal mines” moment, although it is not a canary and it is not a coal mine.
In early March, suffers at the popular South Coast beaches of Waitpinga and Parsons reported suffering headaches, coughing, skin rashes and blurred vision, whilst the beaches themselves began to be littered with masses of dead marine life. A sludgy thick brown foam began ...

As the tariff trade war intensifies between the USA and China, sections of big business in Australia are backing China to come out the winner, at least on the economic front.

The wave of Hands Off rallies on April 5 confirmed that where there is oppression, there will be fightback. Across the country several hundred thousand people came out to shout No! to attacks on our trade union rights, our Social Security, our health care, on our fellow federal workers who make these programs work, and on the science that creates vaccines.

Information about Australia providing Canada with a sophisticated long-range radar facility for Arctic defence and security provision has coincided with members of the Trump presidential administration making spectacles of themselves with outrageous territorial claims to Greenland.
