Sky News host Paul Murray says there is more "bad news" about the coronavirus, this time relating to the cancellation of Anzac Day services and comments made by former prime minister Kevin Rudd. Mr Rudd recently penned an article criticising the government's response to coronavirus and Mr Morrison's apparent 'go late' measures.
The former Labor leader also made reference of the government acting in 'half-measures' and 'going to Hillsong,' instead of addressing the issue. Mr Murray said those on the left are trying to make out that Prime Minister Scott Morrison "is a crazy Christian". "The idea of sniping ... for the sake of doing it, diminishes any figure who does so," Mr Murray said.
The Corona virus is just more right wing made up BS like terrorists and WMDs in Iraq. It's no more deadly than a flu outbreak old people die there also. Bet on it some right wing fat cats are making heaps of money from this hysteria
Kevin who?
K Rudd irrelevant flog, that's all I got.
Kevin Rudd is a political Dudd a international embarrassment and beta male who acts like a Chinese employee paid to sabotage Australia .
Murray nothing but a Morrison groupie, the man love he has is just plain weird as.
cmon paul, surely even you could agree morrison has totally made a dogs breakfast of all this, why did he have to wait till after the hillsong conference to bring in crowd number limits? he also could of stopped people from overseas a lot sooner
They're all having a grand sook about it. That's how you know it stung and what he said will come to light in how their response starts collapsing. They'll be crying about Kev's column all week. (Which you can by the way read here)
Try and report on this psycho without a pic in future please Sky
I'm really considering on unfollowing SkyNews...

PM must follow NZ and 'go harder on borders' | Sky News AustraliaThe government should follow the direction of New Zealand and move to “go harder on borders” following the meeting of today’s National Cabinet, Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says. \n\nNew Zealand on Sunday announced every person entering the country would be required to enter self-isolation for a period of 14 days, to prevent the further spread of COVID-19. \n\nMr Clennell said Australia should be adopting “travel bans or forced isolation” of people from today. \n\n“If we are really going to stop the spread of this thing … (Scott Morrison) has got to go harder on borders, and he’s got to do it today,” he said.\n \nIt's amid concerns an announcement of extended social distancing measures could put a further strain on the economy.\n\nBut Mr Clennell said it's expected the government will include another 'sizeable' stimulus package in the May Budget. \n\n“All the assessments I’ll make at the moment from the people I talk to, the May budget we are going to get more stimulus, and it’s going to be sizeable again. We are going to get deficits out into the future,” he said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia aclennell closechoolsnow covid19australia coronavirus aclennell And reduce our refugee intake to NZ levels? aclennell Media have become experts on Covid19 now.

PM self-isolating would be ‘an important test of leadership’: Kerryn Phelps | Sky News AustraliaFormer president of the Australian Medical Association and former Independent MP Dr Kerryn Phelps says the government will have to “look at the closure of schools and the closure of universities for several weeks”.\n\nDr Phelps said any decision regarding the closure of Australia’s education institutions will be “a difficult decision” and one which will be difficult to justify.\n\nSpeaking about the government’s response to the growing coronavirus crisis, Dr Phelps said the prime minister’s announcement on Sunday was “very light on”.\n\n“There’s a lot that hasn’t been making sense and people have been confused,” Dr Phelps said.\n\nDr Phelps also said after Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton tested positive for COVID-19, it would be “an important show of leadership and role modelling” for Prime Minister Scott Morrison to test for the virus and subsequently self-isolate.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia As if she’d know ..... really ! How about leaving it to the chief medical officer Kerryn? Get behind the experts rather finding a way to stay media relevant. Give it a break. Bad idea at this stage

PM flags 'significant' restritions on aged care visits to protect the vulnerable | Sky News AustraliaScott Morrison has flagged further restrictions to protect Australia's aging population amid the COVID-19 outbreak. \n\nThe prime minister told Sky News the government considered restricting visitation to aged care facilities, with advice expected to be given to the national cabinet on Tuesday. \n\nMr Morrison referred to the death of his own father over the summer period, saying the issue needed to be handled with “sensitivity”. \n\n“People can expect to see a fairly significant restriction on visitation to people in nursing homes,” he said. \n\n“Now I understand, I went through this with my own family over the summer, when you have elderly relatives who are in nursing homes you obviously want to see them, it may be the last time you do get to see them, and that was certainly the case in my family’s experience. \n\n“And so that needs to be done sensitively and it will be done sensitively but we need to lessen the broader risk to the people in those facilities.”\n ScottMorrisonMP Just ban ALL visitors to ALL hospitals. Enough with being more concerned with being 'sensitive' than with people's health. This is a health emergency FFS! ScottMorrisonMP Foreshadowing further restrictions without any detail can only add to existing panic. I assume that is not part of the plan? WhatGooseIsAdvisingThePM? ScottMorrisonMP

Australia could be placed into lockdown due to COVID-19 | Sky News AustraliaAustralian cities could be placed into lockdown as authorities continue attempts to stop the spread of the coronavirus.\n\nA ban on large public gatherings will commence on Monday as schools across the country prepare for the possibility they too could be shut down. \n\nSome schools in Australia are taking matters into their own hands and planning to teach their students remotely, and Health Minister Greg Hunt said a formal directive on closing schools is an option that may be considered down the track. \n \n'When we are looking forward over the course of the next six months we are, rightly, keeping all options on the table,' he said. \n\n\n If Wynyard is in lockdown. Does that mean I get stay while I get paid ? “Down the track”...”six months”? Does he think we have that long?
