Sky News host Chris Kenny has labelled Australia’s state leaders – save for New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian – as “political cowards” as they continue to stand by their hard borders. “They’re blocking borders around the country, and locking down hard in Victoria, despite the pain and collateral damage they're creating,” he said. “This is beyond a joke.
“The nation united in shutting down, the states are all on board for accepting federal funds for JobKeeper and the like, but there is no consensus on opening up and learning to live with the virus. “This is what has happened to our premiers, they are single minded, obsessed, and they’re strangling the nation”.
GladysB And who gives a %^^ what Chris Kenny thinks?
GladysB Only the MSM and some dopey cops protect them now!
GladysB Naaaa their wedged! If they open then the questions will start getting asked If they remain closed the questions will start getting asked louder
GladysB What about ABarrMLA ? No border rules there and no cases? Cmon Chris - have another go
GladysB Get rid of Local and State Govts.
GladysB It will only change if their Polls head South.
GladysB Open our borders! We are one! 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
GladysB If only we had a real, coherent and proactive strategy to get out of this as a nation. The we’re all in this together which everyone bought into back in March has been crapped on by the states.
GladysB I don’t support the protesters or what they stand for but it isn’t a good look for police to turn up with a battering ram and half an army of officers.
rationaliza GladysB The problem for Australia is that it is labor premiers who have closed its borders. Their goal is to destroy Scomo and if Australia gets in the way so be it.
GladysB Only one reason!
GladysB Ask Dan about his new gag laws
GladysB Right, so if you make a tough decision you’re a coward...
GladysB Are we supposed to believe the word of C.K!? Give me a break!
GladysB Closed borders will wake us up to the ridiculous federation laws we have
GladysB It's time to stop this rubbish! All these SkyNews 'contributors' just spew out rubbish. As someone who lives in Qld., I'm very happy with the borders being closed.
GladysB Great thing that whatever bullshit “opinions “ Chris Kenny attempts to peddle is relegated to the bin,
GladysB Seeing GST is crashing with the economy, it's time to wean the guilty states off the teat.
GladysB Premiers deserve a Medal of Honor for putting the Health of their Communities above $$. Respect right there.
donnawinterwat1 GladysB Is that right? He forgot to include ScottMorrisonMP.
GladysB They have wedged Morrison beautifully. They know he can’t turn off the rivers of welfare gold because it would be political suicide. As such they will continue to play these games with the country. It is a national disgrace and frankly embarrassing.
GladysB Every State Premier and the Prime Minister should be ashamed of themselves for what they have done to Australia. Their individual self-preserving antics has destroyed what was once a proud nation of Aussies!
GladysB There are many more names applicable to the inept and corrupt comrade Dan..
GladysB I wouldn't say they're cowards, more like political opportunists - it's just one giant pissing competition for them all
GladysB
GladysB On the contrary the strength they’ve demonstrated doing the right thing is admirable. Congrats to those that stood their ground. 👏👏👏GladysIsWeak
GladysB Do you ever get embarrassed Kenny pretending to be an independent journalist, calling out the ABC for bias, and being the worst type of duffle coat wearing, paid up Tory wind up toy?

What Australia is facing 'is not a recession but a catastrophe': Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says what Australia is facing is not a recession but rather a catastrophe which no one in the government “has any clue how to get out of”. \n\n“I don't think anyone in the government has any clue how we get out of this,” Mr Jones said.\n \n“This is the worst economic blow since World War Two, the largest fall in GDP, seven per cent since records began in 1959.\n\n“The only thing we know is that they put us here.\n\n'It is not a recession; it is a catastrophe.\n\n“The response to this coronavirus has been prompted by alarmist chief medical officers who have ignored international evidence; politicians who've refused to lead but rather follow; and hysterical modelling, which has now been totally discredited”. \n\nMr Jones also spoke of an 'unprecedented intervention by distinguished medical people across Australia'. \n\nHe said they have written to Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews expressing deep concern with the management of the coronavirus. \n\nImage: Getty \n\n Alan.... Your geriatric whining and whinging has passed 'Best Use By' date. If it hangs around too long it starts to smell and becomes covered in some unhygienic substance. Except Dodgy Dan Andrews. I'm sure he's thinking about a 'Join a Union to get a job' scheme. Let it burn. The economy will balance itself out without government intervention.
