The US Virginia-class nuclear submarine program has been beset by countless issues. Is Australia set to inherit expensive lemons?

The $360 billion cost of AUKUS might be startling, but there’s also the secret cost of building a dump for high-grade nuclear waste.

Australia's defence minister is usually fastidious in declaring sources of gifts or hospitality. So why the secrecy around a simple game of golf?

Church-run charities are exempt from disclosing financial information to regulators. Could the Hillsong whistleblower documents change that?

This system of 'honorariums' — paying pastors for speaking at one another's churches — is ultimately paid for by the tithes and offerings of churchgoers.

Independent MP Andrew Wilkie has tabled a cache of internal Hillsong documents that he alleges reveal the church breaking numerous laws.

Nine's alarmist 'Red Alert' series claims to forewarn readers about war with China. Instead, it provides a lot of 'khaki hyperbole'.

Former Coalition staffer Rachelle Miller’s robodebt royal commission evidence shows how the Coalition led the media on the illegal scheme.

The dead cardinal has left the Catholic Church in Australia in terrible shape, and there are no signs it has any chance of getting well again.

‘Does any of the money donated to these organisations end up being used to pay compensation for victims of abuse?’

David Hardaker lifts the veil of secrecy covering the millions of dollars in charity — and the credible calls to finally stop the flow of taxpayer support.

No matter how big or small, a basic religious charity (BRC) has all the benefits but none of the obligations all other charities must adhere to.

The former defence and foreign affairs minister will head to London early next year.

The former PM, apparently acting alone and in secret, gave impetus to a deal that blindsided France and ambushed his Labor opposition.

Four parliamentarians have moved to disallow an $18 million grant introduced by the Morrison government.

In 2021, Fox News escalated a complaint over the Four Corners series ‘Fox and the Big Lie’. Today, nearly eight months later, it remains on the shelf.

A charity that received special tax status by Treasury — at the time Morrison was secretly co-directing the portfolio — has raised eyebrows.

The Morrison government approved a million-dollar-plus deal closely tied to Hillsong — one of two before the 2019 election it expected to lose.

An excerpt from the meeting discloses Brian Houston’s misdeeds, a call for compassion, and a damage control strategy.
