Australian politics live: Hastie urges deal with US to get AI model; Taylor says Hanson’s comments on PM’s mother ‘off limits’

Follow the day’s news live Get our new political email , free app or daily news podcast Hanson’s comments on Albanese’s mother ‘gratuitous and unnecessary’: Hume Jane Hume has joined the pile on, blasting Pauline Hanson for her comments about Anthony Albanese’s mother. I think that these comments were gratuitous and unnecessary. And the idea that you would disparage people that have grown up in social housing, I think, is a little distasteful. I mean, it doubles down on the fact that Senator Hanson has also disrespected our veteran community with her atrocious comments about Andrew Hastie in that cartoon.

The 'authenticity' of Celine Dion: 'She appeals to the Boomers and the Zoomers'

François Picard is pleased to welcome Nick Rees-Roberts, Professor of Media, Culture and Communication at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University, Paris. According to Roberts, Celine Dion’s extraordinary return to Paris reveals something larger than the enduring popularity of a global pop star. Her appeal lies in an unusual ability to bridge categories that contemporary celebrity and pop culture often keep separate: generations, languages, cultural hierarchies and even the apparent opposition between authenticity and carefully constructed stardom.

JD Vance’s Catholicism could be at odds with Maga evangelicals in 2028

Vice-president wears religion on his sleeve but winding spiritual path could alienate evangelicals and Catholics US vice-president JD Vance has worn his religion on his sleeve since converting to Catholicism in 2019. He recently published a book, Communion: Finding My Way Back to Faith, and memorably met the late Pope Francis at the Vatican on Easter Sunday in 2025, a day before the pontiff died. But his religious identity could take on new weight as he positions himself for a presidential run in 2028, in which a successful campaign would make him only the third Catholic president in US history. Vance’s winding spiritual path – combined with his avowed evangelical roots – have the potential to stymie him, as he seeks to retain the Christian nationalist voters that have sustained Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again (Maga) movement while wooing fellow Catholics.
