Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Australia's Prime Minister, Paul Keating, has likened the monarchy to a horse and cart that should be traded in for something better, Reuter reports from Canberra.
Speaking on Saturday in the country town of Corowa, where Australia's constitution was developed 100 years ago, Mr Keating rejected the monarchist argument 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it'. He said: 'We didn't throw out the horse and cart because they were broke. We abandoned them. We affectionately and gracefully retired them.'
