Greg Sheridan

That exclusive and all our scoops are live now at theaustralian.com.au.

When the world seems huge and horrifying, we bring in Greg Sheridan to help make sense of it all.

Today, Greg's here to talk about three years since the Hamas attack that changed the world and what it tells us about modern Australia.

[gentle music] Greg Sheridan is The Australian's foreign editor, and over the past three years he's been writing about the consequences of Hamas' attack on Israeli civilians on October 7, 2023.

During the attack, about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.

Greg, one of the things that's arisen in Australian society as probably a consequence of that is a realization from a lot of people about how deep antisemitism runs in our community.

I don't, by the way, see Jewish students torturing their schools.

Joining me is the country's top foreign affairs writer, Greg Sheridan of The Australian.

Greg, great to see you again.

What is going on in France and what lessons should we take from this? Well, Andrew,

Enemies of the West.

I think I can't see any other way around that.

Greg Sheridan, great to talk to you.

Thank you so much for your time.

After the break, Anthony Albanese had his New York Minute.

But what did it actually achieve? I'm going to recap the Prime Minister's trip with Greg Sheridan after the break.

I think it's fair to say that Anthony Albanese's New York trip didn't exactly get off to a flying start.

Prime Minister, here in New York on Wednesday night, you will receive an award for being a global citizen.

Nothing says, we've got this, quite like that.

There was, of course, the famous selfie with Donald Trump, although, as I revealed last week, it was less a great diplomatic catch-up on the sidelines of the UN and more a quick snap in front of a photo wall where the US president was posing for pictures with pretty much anyone who wandered past.

So what exactly did Anthony Albanese achieve for Australia in New York? And perhaps more importantly, what did Elbow's trip reveal about Australia's place in the world under this Labor government? Joining me now is foreign editor at the Australian newspaper, Greg Sheridan.

Greg, great to see you.

I thank you.

All right, we are joined this week by the Australian newspaper's foreign editor, Greg Sheridan, Melissa Clarke, ABC News political correspondent, and Matthew Knott, foreign affairs and national security correspondent for the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

Very good morning to all of you.

Morning, David.

It does depend who you believe.

First, let's get back to our panel.

We're joined once more by Greg Sheridan from The Australian, Melissa Clarke from the ABC and Matthew Knott from the Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

Just to come back to the conversation around AI there, Greg, from the Coalition, what we heard there, I think, from Jane Hume was...

But again, I mean, there's a couple of us.

Greg Sheridan also, a former colleague of mine at the Australian, also got a bit of an apology out of him as well.

Interestingly enough, the apology for the record the first time he gave it was when he resumed the opposition leadership.

He needed to clear the deck on that issue, partly because he's an electorate.

Plus, Labor decides to focus on gaining a new seat at the United Nations instead of fixing their plummeting polling numbers.

Greg Sheridan will explain whether it's all worth it.

And countries in the Caribbean are turning the grievance industry into a national project.

rearranging school curriculum so kids can learn to be activists in the campaign for slavery reparations.

And I appreciate you talking to me tonight.

We're going to go to a break.

When we come back, does Australia really need a seat on the UN Security Council? And do we believe the government's promise that AI is going to make us all rich? Greg Sheridan will answer those questions and more after this.

Well, the Prime Minister announced today Australia's bid for a seat on the UN Security Council.

Our top joint strike fighter base is already being protected using their technology.

Greg Sheridan will have more on that shortly.

But first, after a month discussing melons, mums and memes, the national conversation has finally got back around to migration.

And once again, it's Pauline Hanson who's setting the national agenda, which is really quite remarkable.

When we come back, shocking revelations that Labor is using a China-linked company to secure Australia's military bases.

Plus, local Labor branches are pushing the Albanese government to adopt an even more extreme stance against Israel.

Greg Sheridan will join me after this.

Welcome back to the program.
