NZ Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern should get “her facts straight” before using the Australian government and its long-standing deportation policy as a “convenient punching bag” for her re-election campaign, according to Sky News host Chris Kenny. Around 2,000 New Zealanders have been deported under Australia’s policy of sending non-residents back to their country of origin if they have been found guilty of a serious offence.

Like Jewelry Baubles got HER facts right, Kenny🐕?

It says 'Chris Kenny says' not 'Chris Kenny thinks' because clearly Chris is not doing any thinking.

Everyone else says Chris Kenny should stop getting plastered before he goes to air on Sky News and uses one of our most loyal allies as a “convenient punching bag” for his incoherent rants.

ScoMoFo said he would always receive criminals from other countries who had happened to be born in Australia. So what’s stopping the repatriation of IS wives and children? ScoMoFo can't help lying.

The policy is stupid.

She's getting rekt in the election

Found this version interesting

Seems natural that Australia would get hit, after all our leaders are simply standing still in the face of all the important issues.

I will never tire of Kenny’s Andy Kaufman-style longform performance piece. Absurd comedy like his is quite the antidote to Adern’s authenticity and compassion. I hope he is never booed off the stage. auspol

She won’t be re-elected as she was never elected. Party only got 33 % of the vote. jacindaardern bribed her way in by gifting millions to a drunk old fraudster winstonpeters . MNZGA MAGA LETSDOTHISRIGHT

Chris Kenny-facts😂

Ok, set a limit on how many NZ citizens can be in Australia at any one time, too easy!!! and do the same number to Australians, I know who would be bending over backwards to scrap that idea! I was so annoyed at that little tantrum from an Visiting PM, disgraceful!

She won’t be re-elected!

Oh fkn spare me...

Ummmm A convenient punching bag to score points means they are an easy target which means she was right

Jack Ardern should never have been elevated to PM....Winston Peters gave labor the win even tho they were 10% behind the incumbents

Funny how it goes unsaid about what one of Australians own came to Christchrch and did. Worst than all the 'Kiwi criminals' put together!

This is a KIWI problem...

Kenny missed a critical point - many of the offending NZ'ers migrated in childhood and are citizens in name only. They often have no practical links with NZ. And whatever factors resulted in their offending, they are not NZ's fault. Why should they be NZ's problem to deal with?

I’ve not seen Our PM’s response?

Skynews disinformation and garbage. Yawn.

Where’s john podesta?

What? Chris Kenny had an opinion! Who’d have thought?

So full of her own importance.....Who the hell shows so much disdain for a country's PM? She looking for headlines...just watch Walleed interview her on The Project....

It is absolutely repugnant to see this socialist sucker giving orders to our PM: ' ...Do not...'. jacindaardern should never come back here. and she WILL get her dodgy apples back in NZ.

I really don't think you should be allow to use the term 'News' in your name.

You don’t give a stuff when ScottyFromMarketing blatantly lies to foreign leaders. Get real it will do the smug prick some good

People in her own country have had enough of her says my sister- in-law who is a New Zealander .

Kenny should check his facts before using anyone else as a punching bag.

Like the insult on all other immigrants .... how are the Greeks, Italians, Chinese and Indians doing in Australia after 100+ years

To be fair he's all the verve, charm & grace of a large bag ScottyfromMarketing

ClarkGreenaway He’s Right.

Chris said that?

The Devil is relevant. He is known for attacking individuals by their place of birth. The individuals concerned shold be better off in New Zealand. If not, perhaps you could check they were definetely born there. Have a nice day P.M. (Are you born in New Zealand?)

Credit where credit is due. ppl like Bill O’reilly or Bolt do appear to have some kind of intelligence (used for evil manipulation) Chris Kenny is just dumbf()ck diet version, I don’t get how ppl could be brainwashed by him at all 😂

Facts are they are NZ citizens you Dope. If they cldnt be bothered getting citizenship well they didnt care either. A way of getting home free.

MomoStJohn Kenny got it right.

Chris needs to visit an Ashram and have a good hard think about his life and the words that dribble from his mouth.

The libs used Aust tax payer $ as a 'convenient slush fund' for re-election. Aka sportsrorts let's not forget that, where's your article on that? auspol

Great photo, btw.

Speaking of punching bags didn’t one of your colleagues suggest that’s what she should be used as

Why are all dumb men so intimidated by her?

are FakeNewsMedia EnemyOfThePeople and un-Australian, they and all of the newscorp products and those who sponsor them should be boycotted

Jacinda can just piss right off, upstart

pulpyfictorious We kiwis can only apologize for that embarrassing display. At least Scomo could see the funny side. jacindafromhr

in the absence of facts, once again, CK makes them up.

Ha ha Fido talking about facts another reason to remind everyone turn off sky

Coltheman1 Welcome to our world... nothing gets in the way of jacindaardern and pushing her image ... facts included. Even the Muslim victims of the mass shooting.. they don’t want a remembrance ceremony but ‘nope’ PM wants her photo in a headscarf and sad caring face.

No more free travel between the 2 countries

Why the hell do we want Kiwi criminals? Jesus, get real....

Chris Kenny attacks a female in power who dared to speak. Quelle surprise... In other news, Alan Jones seen frothing at the mouth. The Health Dept are checking if virus or simply “that cheeky female NZ PM” using words with more than one syllable.

'Her' 🙄

crinimals 😂 jacinda scomo

Re-election campaign? Is her grade 6 class electing its 'behaviour monitor' again?

Stay in NZ you leftwing loon

We could solve global warming just by fastening solar panels to those chompers

What on earth is wrong with lefty leaders. So irrational and smug. Citizenship means nothing to them in both directions

He would say that, wouldn't he....

meanwhile later on

Chris Kenny is as much of an arsehole as his mate ScottyfromMarketing . You know him, the liarfromtheshire

tsambi1 Its a pity she wasn't leading our Country.

Kenny has his head in a dark place

Adern was Tony Blair's partner in 'Weapons of mass destruction' that took us to a false war to destabilize the middle east and bring population replacement to the west. She should be tried for war crimes.

Chris Kenny says What I mean does anybody actually listen to him

Chris Kenny says:

Wonder what Chris Kenny thinks the facts might, except ... 1 - I deliberately don’t subscribe or listen to SkyNews (or any Murdoch media) 2 - Kenny has a very high opinion of himself. He’s the perfect example of a person who’s been promoted well above their level of competence.

What's a Chris Kenny? Is that another name for needing the Brasco?

😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yeah, she needs to get “her facts straight” Oh God, are we back in high school or is Kylie Mole writing for SkyNews ?

Chris Kenny says. Is that like Simon says without the collective agreement to participate?

Is she here again? Can't she just stick to trying to ruin her own country.

2013 census 60,000 Australians living in NZ NewZealand 650,000 Kiwis living in Australia Percentage of population of each country moving across the Tasman? No wonder jacindaardern is worried about deportation of criminals 😂

Let her - her extreme left bias which does nothing other than paint NZ as a soft target will get her booted out of office come election time!

Mass murderer in Christchurch was Australian so we cant sayAustralians R enhancing the best interests of NZ citizens there as they largely R here. Furthermore Jacinda has offered a home to our refugees. Something dodgy going on .Scomo govt lost credibility

Listen Fox News Australia get your fact's straight before you can go to air again

Somewhere, a village is missing its idiot.

Why CLP uses asylum seekers as an electoral punching bag

🐕 🐕

multioptioned Chris whooooooo ? another Sky dingbat I guess

Chris Kenny get his knickers in a knot yet again. Does this Kenny run a comedy show, it’s certainly not news or current affairs. So much right wing lunatic rubbish

She is all show, the only thing she knows.

😂😂😂

Ffs Pie in the Sky people, it is plain for the whole world to see, Jacinta Ardern's beaming intelligence, a Queen, with Scott Morrison playing the Court Jester! Class, accompanied by the (Australian) Ass!

Shes a grab!

DeportArdern

She’s a bloody disgrace and an embarrassment to the country, if she wants to do something,put the return criminals in prison for a yr or 2 then release them, also she can get rid of that Aussie that shot those Muslims and save he New Zealand taxpayers millions

We had this old nag on the farm when I was a kid. The old man used to file her teeth down.

Chris Kenny should take a very long walk off a very short pier.

Just deport her

She has set a nasty precedent, bad mannered and short sighted. She may well regret her behaviour when New Zealand needs support in the future.

Head back over The Ditch please.

Whether she is right or wrong in what she said, that was the wrong place to bring it up..... I never seen a leader of another country publicly shame the leader of the country they are visiting the way she just did. Lost a lot of respect.

Havenaar64 Australia should not 'deport its problems': Ardern... Mrs STUPID!! They are NOT Aussies, they are Kiwi's they are NZ's problem.

One of these Prime Ministers is an absolute credit to their country and one is an stinky embarrassment. Think we all know which is which eh.

Pm Arden has a point don’t don’t you think

Yes she should be buildiing houses for the homeless as she promised not one built so far.

It seems that every time Ardern wants to look good she takes pit shots at Australia. Maybe it’s time we started having a go back after all NZ literally has nothing we need. Without Aust welcoming kiwis and allowing them to work here NZ unemployment would be through the roof

'How Dare you!' Australia is Offended' This woman is a minow who does she think she is we dont want NZ's trash

And what would Chris Kenny, the spectacle wearing boiled egg impersonator, know about “facts”?

People on here should not ignore the message just because they don’t like the messenger

Totally agree!

Not using it to avoid the sports rorts debacle ?...nah surely not ...

No we are definitely not a punching bag, WE ARE A LAUGHING STOCK

jacindaardern has all the correct facts and stuck them right up ScottMorrisonMP and Australia. This is your boy and what a leader you gave yourselves.

Deport her. The charge.....grandstanding.

A mason educated globalist. I feel sorry for Nzers.

Chris Kenny says a lot.. he is a commentator, no more. He simply has opinions that he disguises as evidence.

briez63 Scott Morrison is 100% spot on ... if they have been here since kids and haven’t bothered to take out citizenship don’t let the door hit your arse out the way back if you commit a crime

I sincerely doubt Chris Kenny would welcome the forced repatriation of the Christchurch mass murderer, which is what his argument leads to.

Chris Kenny is an irrelevant arsehole that no one has heard of. Most have unsubscribed to & their RWNJ ideology.

oranglaut What? I know we have been away for a couple of years, but does Chris Kenny still have a job? Of course, he gets to waffle on at ?

Well said.

Chris Kenny is wrong.

Why are we giving horse face any air time?

Poor Kenny and the Murdoch club are Hysterical. Absolutely Hilarious

Why isn't Kenny reporting on the sports rorts?

why should she, facts mean little for this LNP govt

A legend in her own mind. New Zealand - a land of hypocrites. Pitiful per capita refugee intakes. Pathetic pet capita foreign aid. Disgraceful performance capita defence spending. Didn’t hear Jacinta mention those facts.

Quick call the waaaahhhmbulance 🚑

Meh, break the law get deported. Don't like it, don't break the law.

I reckon Jacinda Ardern already knows you're a tool. Not much matters after that. 🤣😂🤣

Fark off

Nothing more tragic than the sight of a wounded conservative's face in the process of a dummy spit. Are the toys still in his cot or has he tossed them out as well? Unlike ScottyFromMarketting, Jacinda Ardern doesn't run & hide in Hawaii.

Ardern is New Zealand’s worst performing prime minister in history

And what facts are those !!!!!

He He He..☺️

Yes. Go away marxist

embarrassing - sorry Aussies

Coltheman1 Yep. She was obviously grandstanding in the hope of attracting votes

Kenny cramps his right wing leg again...

She certainly doesn’t understand the tax issues. Her speech was petulant and childish.

Got to love politics.

Chris, mate. We don’t care about your opinions.

jacindaardern ScottMorrisonMP How about use NZ Dunedin Longitudinal Study that helps identify those likely to become criminals in first years?Watch - Predict My Future. The Science of Us. Know Root cause Your citizens turn bad. NZ responsibility NOT Australia’s.

We’re lucky we have Chris Kenny to tell the facts rather then the dribble from the parasites on the left, and that include most of the comments from the unbathed commenting here

Why don't you embolden another racist to go murder people about it, Chris.

Chris Kenny demanding others get their facts straight?

Arderns head😂😂😂😂😂😂

Chris Kenny should get his liver checked.

Like facts have ever mattered to Chris Kenny

Arden is clearly not fit for office if she believes that Australia can deport Australians. She should seek mental help.

Wow, Kenny chastising anyone on 'GETTING FACTS STRAIGHT' is a whole new measure of chutzpah. Facts have little currency in the Murdoch disinformation factory.

So someone who’s been here since they were, say 2 years old, commits a relevant crime when they are 35. Why should NZ have to clean up our mess?

Chris Kenny is munted auspol

That hag is a disgrace to all Anglo Saxon people.

Her facts were straight. Luckily for Chris Kenny, his readers/viewers don't deal in facts.

'I'm opposed to a royal commission into Australia's bushfires': Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says he is opposed to a royal commission into bushfires because “it panders to the deliberately created international perception that these bushfires are unprecedented”. \n\nLast week, Prime Minister Scott Morrison outlined the details of the government’s royal commission into the nation’s devastating summer of bushfires, saying its main objective is to “keep Australians safe”.\n\nMr Morrison said the royal commission will be focused on a three-pronged approach, primarily related to improving natural disaster management coordination across all levels of government, improving Australia's 'resilience and adaptation to a changing climate' and for providing a legal framework for Commonwealth involvement in future national emergencies.\n\nMr Jones said his stance is not intended “to diminish the tragedy and trauma of what has taken place”. \n\n“However, there has been a ruthless and relentless campaign by the global warming apologists to make sure the world believes these fires were unprecedented and a royal commission panders to that.”\n\nSky News hosts Alan Jones and Graham Richardson spoke with the Mayor of the Bega Valley Shire Kristy McBain, who gave an insight into the ongoing plight her region faces as a result of the devastating summer of bushfires. \n\n'The most desperate need that we have at the moment is for people, and governments especially, to understand ... there are people impacted by the disaster as a whole, those people at the moment are falling through the cracks,' Ms McBain said. \n\nImage: Getty Well of course Jonesy knows more than the RFS Commissioner.
