Former Immigration Minister Amanda Vanstone says Democratic candidate Pete Buttigieg is "young, refreshing and intelligent" and would prove to be a "real challenge" for US President Donald Trump at the upcoming 2020 presidential election.
Ms Vanstone told Sky News host Chris Kenny she believes Mr Buttigieg has "world experience," which could compensate for his lack of political experience. The former mayor of South Bend was a relative unknown 12 months ago but surged to become one of the frontrunners for the Democratic race, narrowly winning the Iowa caucus and coming a close second to Senator Sanders in the New Hampshire primary.
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump 🤣🤣🤣🤣 rubbish🤣🤣🤣🤣
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump Mayor Pete is now tanking in the polls. He has had his 15 minutes and his campaign will be ending soon. Good riddance
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump The man who can talk the leg off a chair but say nothing
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump Absolutely rubbish... Won’t even com fourth for DNC leadership
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump Anyone who sky likes is clearly not the correct option
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump Amanda, looks aren't everything
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump I don't think so Amanda
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump If trump doesn't drop the bar of soap he will be fine .
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump I'd read that as a detraction coming from a controversial former minister of immigration under whom I think was a seriously dishonest conservative P.M. And I vote Lib/NP. Challenge? Like a sparrow fart in the wind.
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump Amanda Vanstone is obviously out of touch with American politics if she thinks Pete is competition to Trump.
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump Bahahaha what a joke will win the biggest landslide in history and everyone knows it
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump Gosh he must be shit if she likes him
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump She's trying to be relevant. Pete's got no chance of winning the primaries let alone beating Trump.
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump except for the fact his health care plan is the worst, he has 0 support among POC, he is polling in the low teens and when polled head-to-head against his own primary contenders polls poorly and has to much baggage (firing black police chief, switches policies to suit donors etc)
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump Cruelty to animals yep he is just great .Amanda. No
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump What a stupid statement from Vanstone. Buttigieg has no hope of getting anywhere near President Trump. Trump will destroy his opposition and he will win in a landslide.
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump He isn’t and he won’t. Thanks Amanda.
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump Once bitten twice shy -- no way is America voting for another 'buttboi'
amandavanstone PeteButtigieg realDonaldTrump Amanda Ham-bone

‘Wariness’ over coronavirus threat shouldn’t be interpreted as ‘racism’ in Australia | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says there is a danger of sensationalising the coronavirus by media, pundits and politicians alike, who “instead of reporting the story, create the story”. \n\nMr Kenny said the coronavirus is an “epidemic [which] continues to be a fast-moving and dramatic story that is having an impact on this country and globally”. \n\nHe said while accurate and vigilant reporting of the virus is important, the media “need to be careful about creating panic and unnecessary alarm”. \n\n“Some politicians, activists and, it must be said, virtue-signalling journalists have been very eager to identify racism,” he said. \n\nIt comes as the Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy recently told Mr Kenny, “the reaction to the coronavirus had triggered racism in this country”.\n\nMr Kenny said “mainstream Australians” will take a “sensible” approach to this issue and the media shouldn’t misconstrue “wariness in society” over the virus as racism. \n\n“The danger in this situation is a familiar one: the media, instead of reporting the story, create the story, often on the back of anonymous social media reports, which in turn can be accepted as Gospel”. \n\nImage: Getty Help with treatment and immunization against the Coronavirus, (good for the face of God Almighty) _ putting the hand on the patient’s head and reading the verse of praise (the first verse in the Holy Qur’an), one condition faith in the words of God Almighty, not killing animals The Chinese government, lying, are not telling the truth. In China, more than a million people are infected with Corona virus, thousands of dead bodies in remote areas, it may spread in China epidemics, water pollution, cause infection to speed up, urgent measures must be taken, So like every story the MSM covers these days.

Axing of Holden is 'a day of great shame for Australia' | Sky News AustraliaSky News contributor Nicholas Reece says “I think it’s a day of great shame for Australia,” following Monday’s announcement General Motors will axe iconic brand Holden after 72 years of operation in the nation. \n\nGM International Operations Senior Vice President Julian Blissett released a statement explaining financial woes have led to the demise of Holden.\n\nThe shutdown is expected to cost at least 600 jobs as General Motors ceases making vehicles suitable for Australian roads. \n\nIt comes three years after local manufacturing ended when the Holden plant in Adelaide was closed. \n\n'It’s not just the end of a great Australian business but it’s the end of an era I think,' Mr Reece told Sky News host Peta Credlin. \n\nImage: Getty It was sad but inevitable. Ford wouldve gone the same way had it not come up with the ranger and fleet deals with the mondeo and fiesta/focus Thanks Joe! All Holden had to do was make a Car the us Aussies wanted to buy. Every business lives and dies by its bottom line. I liked the fact we tried to bale them out over many years. But the truth always catches up. GM never gave a shit about Australia. AND I just bought one, :(

China's ‘encroachment’ into the South-Pacific ‘could cost Australia in the future' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peter Gleeson says the Chinese government is “playing a long game” by investing in roads, airports, ports and agriculture within South-Pacific countries. \n\nMr Gleeson said he was “struck by the growing influence of the Chinese” following a recent trip he took to the small, South-Pacific country of Fiji. \n\nHe said Fiji is just one of many countries in the geographical area who have enjoyed Chinese investment “booms” in the last two-decades. \n\n“The Chinese are playing a long game, they are investing in roads, airports, ports and agriculture, it is transparent and growing.\n\n“The Chinese have made it increasingly clear that it wants economic and political influence in the Asia and South Pacific”. \n\nMr Gleeson said the Morrison government should “pump extra foreign aid” to nearby countries “so they know we are their closest allies”.\n\n'There’s a great deal at stake on all this, especially for future generations”. \n\nImage: Getty \n So, what is so wrong Chinese government promoting great infrastructure within South Pacific? Pacific Nations are independent Nations they can choose, unlikely days of Europeans colonization,Pacific Nations were enslaved. Chinese is doing great things for Pacific. It's already too late,you were back mid 2019 that chins is to become an isolated country all provinces included..this idealism dates back to the world factory days that once held in the Chinese hippo era!(1300's) & Africa...colonizatian via indebtedness...
