Australia should be condemning China’s 'barbaric’ practice of forced organ harvesting | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Eric Abetz says Australia should be condemning China’s 'barbaric’ practice of forced organ harvesting. \n\nMr Abetz told Sky News it is a matter of “genuine concern” because people are in fact 'being killed as part of this forced organ harvesting”. \n\n“We in Australia need to tread exceptionally carefully as we deal with young Chinese people to be medically trained for organ transplanting that we don’t unwittingly become involved in facilitating this barbaric practice that goes on in China,” Mr Abetz said on Wednesday. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia Keep attacking China our major trading partner responsible for most of our countries GDP....

Defamation laws to be overhauled in Australia | Sky News AustraliaDefamation laws in Australia could be overhauled under a new proposal drafted by New South Wales and backed by the federal government. \n\nThe new scheme would make it harder to make a claim, aiming to bring Australia in line with other western democracies and protect free speech. \n\nBacking the overhaul, Attorney-General Christian Porter said defamation laws no longer balanced public interest journalism and the need to protect individuals from harm to their reputation. \n\nMr Porter also supported a defamation crackdown on social media platforms. \n\nImage: Getty To benefit the wealthy no doubt. Freedom of speech...only for the wealthy. Good news? Concerning freedom of speech vs litigious control of how people speak about you? Coming out of NSW no less? Noice.

Australia 'should not take' jihadi foreign fighters back | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Campbell Newman says “we shouldn’t take them back”, commenting on a newly-released report into Australia’s ‘jihadi’ foreign fighters. \n\nIt comes after a paper released by the Lowy Institute presented an analysis of 173 Australians it had classed as ‘jihadis’.\n\nThe paper entitled “Typology of Terror” also gave an assessment of the 105 people who had left Australia in order to either live or fight in the ISIS ‘Caliphate’. \n\nMr Newman said the report “presents some really solid evidence about how misguided it would be to take these people back”. \n\n“The government made it very clear at the time that they were committing an offence just by going and participating, let alone what they got up to,' he told Sky News host Peta Credlin.\n\nMr Newman said he did “have an element of sympathy for young women” who may have been “sucked in” to travelling overseas for extremist purposes. \n KK wants them back, she said Morrison and Dutton don't want them here because they are ....'Brown People' They're Australian citizens. Take them back. Put them in detention. Put them on trial. Then whatever the judge decides so be it. (Certainly don't penalize their kids bc their parent(s) are nitwits... bring the kids back, make the parent's families responsible for them.) And yet if you believe the media it is the people of the right of politics who are the problem... the bad guys

Jetstar pilots threaten strike action over Christmas | Sky News AustraliaMore than 1,000 Jetstar pilots could walk off the job before Christmas after relations soured over a new workplace agreement. \n\nThe Fair Work Commission rubber stamped plans by the pilot's union to hold a vote on taking protected industrial action against the company. \n\nThe ballot isn't expected to be finalised and approved for at least another three weeks, meaning any proposed action would not commence until mid-December at the earliest. \n\n Alan Joyce getting $25 million a year is obscene and QANTAS not paying company tax for over 10 years while making hundreds of millions profits is unbelievable. An indication of how bad tax loop holes are for corporates and multinationals. Pilots get your share. Come now, no need to fly off the handle.
