Australian charities are set to lose tens of millions of dollars as they are forced to cancel fundraising events because of the coronavirus pandemic.

My Room Children’s Cancer Charity CEO Margaret Zita told Sky News how "difficult” its been for the families and children in the hospitals. “They can’t even see their own siblings and extended families,” Ms Zita said.

“It’s extremely difficult, it’s gut-wrenching to see the effect of what this pandemic is doing across all charities, especially ones like My Room. “We really, really need those funds coming in to continue the amazing work we are doing.”

Biden, Trump 'bashing each other' with 'duelling narratives' on China | Sky News AustraliaNew polling results released in the United States last week indicated the relationship with China was a top concern for voters heading into the November presidential election with preference given to Joe Biden’s approach to the economic superpower. \n\nUS Studies Centre Senior Fellow Charles Edel told Sky News more than half of Americans adopted “hardening attitudes” toward China and more than 60 per cent believed the US should take steps in response to China’s handling of the coronavirus and foreign trade. \n\n“China has become the major and probably only foreign policy issue that seems to be captivating the candidates as they both try to bash each other as being weak on China,” he said. \n\n“The angle that you’re seeing is that Trump can lay credit to presiding over the largest shift in US-China policy in the last four decades.” \n\nMr Edel said Mr Biden however was pushing the narrative that the President “vacillated pretty wildly on China”. \n\nHe said while the “duelling narratives” were both true, new statistics showed more Americans were in favour of Mr Biden’s “competitive” approach to a relationship with China, rather Mr Trump’s combative stance. \n\n“Trump has really presided over the largest shift in American policy but it's whether or not people think that that shift has been favourable to the US and its allies and it seems that by all metrics that we’re seeing the answer seems to be no to this point,” Mr Edel said. \n\n“Being more competitive, more useful investments both at home and abroad from a technological perspective, working with allies is the narrative Biden will put out about he plans to compete effectively against China.” \n\n\n JoeBiden Lol... fake polls. Biden is owned by china. Got 1 billion for Hunter Biden! Pay for play!!! JoeBiden Not sure how accurate that info is, when most people are I’ve seen commenting and other polls show people are fed up with China and agree with POTUS policies relating to China. Very strange 🤨 JoeBiden
