‘Zoomers’ want Sky News Australia ‘cancelled’ over Australia Day TikTokSky News host Paul Murray says “zoomers” appeared to hate Sky News Australia’s TikTok, slamming Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe’s Australia Day tweet, where she questioned who would be celebrating “invasion, murder and theft”. He said these people want Sky News Australia “cancelled”. “A website run by a bunch of middle-aged people pretending to be young, Pedestrian TV, decided to show the hate towards the one about Australia Day, in part because it was made by us here at Sky News,” he said. Becuase tik tok isn't your platform. You appeal to the older generation. Tik tok is for younger members of society, with totally different views to yours. Not sure why this is head scratching. You wouldn't like the place Paul, people are able to clap back at nonsense and the median age isn't 60 🙂 Low ratings don’t mean you’re cancelled. It’s just you put out a crap show.

Queensland MP calls for legislation to protect Australia DayQueensland MP Henry Pike has drafted new legislation that could protect Australia Day on January 26 in the same way as the Australian flag and Anzac Day. The proposal would enshrine January 26 as Australia Day which could only be changed by a national plebiscite. What a joke. This is completely unconnected to our history. Australia Day has changed dates regularly. This person obviously never reads Australian history. MaliciousIgnorance ..isn't 26 January just NSW Proclamation Day? Irrelevant to the rest of us AlwaysWasAlwaysWillBe. Righto, a date that means absolutely nothing to anyone living outside the eastern states, and arguably has nothing to do with Australia's identity at all.

AUKUS ‘more important’ to Australia than to the US or UKASPI Defence Strategist Michael Shoebridge says the AUKUS agreement is “more important” to Australia than the United States or the United Kingdom. “Neither of them can afford AUKUS being an Australian charity case, it has to help both the UK and US security,” Mr Shoebridge told Sky News host Steve Price. “The worst approach to AUKUS is seeing it as the Americans and the British helping us make our own cottage industry from producing just our own nuclear submarines.” 😅 Quoting ASPI Reliance on others for war and making pacts to save us isn't really good forward planning or allowing take overs and land buy ups . 🤔
