Labor MPs have raised concerns about Senator Kristina Keneally's handling of the Home Affairs portfolio, accusing her of unilaterally breaking bipartisan conventions on national security. The government claims it had an agreement with the opposition to pass a bill, designed to give police greater powers to stop travelers at airports. But Senator Keneally blindsided her colleagues when she supported an amendment to see the powers expire after four years.

She is the best advertising the LNP could ever get and its free.

She's Brilliant.

Yes she,s a Dope

RussConnor3 She’s starting to look and sound rattled

RussConnor3 The cracks are starting to show

Name them. Otherwise shut up with your propaganda. I won’t even RT your clap.

And this is why Tanya got out. I get it now. The boy's club is back

Don’t you dare go after KKeneally she’s the only real opposition to this nightmare government we have right now

Coming up now....the Murdoch attack on Kristina Keneally?

KK is doing a great job . She’s got the government and the Wingnut commentators furious. That will do me .

Really? Name said ministers! KKeneally

Her high profile again this incompetent government supported by all is what sky is trying to say That and the flood of fly in refugees this government missed

Hahahahaha. You wish!

She is AustralianLabor 's best asset. Talentless hacks offended by her skills nous determination ?

Seems have been directed by the brainless, talentless, personality free Dutton to open up on KKeneally on his behalf. He’s not up to it He’s scared to death of her auspol

Names?

Well get rid of her, if she can’t stick to the Bipartisan rules, flick her. She is making so much noise, she thinks she can somehow lead Labor I think KKeneally

FFS, the LNP threw out bipartisanship when Abbott won Gov, and have continued to be Hacks, quacks and snakeoil salesmen/women

This is utter bullshit The gutter press where the truth goes to die

FakeNews

I seriously doubt it

When other Labor MP's put in 10% of what KK does...then they can 'raise concerns' of her handling of anything...keep up the fight Kristina...the other Labor MP's will catch up ....at some point

What a lot of pure Shit

If you don’t quote your sources then this is another opinion piece dressed up as fact

They scared of a powerful woman. KKeneally & SenatorWong are the future of the ALP & Aust.

Riiiiight.... KK has broken bipartisan conventions of national security but when PeterDutton_MP walks into parliament waving about dirt files on opposition members asking questions about his departmental head, that’s completely cool... Pull the other one, Sky.

A review of these extended police powers, after four years, is a sober conservative measure. The point in a democracy is to be extremely cautious about extending police powers. KKeneally has acted wisely.

Whoopee fckin do.

A government concerned about national security, wouldn’t privatise the visa system, approve any sale or lease or ports and airports. But letting in people who pass all security checks so they can have medical treatment?!? Not a National Security issue. SaveMedevac

Name them Or it’s just sky gossip

Cowards

Good to see someone - anyone - in the ALP concerned about police state legislation. Usually they just wave it thru with an 'anything else you want while we're at it, masta.'

Murdoch lies and propaganda, duly ignored.

Sky news where truth is non existent

Hmmm sky news = bullshit.

it's like facts just don't matter to you lot...

Murdoch crap again

KKeneally must be scoring points against the LNPFAIL IPAFUCKWITS to be targeted sky.

You lost me at Sky News.

i doubt it very much

GTFOOH. The party breaking bipartisan conventions ain't the ALP.

Oh please. Back in your hysterical box.

That hard line left attitude is the reason why you keep losing, labor just don’t learn

'Tell me lies, tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies' . Pony up the proof or shut up.

Sky making stuff up again for a narrative....you can tell when someone is pushing the right buttons when Sky start a smear campaign.

Oh come on. Seriously. Does anyone really believe anything Sky News reports these days? No real balanced journalism to see here. No integrity. Just fake story telling. Must be soul destroying to work there.

The opposition should be holding government to account on national security. Blind bipartisanship is not healthy.

There are no details beyond vague hearsay in this.

Keep going KKeneally !!!!

This reeks of bullshit!

Whatever she is doing it's rattling the ToxicPotato & the Fuckwits at Keep it up Kristina your pressure on Dutton might be enough to give him a Heart Attack & force his resignation AusPol

No AustralianLabor MPs mentioned, which is standard bullshit by Sky. What the headline should say is, 'Labor MP's amazed that KKeneally is their only party member doing her job'. auspol

Sky news !!! Shit

Partisan factions within law enforcement, security & intelligence, that's the most dangerous. The 'bipartisan conventions' is foreign interests dictating to Australia. Labor should resist. KKeneally 👍

Severely out of her depth, clueless.

To make progress as in getting people on board, you have to make the logical call. Get rid of the poison. She is a serious Bimbo. She has to go!

Get used to it people, KK’s going to cost labor the next election as well... Her form is shocking...

Lols. 💤 yawn.

Liberal propaganda network smokin smirkoffs stash bullshit

She’s the gift that keeps on giving

Remind me. Wasn't she a massive failure as NSW Premier? Why is anyone surprised?

MarianSmedley Cos bipartisanship on the AA Bill was a fucking masterstroke?

No one in the Labour Party has the guts to put her down cause she’ll call the misogyny card, forever the victim like Peggy Wong

Kick her out. She is BAD for our country.

She was a terrible premier and she is even worse now. She is just a politicsl hack who has no idea and is a great advertisement for why the LNP should be re-elected. GO KRISTINA GO.

They're definitely banging

She had her own agenda

nyunggai She is a fewl

A typical day at Sky: - Crap on Labor - Ignore animal cruelty 'drama' from 'moaners' - Moan about millennials ruining something else

Arguably worst politician in Australia. Apologies to Daniel Andrews

She is a joke!

It’s getting hot in there?

nobody could be surprised by this egomaniac’s loose cannon behaviour 😳😳😳 she has never succeeded at anything she’s been handed ...

Good on KK. She knows it's all propaganda that Dutton has fuelled along with the trolling grunts who follow Dutton.

Yay! Another beat-up by the Liberal Party media outlets.

Absolute nonsense. Labor needs to push back far harder to the LNP’s agenda of creeping authoritarianism. They’re still backing down on too much.

What, some in Labor awake to KK?

She is telling anyone who will listen that she has the backing of the party ... is she lying or are the party hacks bagging her lying ... sounds like the unity had been lost

Self interest self promotion is KK only interest

When she gets dumped for incompetence will Sky have her back..hopefully not

Albo's lack of leadership ability is really being shown up at the moment & some of his colleagues are doing their best to undermine him.

nyunggai What has become of the ALP? A shadow of the 80s/90s. And that's being kind. Just sad. 2022 'gone', 2025 'looking shaky'.

A name or two would be nice. Or is this like that time you had a black friend so couldn’t possibly be racist?

The men are out in force - here is a woman to harass on line.

nyunggai She wrecks everything she touches...a living example of the stupidity of gender quotas.

nyunggai Sack her

KK can only snap snap snap ... she’s the gift that keeps on giving for the LNP

There are reports Labor MPs...well name them, come on dare you!

Amateur hour with KK and Co.

Absolute goose

She is just following sam dastardly lead.. He sided with china against our nation so she sides with illegal migrants against our nation

Security risk 101 👎

Rubbish ,,,its sky 😂😂😂

Turned far left Ilhan Omar radical

StayTrueBlue If she has broken Nat Security when our nation is at a war footing with troops deployed in many arenas That is treason

StayTrueBlue As if she is experienced in anything let alone home affairs The only job she's good at is screwing Australian freedom and screwing her mates to get the job done

About time someone in labor showed some backbone and stood up to this authoritarian government. This government has eroded many of our liberties in the name of national security .

KKeneally is way above her pay rate. Hand must shake every week

KK can’t handle any portfolio. She’s the best thing that ever happened to the coalition.

True to form for this excuse of a politician and the Labour Party, no change, no idea, no concept whatsoever 😰

She was hopeless as nsw premier.. She is so inept so bad she had to be given a job as premier.. Had to be given job as senator and front bench seat in senate over others

Loving that the media don’t know Labor’s position on anything. Now let’s focus on the government

These 'bipartisan conventions' have allowed Labor to wave through some of the most egregious and damaging national security laws. auspol

Good to see Labor colleagues calling out Keneally for her political freelancing in these vital policy areas for our nation.

Parachuted in. Parachute her out minus the rip chord.

At least Kristina Keneally is showing a bit of fight. The rest of Labor is lying down.

Says Kroger ....same Kroger who did so much damage to the Liberal brand he was asked to step down

What a joke the Liberal liars at sky are....Keneally is being sensible to review in 4 yrs.... that is not a threat to national security.

KK'S trying yo undermine AlboMP

Twitter loving KK is what the doctor ordered for another stinging Labor loss in 2022 - Throw Albo in the mix . Going Going GONE Auspol

She’s a clown.

Time to kick the yank out 🤮

KKeneally is ovulating on telling the women journalist PeterDutton_MP has a 'thing' for her. I would of thought she was past the menopause age.

Go hard KKeneally

Krispy Kreme KKeneally helped ruin NSW and got the boot - she's now doing it Federally. Time Albo AlboMP got the message - she's a lightweight who causes more damage than good mate !

What a joke she has become!

Time to wave bye bye

KK and Penny Wong to run the country please. Have at me with your non-sexist arguments-I’m waiting.

Is she on the Government benches? 😆 😆 Means little National debt doubled since 2013 Economy is so weak Offical rates are the lowest they’ve ever been - much lower than they were through the GFC These are serious issues auspol

she only got put up as a labor candidate because 1 woman 2 looks

Anthony Albanese told us lies, Remember 2013 Anthony Albanese said ' If you come to Australia by boat without a visa, you will NOT be settled in Australia Today Labor and the Greens would scrap fast -tracked processing of illegal maritime arrivals if elected to keep them in Aust

Fail upwards, fail often.

Has Saint Kristina announced her Pronoun preferences?...I think the Labor MP’s that have failed to recognise KK’s wisdom may have been misgendering & they should be reported to the UNHRC.

Quota girl at her finest again. Quotas work so well don’t they🙄

Oh yeah, sure. Can you now publish the proof?

Is anybody actually surprised? I mean she is the least qualified person in Labor to be commenting on immigration! Their are others in the party who have experience and are more qualified to handle the position. I think it reflects poorly on Albanese's leadership ability.

why do we have a bloody Canadian lecturing us on immigration

The Viper has just bitten herself!

Seems that the 'silent' ALP members don't like to rock the boat... Certainly from the public perspective KK is seen to be the face of the ALP & the only one doing/saying anything Love Albo but not as potential PM

As opposed to this clutz of a human unbeing.

She’s doing excellent stop bullshiting Sky News. Tell your boss Rupe to go jump. Dutton is the dud

Who appointed her?

What a nonsense article! This was only written because the PM in the house of reps implied it.

Labor party are fools.

Don’t you just love it when they start eating their own?

Kristina should be opposition leader .

Does kk know how many terrorists she intends to being into Australia .

In actual news:

When you have self indulgent two bit American in the portfolio-suffer

Anything KK gets involved in turns to shit! Her past record speaks for itself!!

a failed state premier says it all. NSW voters gave her govt a resounding boot. Looking to the top job when Albo falls over with the current labor direction. Watch for the move to the lower house this term. Another gender over merit appointment, when will labor learn.

'It' most have a lot of dirt on AlboMP billshortenmp and many others in the crooked party.

Keep breaking it KKeneally ! Go. Hard. Please keep on. Re-find the humanity please.

Koo Koo Kineally & Relevance Deprivation Syndrome

She is terrible

And the downfall starts for KK time is up , she had a good run for a incompetent politician 😉

This is the real problem. Now he is getting his minions in the Murdoch media to fight his battles. He can’t even run his department.

An unhinged unqualified leftard yank talking about security for Australians...It’s gotta go. Over to you AlboMP

Oh my golly gosh. You’re a naughty girl Kristina

The kill Keneally move has gone up a notch. Is Dutton getting a little concerned is he

She’s a fool and is power hungry.

For the Left will always eat itself.

KK has become a loose cannon and needs to be fired.

Which Labor MPs?

When your promoted for reasons other than talent...

Her n Albo...re-electing ScoMo next election

The problem today is that stupid people have all the confidence and the intelligent are full of doubt.

Dunno what the hell you were expecting Labor. True to form, total cluster fluff

Ok. But I’d like to know she thought the law should expire after 4 years? Aside from breaking party trust, that doesn’t make any sense.

AustralianLabor has become unelectable due to the likes of KKeneally and Mark_Butler_MP. Politics requires realists and not idealists.

She's acting just as one would expect a Soros puppet to act. Follow the money.

Appointed, not elected

As things stand .KKeneally and SenatorWong are the only Opposition Australia has. auspol abcnews

With Keneally it's all about U. Unrealistic, Unrepresentative, Unpopular, Unelected, Unhinged. auspol

Loose cannon , Labor could lose votes as a result.

She’s not fit for parliament. She proved it in state politics in NSW.

Oh so now they realise this twit is a liability. Labor really are a party of fools.

Maybe Keneally is just being too truthful about Labor sentiment - we all saw what happened when Labor promised/pretended bipartisanship on border protection before 👎 ......that’s probably what Labor are REALLY ‘concerned’ about.

Oops - bit late now 👎😡

Imagine if Labor were in Government and she was responsible for national security policy. My God.

Send that traitor back to where she came from.

I call bullshit.
