MrsDzTB What a heartwarming gesture from the Muslim community to farmers in need. 💓💓

Good on ya!

Thoughts and prayers are good. This is better

Well done to the Muslim Community & thanks from everyone !

Yes far more productive then trying to force fast food chains to serve halal food.

No way Morrisons religious group would do this as they love keeping the donated money for themselves and only contribute a very very small fraction of it to people they can brainwash to join their cult. Muslims are known to help the needy & be quiet about doing it too.

Aussie Muslims 👍 Love finds a way.

What has religious ideology got to do with it?

Awesome.Bless them all.

Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. It’s only a fraction of the Halal Tax we pay.

ScottMorrisonMP M_McCormackMP LiberalAus once again a community group doing what you actually should be doing notice the farmers are not paying hint hint get on board

Damn those muslims and their humanitarian ways. Who'd have thought they're just humans who care...

macsween_prue The are Aussie’s

But they’re only doing it to assimilate into their new country.

This happened 2 weeks ago How fukin hard was it for the MurdochHacks_Pressitutes to acknowledge this ..

Well Done! We need more of this from Australia not racist and hateful speech against our fellow Australians!

Wonderful contribution.

So what? You don’t advertise any of the other religions of charities that have kindly donated. So they bloody should. They make enough out of the halal scam

Good. We have generously given an ENORMOUS amount to help the Muslim community in the past and present. It's lovely to see them giving back to a community that willing gave to them. THANK YOU who ever you are.

Are they going to run down the farmers in the trucks with the hay bales burning ? 🤔

Fantastic news. We need more of this. Well done to the Aussie Muslims 👍

Yet not a strand from nff

Aussies helping Aussies, that's what makes this country great.

At least they were smart enough to do this on their own... where has all the money gone that has been donated by the community at large over the past 12 months? Well done to all people involved

So you think those who've arranged the donations, and their family would be laughing right now? Oh so witty!

Right wing world's collide. The Muslim community doing more to help them than their right wing government. Who says Sky News doesn't have an ironic sense of humor

There’s a first!

Well done 💪... politicians plz pay attention

Sky New watchers.

now this is what you call real Muslims, real Australians, not the ones who don't assimilate

I hope they left some for their wives

Wonderful

Wonderful gesture

Labor's election review 'is and honest and fair reflection' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says to their credit, the Labor Party “has produced an election review that's honest, fair, and after today, public”. \n\nAn unpopular leader, weak strategy and a cluttered policy agenda were lethal to Labor's May 18 bid, a review into the party's election loss has found. \n\nThe much anticipated post-mortem, spearheaded by former cabinet minister Craig Emerson and former South Australian premier Jay Weatherill, handed down 60 findings and 26 recommendations to the national executive on Thursday.\n\nMs Credlin said the report didn't 'shy away” from “tackling” then-Labor leader Bill Shorten’s “unpopularity” head on. \n\n“The bigger problem for Labor was that its policies alienated large slabs of decent, ordinary people,” Ms Credlin said. \n\nThe “big question” to come of the report, Ms Credlin said, was whether the modern Labor Party is “capable of uniting around sensible, middle-of-the-road policies” in the future. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia I'm reluctant to give them that much credit. There was nothing honest or fair about this bloke. This was the guy they chose to lead their party. We should never allow people to forget how corrupt and dishonest he was to the Australian people and the Labor party spoon fed him all the way. Labor deserved the embarrassment. They still do today as they have learn’t NOTHING. pmlive credlin theboltreport

Govt has suffered 'reputational damage' from the Nationals | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rita Panahi believes the government’s most recent drought relief announcement will “go some way to hitting the mark”, but there is “a lot of reputational damage there from the Nationals”.\n\n“There are a lot of people in those communities who just don’t believe they are being represented as they should be, that they really feel the pain they are going through with this drought,” she said.\n\n“There are some very practical measures in this plan that I think will go some way into appeasing those people who quite rightly feel like they’ve been abandoned by the rest of the country at their time of need.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia
