Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says following the bushfires royal commission report released on Friday, the federal government will step up its powers to intervene when necessary.
“It’s my understanding a proposal to legislate, so the federal government can intervene during emergency responses will be before federal cabinet as early as Wednesday,” Mr Clennell said. “This is really what this royal commission was set up for, after a row between Scott Morrison and NSW authorities in January on when the Feds could get boots on the ground on the NSW south coast.

Palaszczuk has 'effectively killed Christmas' for hundreds of thousands of families | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Smith says Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has 'effectively just killed off Christmas for hundreds of thousands of families' as her state keeps the borders closed to Sydney.\n\nMr Smith said Australians have learned a lot during this pandemic, but most of all, that some state leaders will act in their own electoral interests before the interests of Australia.\n\n'The Qld Premier has given her Chief Health Officer Jeanette Young outright power to keep the border closed to five million Sydneysiders,' he said.\n\n'Again, no balancing the ledger between the real risk of virus spread and the $3 billion annual hit to the economy from stopping Sydneysiders spending in Qld.\n\n'And Anastasia Palaszczuk was not budging, and 'lock, stock and barrel' is code for the economy doesn't count; jobs and livelihoods don't rate.'\n\nMr Smith said it was not just unreasonable but unnecessary, hurtful and parochial, and totally out of whack with what the Chief Medical Team in Canberra recommended.\n\n'Sydney is not defined as a hotspot. Young has classified all of Sydney, all 32 local Government areas, as a hotspot despite only three local government areas dealing with clusters,' he said.\n\n'It's appalling judgement and hopeless leadership. Life is not risk-free. The future of this pandemic cannot be risk-free. \n\n'Each state and territory needs to share the wear, accept the risk, and allow their people to work and live.'\n\nWA Premier Mark McGowan today announced his state would be lifting its border restrictions to all states, including Victoria, from November 14, instead, introducing its own set of interstate protocols. Do you guys understand Christmas is in December? Its not even November yet MurdochRoyalCommision Always talks Covid deaths but just like the baby that died because it couldn’t get hospital care other people die from other things than Covid. And Sydney is closed to vic. Go figure you hypocrites

Sydney's NorthConnex tunnel to open Saturday morning | Sky News AustraliaThe long-awaited NorthConnex road will open tomorrow at 2am, allowing Sydney commuters to save 15 minutes each way. \n\nTrucks will no longer be permitted to use the heavily-congested Pennant Hills Road, which will remove about 5000 trucks from the road each day. \n\nNew South Wales Transport Minister Andrew Constance said 10 school communities over the NorthConnex tunnel would benefit from the change. \n\n“When you take the most hated road in Australia and its now going to become which is better for those communities with the NorthConnex tunnel underneath it,” he said. \n\nThe project created about 8700 jobs, which Premier Gladys Berejiklian said was a driving force through the pandemic.\n\nThe tunnel marks Australia’s deepest road tunnel at 90 metres below ground. \n\n 15 minutes that peanuts in Sydney traffic, doesn’t even make a dent WOW a billion dollar road to nowhere. 15 minutes and what’s the cost

Palaszczuk accepted chief health officer's advice 'lock, stock and barrel' | Sky News AustraliaPremier Annastacia Palaszczuk has fired up over questions about her decision to reopen Queensland’s borders to all of New South Wales, barring Greater Sydney. \n\nThe premier hit back at Sky News Political Reporter Jonathon Lea, saying “if you can be polite, if you can be respectful, that’s all I ask”. \n\n“Let me answer you this, there was one or two cases in Victoria, right, the virus got out of control and the whole state was locked down and we saw 700 deaths,” she said. \n\n“I do not want to see 700 deaths in Queensland. \n\n“I want a Queensland that is strong and a Queensland that is safe \n\n'You can't have a robust economy unless you have a strong health response.' \n\nMs Palaszczuk said she was provided with no other option by the chief health officer, 'and I accepted it lock, stock and barrel'.\n AnnastaciaMP So Janet Young doesn't need to go on the ballot, she runs the state vicariously through AnnastaciaMP AnnastaciaMP Once again, making sure it is known that it is someone else’s decision. A strong leader takes responsibility for all decisions from her team rather than publicly avoiding responsibility. AnnastaciaMP Fine, keep the borders closed. As a Victorian, when the borders do reopen, my tourist dollars are going elsewhere. auspol qldpol

D_LittleproudMP I suppose opening a draw, putting the report in and closing said draw is actually acting on it 🤷♂️ D_LittleproudMP Murderer
