Standing Together:

This image wasn't leaked. It wasn't exposed by a whistleblower. It was posted proudly.

That's what makes it even more horrifying. If this is what an Israeli soldier feels comfortable sharing with the world, imagine the abuse that never reaches a camera. It reflects a reality in which the humiliation of Palestinians has become so normalised that it is documented, celebrated, and shared without shame. No human being should be treated this way. No society should accept this as normal.

financialreview Former Today show host Karl Stefanovic has lost his only remaining media contract after ARN decided to drop him from The Long Weekend, a three-hour-long radio program he co-hosted alongside Eddie McGuire.

Sources with knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said ARN decided this week to end its relationship with Stefanovic. The contract was reportedly worth about $200,000 for the remainder of the year.

From The Local Situation on Instagram:

For the uninitiated, this is Thomas Sewell, a self-described white supremacist and neo-Nazi.

There will be people who share some concerns about immigration without being racist, but not Thomas.

Today, a magistrate found him guilty over his behaviour outside the Chinese consulate, describing his racist slurs as "repugnant" and saying he was emulating the Nazi thugs of 1930s Berlin.

The magistrate also told him he had "yet to learn what it is to be an Australian", before adding: "Whatever can be said about you ... you're not a sovereign citizen, that's something."

He was handed an 18-month community corrections order and must complete 200 hours of unpaid work.

SBS has today lifted the curtain on the returning SBS2, revealing a fresh identity, expanded programming slate and new weekly schedule ahead of its August launch.

The announcement comes after TV Blackbox first broke the news last month that SBS Viceland would be retired in favour of reviving the SBS2 brand, with the broadcaster now detailing the new identity, launch lineup and programming strategy behind the relaunch.

The rebrand follows the conclusion of SBS’s longstanding branding partnership with VICE Media and is designed to bring the channel back under the SBS banner, creating a clearer destination for its core 25 to 54 audience across broadcast and streaming while retaining its mix of documentaries, comedy, live sport and entertainment.

The refreshed branding also adopts a more restrained look than the channel’s previous SBS2 identity, aligning it more closely with SBS’s current family of television and streaming brands.

Alongside a refreshed on air look, SBS says it will introduce a more structured weekly schedule, with regular nights dedicated to entertainment, iconic films, factual storytelling and event programming, while expanding its focus on premium drama, fandom driven content and shared viewing experiences.

Among the headline titles joining the relaunch are The Vampire Lestat, the new season of Interview With the Vampire, The Dropout, Fleishman Is in Trouble, Minx, The Future with Hannah Fry, Couples Therapy, The Centre Seat: 60 Years of Star Trek and History’s Greatest Machines with Dolph Lundgren, alongside live cycling, comedy specials and themed programming events.

SBS Acting Head of Network Programming Natalie Edgar said the relaunch builds on what audiences already value about the channel while making it easier to discover SBS’s distinctive programming across broadcast and streaming.

“Bringing the channel back under the SBS banner creates a clearer destination for audiences across broadcast and streaming, while giving us greater opportunity to connect viewers with the stories, characters and cultural moments they won’t find anywhere else.”

The refreshed channel will also feature personalities including Sean Bean, David Duchovny, Adam Hills, Mayim Bialik, Raven-Symoné and Danny Estrin, alongside a mix of premium acquisitions, original productions and live sporting events.

The far right is on the march. Pauline Hanson's One Nation has recruited tens of thousands of people and raised millions to fund their reactionary, anti-worker and racist campaigns. They're backed by billionaires like Gina Rinehart who rightly see the party as a vehicle for advancing their interests.

Max Chandler-Mather: If you want to find the common ground for a hopeful, progressive politics of the future - it starts with listening to people.

That's what The Green Institute's Good Life Survey project is all about.
