When I’m kindly referred to as “seasoned commentator” I feel every ache of my old age. Very kind of ABC Big Ideas to broadcast the recent LaTrobe Asia panel with @becstratin, @NickBisley, @theidlethinker and Lupita Wijaya.

As journalists, we love adjectives that grab attention. But do words like "strategic" and "vital" help or hinder understanding? I've had a look at how recent media language around the Quad can overstate what this forum has actually achieved.

No mention in this George Brandis column however that an Albanese-Trump meeting was scheduled for June on G7 sidelines but cancelled late by Trump during the Iran-Israel conflict.

Only three G20 nations have yet to secure a meeting with Trump: Brazil, Mexico - and Australia. It’s getting embarrassing for Anthony Albanese.

From "my friend Donald Trump" to questioning "the end of a beautiful friendship" – how did India-US relations deteriorate so dramatically in just 9 months? My latest tracks a month-by-month unravelling through the headlines that tell the story.
