Sky News host Peta Credlin says people in Queensland should be concerned about the Labor government’s lack of transparency regarding the state’s budget, because they would have “spent like drunken sailors”.

It comes as the Queensland Labor government have not yet handed down the state budget, despite the election being just weeks away. “When have we had an election where there has been no fiscal reckoning,” Ms Credlin told Sky News host Peter Gleeson.

Ms Credlin said if the Commonwealth is now “trillions of dollars in debt” and “$214 billion down in terms of the deficit, God help us in Queensland”. “These guys would have spent like drunken sailors thinking they wouldn’t have any reckoning on any of this, no transparency until the other side of the election and that’s exactly what they’ve engineered,” she said.

Blind Freddy can see that QLDLabor under the leadership of AnnastaciaMP have been spending like drunken sailors, but unfortunately for NO long-term gains. Fattening up the QLD Public Service with more unproductive jobs is NOT delivering real jobs, just jobs for the Labor.

How can anyone hour for QLDLabor when they won’t present the budget.

Yep the old Bill Shorten line....don’t worry about the figures just trust us. NO WAY...... QUEENSLANDERS DESERVE TO KNOW THE STATES ECONOMY BEFORE THE ELECTION.

Boycott propaganda and demand that governments and media outlets tellthetruth about the climate and ecological emergency

The last time you 'advised' anyone about 'drunken sailors' ...turned out the one who repeated it looked like a clown. Peta, that's why you are flying a desk at sky now. Fact check: Tony Abbott's claim Labor spent like 'drunken sailors' in office is spin

Yeah! Don't think so Heŕm

President Trump seems to be 'irrepressible, no matter what they hurl at him' | Sky News AustraliaNSW One Nation leader Mark Latham says he thinks Trump will get a lot of sympathy from Middle America for being unwell with COVID.\n\nPresident Donald Trump, and First Lady Melania Trump were diagnosed with the virus on Friday after coming into contact with aide Hope Hicks who had earlier tested positive.\n\n“Not everyone is Trump deranged, it’s sort of a disease of the Left,' he said.\n\n“In Middle America, you’d be expecting they’d rally around their president.”\n\nMr Latham said the president, “in typical Trump style,” was already declaring himself an expert on the virus and added, “next he’ll be saying he was so strong he beat the virus”. \n\n“He seems to be irrepressible in every single circumstance, no matter what they hurl at him.”\n\nMr Latham said a lot was now hinging on the second and third debates. \n realDonaldTrump Trump is the best POTUS ever x 1000000000 x million miles!!!! realDonaldTrump The US needs you more than ever Mr President!!!! realDonaldTrump

President Trump's improving health suggests 'the virus is now one we can handle' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says if President Trump is truly recovering from COVID, people should have hope that “this virus is now one we can handle”.\n\nMr Bolt said the US president contracting the virus would hurt his campaign, considering he has played down the pandemic and only last week mocked Joe Biden for wearing a face mask everywhere.\n\nHe added, however, there were two aspects of Trump’s COVID case which should reassure Australians. \n\nThe first, the virus was likely caught by the president in the map room of the White House, not at the confirmation ceremony in celebration of Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination. \n\nMr Bolt said the media has been wanting to blame Amy Coney Barrett’s nomination ceremony because it “fits their agenda”. \n\n“Makes Trump look reckless; makes Barrett look shifty; and makes the virus seem so dangerous that wearing face masks even outside is a must,” he said. \n\nHe said COVID was almost entirely an indoor disease. \n\n“That's where it tends to spread, and the most likely place that Trump caught or spread the virus was in the map room of the White House, just off Trump's office, where Trump and key advisors rehearsed from Saturday a week ago until last Tuesday for the debate with Joe Biden,' he said. \n\n“So don't let the virus extremists scare you.”\n\nMr Bolt said the fact President Trump was supposedly recovering from the virus was a further cause for reassurance.\n\n“If you believe him and his doctors, (Trump is) seeming already on the mend, after getting three drugs, including Remdesivir, plus zinc,” he said. \n\n“Trump is actually in a very high risk category for this virus. His age, 74, his gender and his obesity.\n\n“But if he is out of the hospital soon, that just won't be political gold for him.\n\n“It should also tell you that you are now much less likely to die of the virus; doctors are much better at treating this.”\n\n realDonaldTrump Jajajajajjaja Jajajajajjaja so you’re telling me the same treatment trump used, will become available people lunging in developing nations ... no charge...., Jajajajajjaja Jajajajajjaja realDonaldTrump POTUS is being taken care of with abundant of caution. Supportive & targeted treatment hve greatly improved over the past 5 months. No need to hide. In asia patients age 90's is now surviving this covid 19 infection. realDonaldTrump Spare a thought for those who succumbed to the virus - and their families!

Politics around Trump's COVID case are 'diabolical for Trump, worse for the Left' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host James Morrow says the politics surrounding the president's contraction of COVID are “absolutely diabolical for Trump” but are worse for the Left. \n\n“They cannot contain their rage and their hatred over Donald Trump,” he said. \n\n“The stuff we saw on Friday and Saturday, over the weekend, and elsewhere, just everybody being feral and wishing him dead and all sorts of horrible things, even people like Queensland’s health minister getting in on the act.\n\n“This will then, I think, have the effect of galvanising Trump supporters, saying we can’t let the other guy win.”\n\nMr Morrow said the ugliness from the Left would deter undecided voters from voting for “the side that’s wishing the president of the United States dead”.\n realDonaldTrump yeah, I’m devastated here on the left, not having covid. What a ballbag. realDonaldTrump Fail again Sky.... realDonaldTrump Getting covid to own the left.

Beijing can ‘outsmart any Australian premier’ | Sky News AustraliaThe Chinese government and its subsidiary companies will “outsmart any premier” in Australia regardless of party, according to former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger.\n\nThe Victorian government has recently engaged with Chinese state-owned train building company CRRC which has been blacklisted by the US and found to have ties with Uighur Muslim exploitation.\n\nPremier Daniel Andrews has denied knowing the human rights abuses linked with the corporation claiming it had assurances from CRRC that it does not benefit from slave labour from exploited Uighurs.\n\n“I don’t do national security reviews,” Premier Andrews said.\n\n“No one’s raised any questions about this company with us, if that were to change, then we would take appropriate action,” he continued.\n\nMr Kroger told Sky News the communist regime will “outsmart any premier; Liberal or Labor”.\n\n“Just as they’ve outsmarted all the Caribbean nations where they’ve invested and left a trail of wreckage behind them.” \n Michael Kroger would know all about being outsmarted. If we have a half smart premier then that won't be the case. Doesn’t matter smart or not. They all work for money not for people.
