At the Bondi vigil, Pauline and Barnaby turned tragedy into opportunism. It is inexcusable | Julianne Schultz Hanson has done more than any other politician to foster division in Australia. Her words to mourners after the horrific attack ring hollow

Prof Julianne Schultz's powerful reflection on the horrific Bondi attack and its fraught political aftermath: 'a targeted killing of Jewish Australians and an attack on the very idea of the nation as an inclusive society of fairness and tolerance' #auspol www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The world wants China’s rare earth elements – what is life like in the city that produces them? More than 80% of China’s rare earth reserves are located in Baotou, an industrial hub of 2.7 million people that abuts the Gobi desert

Part of the reason that China has been able to dominate global supplies of rare earths at competitive prices is because, as well as being rich in natural resources, it has also been willing to let poor, rural people bear the brunt of the toxic, dirty work, writes Amy Hawkins

Sometimes the headlines on the ABC news front are either circa 2010 BuzzFeed-esque, or just weird or plainly wrong. Article level is usually fine.
