Coronavirus 'rate of infection in China may be starting to slow down' | Sky News AustraliaInfectious disease researcher at Griffith University Nigel McMillan says “in the eight weeks that we’ve known about this virus, we can see now a thousand deaths and more than 42,000 cases”. \n\nMr McMillan told Sky News “there is some hint that the rate of infection in China is starting to slow down, but I think the next two weeks is really going to tell us where we are going to go with this pandemic”.\n\n“There are a number of efforts going on to develop this, and this has to be produced - so the production of the vaccine is not trivial - and then tested,” he said.\n\n“We have to choose a candidate vaccine and these can be based on proteins. \n\n“We have to test them on animals to see that it works and that it actually protects, and then we have to test it on humans to see that it is actually safe.”\n\nImage: Getty no it is not slowing down

Malcolm Turnbull's observations are 'dripped with hypocrisy' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull “thought he was such a gift” to the Liberal Party, but in reality had “no policy instincts at all”.\n\nMr Jones said since Minister of Home Affairs Peter Dutton “made the first strike” against Mr Turnbull – for which “the party is grateful” – Turnbull has done “nothing but snipe from the sidelines”.\n\n“He was in Canberra yesterday, having another shot at the Morrison Government over coal fired power,” he said. \n\n“As with most things Turnbull these days, his observations dripped with hypocrisy”.\n\nImage: Getty he did gift them a couple of million “No policy instincts” or simply didn’t have the chops to convince a pack of Machiavellian outdated greed hungry knob jockeys that it actually was 2018 and to buy in on change now or soon be road kill in the near future?

Defence of climate change is 'uninformed, poorly researched, and factually incorrect' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host says every “utterance of Turnbull” these days “reeks with a revenge mentality against the party which rightly got rid of him”.\n\nAustralians should be “disturbed,” Mr Jones said, at the direction “in which this so-called climate debate is heading,” as the arguments in “defence of so-called climate change” are increasingly “uninformed, poorly researched and … factually incorrect”.\n\nMr Jones said the debate has “reached the point of hysteria,” he said, as climate change has been mentioned across the media “almost 900,000 times” according to fellow Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\n“This hysteria and new, phony religion, must be addressed and it must be beaten”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia I've got one word for you Sky News host: Abbott. Well said. They should get rid of him from the liberal party altogether And yet Malcolm looked very relaxed when he met with Morrison the other night. Morrison on the other hand...well, if I used the word defensive I’d be polite.

Australia is 'routinely slammed' for emissions reductions by the 'climate cult' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says the “one-sided climate protests” which predominantly target Australia and “Trump’s America”, show how the “climate cult is less about reducing emissions than affirming belief”.\n\nBoth Australia and the US have reduced the carbon emissions by “13 per cent since 2005,” a stark contrast to Canada led by the “ultra-woke” Justin Trudeau who have cut emissions by only two per cent in the same time.\n\nAlthough Australia is “routinely slammed” for reportedly “not doing enough”, it is “one of very few countries” who have reliably met its emissions targets, Ms Credlin said.\n\nThe “climate zealots”, said the Sky News host, believe meeting emissions reductions targets - “as Australia is doing' - is not “nearly as important” as proclaiming that “climate change is the world’s gravest problem”.\n\n“We shouldn't allow the climate zealots to misrepresent the facts because compromising our economic fundamentals to strike a pose overseas is a betrayal of our countries future security,” said Ms Credlin.\n\nImage: Getty\n So true credlin CREDLIN PULL YOUR HEAD IN Odd. I thought affirming Rupert's far right views is the only reason Sky News exists. Sometimes Peta, you just need to hold a mirror and take a good look auspol

High Court decision should have been 'put to the people in a referendum' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Legal Affairs editor Chris Merritt says Tuesday’s high court judgement that Aboriginal Australians cannot be deported even if they’re not Australian citizens has “elevated a racial distinction to a point of constitutional privilege”.\n\nThe government was seeking to deport Daniel Love and Brendan Thoms for serious crimes committed while in Australia.\n\nBoth men were born overseas with neither holding Australian citizenship, but they self-identified as Indigenous and argued they should not be considered aliens under immigration law. \n\nThe High Court ruled in their favour - declaring Aboriginal Australians have a 'special connection' to the country and can not be deported regardless of citizenship status.\n\nMr Merritt told Sky News host Peta Credlin the decision “would have never been accepted if it were put to the people in a referendum”.\n\n“It limits the ability of the federal government to protect Australians from foreign criminals,” he said.\n\nImage: Associated Press White guilt... Why is Josh Frydenberg still in parliament? He's a DUAL citizen. They were here 60,000 years ago, when did Chris Merritt arrive on the scene?
