Former Labor minister Stephen Conroy says Queensland Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington has “trainwrecked” her campaign by heeding suggestions of the media and calling for borders to reopen. “At a time like this the public wants solutions, they don’t want grandstanding politicians scoring points,” he said.
Mr Conroy said he would urge state oppositions not to take the advice from “Sydney-based media people”. “This trainwreck that has been caused by the Queensland opposition leader to her own chances in a Queensland election by following the Sydney media demanding the borders be opened,” he told Sky News. He also pointed to Western Australia Opposition Leader Liza Harvey who railed against the Labor government’s hard border closure. “She was going to lose her job”.

Australia needs Trump to win the election because 'we cannot face China alone' | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator James McGrath says Australia needs President Donald Trump to win the upcoming presidential election to help it stand up to China. \n\nMr McGrath said China was the “greatest threat to the rules-based order the world is seeing at the moment.”\n\nPresident Trump would be better at dealing with China than presidential candidate Joe Biden because he knows “when you deal with bullies … you don’t give them shoulder massages, you’ve got to stand up to them.” Mr McGrath told Sky news. \n\n“Biden isn’t a foreign affairs hawk, he’s like a foreign affairs budgerigar”\n\nMr McGrath said Australia needed to ensure there was a 'coalition of the willing” standing against China and required the help of a strong president in the White House. \n\nImage: Getty realDonaldTrump I agree. I’m not a fan of Trump. But Biden is a puppet of China when he was VP. He agrees with China and not intend to make China accountable and eventually national security will be at risk. JoeBiden realDonaldTrump lol. What a moron realDonaldTrump Why he would keep standing against C after the election?
