Joe Hockey has warned Australia against being "constant critics" of the Trump administration in its early days.

The Australian ambassador to the United States was in Canberra this week to weigh in on the federal government's new foreign policy blueprint along with all other ambassadors and high commissioners.

The administration is only 69 days into the four-year tenure, Mr Hockey said in a speech to the Sydney Institute.

"If this was a five-day international Test cricket match, we would still be in the first session on the first day," he said.

The ABC religion and ethics division is a source of constant disappointments. There is a lot of religious gobbledegook and little ethics in the daily sauce. Today we analyse what should have been a major breakthrough in helping students discover their purpose in life.

US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order undoing a slew of Obama-era climate change regulations that his administration says are hobbling oil drillers and coal miners, a move environmental groups have vowed to take to court.

Many philosophers have tried to pit the enlightenment of sciences against old humanities in various formats, as if we should distrust sciences from giving us the clues of what we should know.

The next bit is reprinted from the Advertisers letters page of Halloween 2014: IF the future frigates are to be built in Adelaide, and the ship chosen is the Type 26 Combat Ship, a new era in naval co-operation could begin.

The UK Navy are building 13 of these ships, with BAE doing much of the design work and Raytheon developing the navigation and bridge systems.

Our stiff upper lip, our "compassion" and our solidarity with our friends the Poms and the Yanks would make sure we would get through this serious crisis.

It is as if we did not create the problem. The terrorists are rat bags for disturbing our peace and we are so righteous in our suit and tie.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has placed himself in the crosshairs of Australian sport's most bitter feud, in a move that could lead to the ousting of the country's most powerful Olympic official John Coates.

The ABC has also unearthed audio of the Prime Minister lavishly praising the woman who is challenging Coates.

Mr Fraudband you’ve screwed our dream

Made the biggest mess that we’ve ever seen

Fall 2016 brought a fundamental change to the United States. Its fastest and largest network—the decentralized network of electronic market exchanges—began to experience its first ever intentional delay. Specifically, a 38-mile coil of fiber-optic cable was embedded into a new exchange network node, which, given the finite speed of light, introduced a systematic 350-µs (microsecond) delay in signal transmission (1). The future impacts this might have at the systems level are unknown...
