Sky News host Amanda Stoker says Queensland’s health system “has reached a crisis point” with the removal of maternity wards and post-natal care services in a number of regional areas.

Ms Stoker said the state government is saying “they don’t think your community is worth it” when they pull these services from communities such as Gladstone, which has 65,000 people and 600 births a year.

“Women in these districts are now faced with the very real prospect of giving birth by the side of the road – or having to move from home into a city like Rockhampton in the final weeks before the due date.”

The ‘bulk of the media’ gave Albanese a ‘pass’ on AO attendanceThe bulk of the media has given Prime Minister Anthony Albanese a “pass” on his Australian Open attendance amid the Alice Springs crime crisis, says Sky News host Rita Panahi. “The media reaction has been quite astonishing to see,” she said. “We saw the meltdown when ScoMo spent a week with his family in Hawaii when we had the bushfires happening. “Here we have a crisis that is actually of government policy – this is territory and federal-level Labor policy that has helped see this mayhem in the NT.” Well it wasn't on fire & he was an awful lot closer than Hawaii.😏 Panahi.. Irrelevant, ignorant, idiotic banshee! 360 views for ‘real’ SkyNews (loopy Rita) vs 3700 for a parody site! 🤣🤣🤣 SkyNews is literally a laughing stock 🤣🤣

Alice Springs residents ‘leaving in droves’ because they ‘no longer feel safe’Residents in the town of Alice Springs are leaving in droves because they no longer feel safe amid the high rate of crime, according to Alice Springs Mayor Matt Paterson. Mr Paterson said the community wasn’t ready for the alcohol ban to be lifted. “We need to go and introduce alcohol management plan straight away, and we also need more resources such as police and health workers in hospital,” he told Sky News Australia. “When I say people are leaving in droves, they are also police and health. “Those two services are completely under-resourced, so if something does continue to go wrong, then you know who knows what will happen.” Where are you Albo? Buggered and need a break? Labor wont help. Good on you Albo! Labor fiddles while Alice burns

2022 ‘wasn’t a great year for investors’J.P. Morgan Global Market Strategist Kerry Craig says 2022 wasn’t “a great year for investors”. “We had central banks that were aggressively increasing interest rates to fight inflation that was at multi-decade highs, we had still a China that was in lockdown and pandemics,” he told Sky News Business Reporter Edward Boyd. “None of that really fit into the narrative of thinking around good investment opportunities. “We saw equities really fall quite dramatically in a historical context.” BREAKING: water is wet Imagine 2023 🤔🤔🤔🤔

RBA Governor made a ‘mistake’ which ‘hurt’ aspirational AustraliansRBA Governor Philip Lower made a mistake when he said interest rates would remain at historic lows until at least 2024, which “hurt” aspirational Australians, according to LNP MP Garth Hamilton. “But the person who’s going to decide whether the Governor stays on or not is the Treasurer,” he told Sky News host Amanda Stoker. “And, quite frankly, I don’t think the Treasurer really cares that much that the Governor hurt aspirational Australians.” Mr Hamilton said there was a lot of “hubris” in Treasurer Jim Chalmers’ essay but “not much there to inspire” aspirational Australians who want to get into the property market. How he has remained in charge is bewildering. The RBA gov did NOT that. How about fact checking what he said? Said most caught crooks, financial embezzlers, and uni bombers - 'I made a mistake' !

Djokovic must have put in a ‘seriously impressive effort’ for his AO campaignTennis star Novak Djokovic must have put in a 'seriously impressive effort' throughout his Australian Open campaign, says Kieser Australia Director Tim Dettmann. “If he got through and won the Australian Open with a three-centimetre tear in his hamstring, that is a seriously impressive effort,” Mr Dettmann told Sky News Australia. “He deserves that title as one of the greatest of all time.” 3cm tear .. should have won both AO and OA 😂 He didn't get the jab.. Why hasn't he died? Unjabbed, somehow miraculously still alive and wins Australian open....
