‘Disturbing': ANU walks back on ‘reasonable' definition of antisemitism
The Australian's Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan comments on the 'disturbing story' around the ANU reconsidering its definition of antisemitism. The Australian National University has walked back on its definition of antisemitism, which Australian Jewish leaders support. 'This is a sign of the rot and the degeneracy of our university culture,' Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Peta Credlin. 'If the universities now start to walk away from what is an entirely reasonable definition of antisemitism, that indicates a resumption of a very corrupt dynamic in Australia.'

Putin not interested in ‘comprehensive peace' in war against Ukraine
The Australian's Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan discusses United States President Donald Trump's frustration towards Russian President Vladimir Putin following deadly drone attacks on Ukraine. 'Putin is certainly not interested in a comprehensive peace,' Mr Sheridan told Sky News Australia. 'It may be Putin has, like the Chinese, has built a war economy now and it may be that there's a dynamic within his own society and leadership to keep going, also it feels like he is winning the war. 'The only thing that might bring Putin to a ceasefire table is if he himself suffers more serious losses.'

The Australian's Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan discusses Prime Minister Anthony Albanese travelling to Canada next month to attend the G7 summit. 'A terrific opportunity not only to confer with the Canadian Prime Minister but with other G7 leaders, including President Trump,' Mr Sheridan told Sky News Australia. 'I hope the prime minister might take on a visit to Washington … I think it'd be very good for the whole American system's view of Australia. 'He wants to show the world that we are still very engaged, we are still strategically a part of the West.'

Israel facing ‘morally difficult position' amid renewed offensive in Gaza

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday said the continued blockage of aid into Gaza was 'outrageous' and labelled the actions of the Israeli government 'completely unacceptable'. 'It just can't go on like this; it has to tell us what it's going to do and it has to provide for the basic necessities of the population of Gaza,' Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
