drtahmed In the name of what science. I have not seen any scientific evidence of any kind being put forward by any government person. Please show the Australian public the science otherwise this is a Scamdemic of epic proportions and all politicians involved removed and deported to China.

drtahmed Dr Tanveer Ahmed. The Sydney Morning Herald, Guardian & Australian all dropped his columns because of plagiarism. But that doesn't matter to Sky News. Facts never do.

Gary_Hardgrave drtahmed Victoria is basically a detention centre ....

Gary_Hardgrave drtahmed Lockdown rules conveniently don't affect Dan much, as he has his wife and kids at home, is being more than well paid with a raise, and probably doesn't need to seek social comfort or travel to maintain hard assets ... we are NOT all in this together ...

drtahmed Wasnt the whole idea to flatten the curve and not elimination. Why are the borders closed then if that was the case

Media calls out Trump but doesn't fact check Biden’s ‘crazy ramblings’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says it's funny how the media love to call out Donald Trump yet never fact check the 'crazy ramblings' of Joe Biden as he and the Democrats continally blame the President for the pandemic, bushfires, hurricanes and floods. \n\nMr Kenny said in the US there is the “same alarmism over the same issues”. \n\nIt comes as Mr Biden recently labelled President Trump a “climate arsonist” as wildfires continue to burn across a number of US states. \n\nEscalating his attacks on the US President ahead of the November election, Mr Biden argued Mr Trump’s inaction on climate change is exacerbating the devastating fires raging in America's west.\n\n“How many suburban neighbourhoods will have been flooded out? How many suburbs will have been blown away in superstorms? If you give a climate arsonist four more years in the White House, why would anyone be surprised if we have more of America ablaze?” Mr Biden said during a stop in Delaware on Tuesday (AEST).\n\n“Funny how the media love to call out Trump exaggerations, often fair enough, but never fact check those sorts of crazy ramblings from Joe Biden,” Mr Kenny said. \n\n realDonaldTrump JoeBiden Funny how the insane person gets called out. realDonaldTrump JoeBiden It's also funny how you always talk negative about JoeBiden whilst you kiss the ground realDonaldTrump walks on realDonaldTrump JoeBiden Not crazy. President Trump is part of the problem rather than the solution to those things. Lacks basic Leadership skills.
