“You know I praised Scott Morrison and the premiers, the National Cabinet, for how they got on top of this pandemic early,” Mr Kenny said. “But since then we've seen overreaction after overreaction, not from Canberra but from the states”. However, Mr Kenny did say NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian is now “starting to push harder than the other states to open up” as the coronavirus curve continues to flatten in the country.
On Friday Ms Berejiklian had said up to 50 people will be allowed inside pubs, cafes and restaurants from June after she decided to roll back far more restrictions than anticipated. “This is a lifeline, there'll be all sorts of new restrictions and social distancing, but these numbers will allow some businesses to operate commercially,” Mr Kenny said.

Who cares what Chris Kenny says ! Dumbarse !
What are Chris Kenny's credentials? o, nothing. ok
Well they underreacted on the Ruby Princess and both Health Minister and Premier kept their jobs. What right has she got to criticise overreaction now.
Yep... letting the Ruby Princess passengers off really helped. Well done Dutton and NSW. Like anyone is going to listen to NSW or the Murdoch party.
First of all was flatten the curve, now move the goal posts to elimination. Open up. wafifoprisoner
I totally agree 👍🏼
Knee jerk is the politically correct term
Blah, blah, blah.
Another thoughtful piece of expert commentary from ... oh, wait. It's Chris Kenny. Never mind.
Chris knows someone much better than everyone else on earth, he should tun for parliament. Oh wait, he did.
Chris ‘how to win twitter’ Kenny? Bahahaha
Chris Kenny, what a fuck wit, I wouldn't listen to his opinion. If they hadn't closed all the borders when they did, we would be in a lot worse position than we are now. And GladysB is just being a liberal lap dancer by reopening everything too soon. She aint getting my vote!
Not enough death?
Yeah Scooter whatever you recon..
Chris shove this in your pipe and smoke it 💩
This is an opinion piece and should contain a rant warning
Yeah I'd put my life in Chris Kenny's ever so cautiously careful hands, any day, sure, no problem 😏 Bloke's an analytical genius with scientificy stuff 🤠 JacktheInsider
It's been 8wks since I went to the gym. The gains have all but disappeared completely.
Isn’t she the same Premier who oversaw Ruby prince debacle & wants Chinese students to return next month? What coolaid you drinking to think she’s doing a good job?
Who is Chris Kenny and why should I give a tinker's cuss what he thinks?
It's better to overreact then underreact!!!!! Thank goodness Chris Kenny has no influence in running this country!!!!
So says Chris Kenny...not an expert.

US states move to reopen despite predictions of 'death and destruction' | Sky News AustraliaFormer US Naval Intelligence Officer John Jorden says the “American public is starting to realise there is a tension between what the media is saying and the reality” of the coronavirus crisis. \n\nMr Jordan told Sky News all US states were beginning to reopen “to varying degrees” and people were “conflicted about it”. \n\nHe said the media painted the early reopening as “a disaster,', with some warning 'there’s going to be a lot of death and destruction and illness”. \n\n“On a per capita basis they are doing better both in terms of infection and in terms of hospitalisation, and in terms of deaths than are the real militant lockdown states,” he said. \n\n“Americans are coming to understand risk of illness is not equally distributed across society – it is overwhelmingly concentrated towards older folks.\n\n“So if you protect those groups the risk is fairly minimal throughout the rest of society – that’s what those states that have opened up early have done.” \n\nImage: AP Lol, wait, what, it's all bullshit? Just like here in Australia? Lying FakeNewsMediaClowns FakeNewsPandemic FakePandemic ...peddling fear and ruining lives John Jordan ... Another US FOX News conservative commentator. Also a fund raiser for Donald Trump and former failed Republican candidates. I think his version of reality is heavily flavored with his political commentary.

Trump's push to reopen churches is 'very political' | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Michael Ware says the reopening of churches has become a focal point in the United States as every state moves to ease lockdown restrictions. \n\nMr Ware told Sky News “here in America, religious freedom is enshrined in the constitution under the First Amendment and we all know the Americans don’t muck about in the expressions of their religious freedoms”. \n\nMr Ware said 1,200 pastors in California united in a vow to “defy the governor’s lockdown orders”. \n\n“We know that for every conservative politician religious freedom is canon but we now see that the president of the United States is taking a deeply religious issue and making it very political,' he said. \n\nPresident Trump argued “churches are not being treated with respect by a lot of the Democrat governors” and said they must be reopened as soon as possible. \n\nImage: AP Church is essential for many people

Restriction-easing will 'breathe life' into the NSW economy: Perrottet | Sky News AustraliaNew South Wales Treasurer Dominic Perrottet says the government's decision to ease coronavirus restrictions on NSW eateries from 10 patron limits to 50 was about 'keeping people in jobs and businesses in business'.\n\n'We want to breathe life into the NSW economy and life into our communities in the safest way possible.'\n\n'The catering, food and beverage industry provides an enormous part of the NSW economy - around 280,000 employees and around seven per cent of businesses supported on the JobKeeper program nationally.'\n\nDeputy Premier John Barilaro said the announcement would allow regional businesses to embrace - with the opening up of regional travel - the opportunity to 'fill their registers' into the June long weekend.\n\n'With the losses we've seen in employment, this is a sector that could quickly put jobs back into the economy,' he said.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n Dom_Perrottet GOOD LOGICAL CALL.

Dozens of refugees flown from Australia and PNG to US despite coronavirus travel bansDozens of refugees who have spent years in Australia’s offshore processing regime have been flown to the United States for resettlement, despite COVID-19 travel restrictions. ashame the burden is given to americans rather than doing the right thing and sending them back Wow! Way to rally - you guys are amazing On the one hand I'm glad they'll finally resume life as free men, on the other I worry the US will fail to provide them with a safety net. It is a sick country in more ways than just the pandemic. Add this failure to provide for these refugees to the list of our shameful actions.

State and territory leaders face mounting pressure to open borders | Sky News AustraliaStates and territories are being advised to review their border restrictions on a daily basis. \n\nAttorney General Christian Porter urged state and territory leaders to really consider whether they were prepared to miss out on Australia’s first wave of tourists since the outbreak of coronavirus. \n\nBorder rows heightened on Thursday, with Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk saying she would not “be lectured to” by New South Wales because it had more coronavirus cases than Qld. \n\nNSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian denied claims of bullying, telling Sky News her push to open state and territory borders was motivated by economic recovery. \n\n“Now our attention does have to focus on dealing with the economic consequences and I’d like us to continue working together,” she said. \n\n“We’re not always going to agree on everything, but… we should be able to express a view as leaders of our state and that’s all I was doing when I was asked the question. \n\n“If you’re talking about jobs, the economy and the wellbeing of our citizens I think those internal borders need to come down. \n\n“I think it’s in our nation’s economic interests.” \n\nQueensland authorities flagged they wanted to see four weeks of zero virus cases before reopening the state's border with New South Wales. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Just ban all flights from China How about they consider what right they have to lockdown their citizens for any longer than is absolutely necessary? With the first wave of tourists may come the second wave of corona, states are right to tread cautiously at present
