Neither Israel nor Iran seem committed to Trump's script. Daytime will test the durability of any ceasefire
These days, peace is a post on social media. On Donald Trump's Truth Social site, it came in two parts. Part one read: "CONGRATULATIONS WORLD, IT'S TIME FOR PEACE." The Magna Carta it wasn't, but it was a peace treaty for our times - a US president announcing there would be no retaliation against Iran's missile attack. An anxious world watching for US bombers returning to Iranian skies could cool its jets - and the primetime president could feel vindicated, having enjoyed the sugar rush of strategic success. Trump has tweaked the politics and military landscape around Iran to suit US interests, without a single American life lost. He had framed US intervention in Iran as an effort to prevent a "forever" foreign war, not to provoke it, and he is sitting pretty, following ugly predictions he'd be sucked into conflict. Then, on Truth Social, there was peace "part two". A couple of hours after announcing non-retaliation, Trump wrote the sequel: "Ceasefire." He posted: "CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE!" - saying a "complete and total" ceasefire had been fully agreed between Israel and Iran. Quite the day of problem-solving for the self-styled "peacemaker-in-chief". Quite the day of problems unsolved too - time will tell. As deadlines loomed, neither Israel nor Iran appeared fully committed to the Trump script, and fresh missiles were fired overnight. Daytime will test the durability of a ceasefire. There are motivations on both sides to continue a conflict in which both see the other as an existential threat. Can Tehran regard Donald Trump as a trusted broker of peace when he floated the idea of regime change in Iran, as pursued by Israel? Can Israel be convinced to pull back on its military advantage when its instinct will be to reinforce superiority and undermine an Iranian rebuild? Trump's influence will be tested, as ever, when he flies to a NATO summit in The Netherlands today. For him, it can be a difficult crowd and one for whom he remains a mystery. A positive result in the Middle East will help to confound their curiosity, for the better.

Queensland treasurer rejects budget ‘horror show' and finally exorcises Campbell Newman's ghost
Campbell Newman must be turning in his political grave. But that is clearly the point of Queensland treasurer David Janetzki's first state budget – a 'no austerity' plan that grows the public sector, increases state debt to more than $200bn and is relatively free of ideological nasties. The last time a first-term Liberal National party government in Queensland delivered its first financial plan – back in 2012 – the health minister, Tim Nicholls, and Newman sacked 14,000 public servants and cut frontline services. In the process, they hampered Queensland's conservatives at the ballot box for a decade. Janetzki describes his budget as an attempt at finding the middle ground. In reality, it is a deliberate marker from the new government to distance itself from Newman; to bury the former premier's slash-and-burn approach deep underground and encase it in concrete to prevent a zombie return. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email The LNP was elected last year, largely on the back of its hardline youth crime agenda. The election tactic on most other issues was neutralisation – to adopt Labor's plans and minimise many of the economic policy differences – and the 2025 budget is true to form in that regard. Many of Labor's signature cost-of-living policies, including 50c transport fares and energy rebates, remain in place. The government has kept those promises in spite of some budgetary challenges, both real and invented. Coal royalties have tanked compared with the recent past, when Labor hiked royalty rates on super profits and made billions on the back of high export prices. Queensland's GST allocation for next year has also dropped; ironically partly because the state's coal royalties income has been strong in previous years. The LNP spent much of its first few months in power in Queensland trotting out exaggerated stories about Labor cooking the books. Those had raised some concern that the government was laying the groundwork to excuse ideological cuts as unavoidable. The government has dealt with those budgetary pressures largely by allowing state debt to continue to increase. It acknowledges that the state could be facing a credit rating downgrade. It remains to be seen what the LNP's hardliners might privately make of this budget. There remain, in the party room and within the broader party, plenty who privately want to tackle debt and rein in the public sector. For now though – as during the election campaign – there remains little public dissent about the course. The focus groups tell the party that Queenslanders want public assets in public hands and they value reasonable government spending on the services they rely on. This is a budget from a government that believes, above all else, about a second term. And one that wants to ensure the comparisons with Newman – whose 'horror show' first budget loomed over four Queensland elections – are gone for good. 'If there is one scare campaign I expect the opposition to run hardest on – I'm not even going to say the word, but what I will say is their scare campaign ends today,' Janetzki told reporters. What he was really saying was that the LNP finally now has the opportunity to step out of the spectre of 'He Who Must Not Be Named'.
