Every Sunday, we’ll bring you some of the Guardian’s best stories from the week. Stories we loved, that made us feel happy, sad, or just made us think, read out by the people who wrote them. This weekend, unsettled by how angry our world has become, journalist and author Brigid Delaney explores what we can do to break the contagion of rage we’re seeing in our everyday lives

The Barries are back, and Angus Taylor has won the Liberal leadership battle against Sussan Ley. Speaking on Friday afternoon, the new leader said he did not seek to be ‘One Nation lite’ but he would ‘shut the door’ on people who don’t share ‘Australian values’. But the spill wasn’t the only story in Australian politics this week. Barrie Cassidy and Tony Barry unpack the challenge ahead for Taylor, the rise of One Nation and the visit of Israeli president Isaac Herzog

Angus Taylor has been elected the Liberal party’s new leader, ousting Sussan Ley in a party room ballot 34 votes to 17. Speaking shortly after the vote, Ley said she would quit parliament within weeks in a bid to provide clear air for Taylor’s leadership. In his first speech as opposition leader Taylor pointed to a greater focus on immigration policy, saying: “If someone doesn’t subscribe to our core beliefs, the door must be shut.” Political editor Tom McIlroy speaks to Nour Haydar about how it all went down and Taylor’s striking shift in tone on immigration

Protesters around Australia, including Nick McKim and other Greens colleagues, gathered to express opposition to the visit of the Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, this week. The Greens senator tells our political editor, Tom McIlroy, that the confronting scenes of police aggression towards protesters in Sydney were a ‘massive overreach’. McKim is the Greens spokesperson for economic justice and treasury, and is now leading a parliamentary inquiry into the 50% capital gains tax discount. Labor has not ruled out possible changes to the generous tax breaks for investors before the May budget. The Tasmanian senator argues that, with Greens support, the government can ‘marry up the politics and the policy’ to meaningfully addressing the housing crisis

After weeks of speculation, a Liberal leadership spill is set for 9am on Friday when Angus Taylor will challenge the opposition leader, Sussan Ley, for control of the party. Political editor Tom McIllroy speaks to Reged Ahmad about why Taylor is making his move now, whether he has the numbers to win, and what it all means for the future direction of the Coalition
