The Sky News team – led by Chief Anchor Kieran Gilbert and Political Editor Andrew Clennell - have been nominated for the Harry Potter Award for Outstanding Television for their coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic in the early days of the crisis. As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, Sky News was quick to set the agenda and Kieran Gilbert and Andrew Clennell revealed live on air that NSW and Victorian economies were to be shutdown.
Political Reporter Annelise Nielsen has also been nominated for Outstanding Political Reporting for her powerful interview with reality television Scott Cam about his $347,000 taxpayer funded role with the Federal Government. One month on from the interview Scott Cam gave up his remaining salary as Careers Ambassador, with the Federal Government saying the COVID-19 pandemic had changed what he was able to achieve in the role.

Just because you have been nominated means nothing
HA

This is a joke right? jokes FakeNewsAlert ABCmediawatch
National Right-wing Media Award
Haha you couldn’t make it up.
Not quite the Walkleys though are they?
= Electronic sewage
Hopelessly pro-Liberal and right wing. Don’t even pretend to be unbiased. Rubbish station, rubbish award.
I like how people don't get the difference between far right and hard line conservative. I makes me wonder how difficult it must be to be that fucking stupid
Rubbish !
Congratulations on your well-deserved accolade! Refreshing to see decent objective intelligent journalism.
Kennedy Award? Isn't that just the public telling you a Crow Call, and to FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARK OFF.
😂🤣🙄
best lime suit award?
Thanks for letting me know I can add boycottNRMA for being stupid
I must admit I've never heard of these awards; I'm ashamed of my ignorance.
Sky has turned into a sewer, it is barely watchable.
A great team before 5pm. Each one a professional. After 5 pm my Foxtel subscription is a waste of time. The pure nastiness, contrarianism and bias of the after 5 pm crazies is a shame. Anyway, good job to the rest.
Well done an winning an award sponsored by SkyNews.
Give us a spell.
Never heard of these awards
Nominations can be made by anyone with $50.00
😂😂😂
Well done!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha auspol ThisisNotJournalism murdochmafia
All nicely social distanced. Is Sky News exempted?
A joke? a few years a go m way he but not today.just Murdoch hacks.
Watch this triggered all the little leftie snowflakes 😂 go back to watching the ABC the leaders in lies, BS, PC, virtue signalling and bias crap. No tolerance for people with a different opinion, all on their keyboards spinning hate 😏😂
When Murdoch and News corp own all the media in Australia you really need to stop your modesty
Who nominated Sky?
Seriously how bad must the opposition be.
Seems that lots of people commenting are regular viewers.
Guess the NRMA Kennedy Awards aren't real picky then, eh? Sky is low-quality fiction at best.
you would definitely win the propaganda award every year
Well deserved. Congratulations team. I watch in the evening & check in online & get alerts during the day. Love the thorough coverage u provide, without an agenda. You get the whole story without bias or omissions. The best talent is on Sky, no one else is even close
Rubbish.
Never heard of it. Is it like the Walkley Awards but for conspiracy theorists and racists?
Nominnated? If this tacky foreign divisive propaganda channel gets any awards from the NRMA, I'm looking for an insurer with more integrity.
Sky is a shit stain on the underpants of Australia. Thanks.
For what,it’s a bucket of shit.
I thought I read Kenny Awards there for a minute. And still haven’t stopped laughing
I particularly enjoyed your excellent coverage of Morrison’s big win in Eden Monaro
Lefties must be freakin out!!
ljayes Bullshit
I reckon this might be legit given the sheer volume of anti-China news they had since 23/01/2020, followed by the sheer volume of attacks on Dan Andrews to date. They are winning an award by publicly promoting hatred and abusing politicians in the time when UNITY is most needed.
Outstanding Flogs ,that’s all
These Awards are an absolute joke if you mob have received one for 'news'. The only news you do is fake news. You are just a propaganda arm of the Liberal Party.
oh seriously, if daytime sky is the best we have, then MSM standards in this country is at an all time low.
Thanks for the laugh 🤭
😜🤪😂
Noooooooo!!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
lol you're still calling what you do journalism, ok then North Korean state news is the bastion of journalistic freedom and reasonable dissent.
Lol
Is this some sort of a joke?
What really hmmmm how much did that cost $
They are your own awards you absolute tossers!!! skyisshit
ljayes
'Fantastic. Great News. Well done Sky'.
Umbreago75 is the Kennedy Award designed for to win no one else is nominated
Hahahahahahahahshahahshahah
A Murdoch propaganda platform ? Really? Did the awards folks watch SkyNewsAust propagandists spouting hard right rhetoric disguised as ‘news’? Some commentators are blatant propaganda pushers, rt wing extremists out of touch with ordinary hardworking Australians. auspol
You’ll romp in the “old white guys getting cranky with anything that upsets their status quo” category
New category? Outstanding pro-government Propaganda/
Murdoch lies
Well done team. Bloody legends.
🤦♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂😂 🤡s
Those awards have really gone downhill...
If hate were a renewable energy source,Sky after dark would generate enough power to close down all our coal fired power stations.sky auspol PMOnAir pm_live
Where is the LOL emoji.
Proper news channel, we can only look on with envy over here!
Is your News Limited?
Wonder if he had to pay as much as he paid scomo 😂😂
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA funniest tweet today. You win that “award”.
You guys really are different! You've got a whole channel sitting there on free-to-air and I know I'm getting some rational viewpoints every time.
The journalists in the building would be taken more seriously if they pulled the plug on the way out at 5pm each day.
NRMA do fix brocken things, Sky is beyond repair,they are rusted on far right wing sock puppets.
Congratulations.. there are many talented people working there. Unfortunately over shadowed by the after dark cookie monsters.
MikeCarlton01 Thought you might need a laugh today
What ? By the propaganda publishers society?
And what about your fantastic SkyNewsAfterDark team?
what's the collective noun for a group of Sky 'journalists'? I'll start ... A Lie
'As the COVID-19 pandemic emerged, Sky News was quick to set the agenda...' Yep. Problem is the 'agenda' was full of... Political bashing - QLD ALP Political bashing - VIC ALP Pro any L/NP Pro Trump Anti Science There is an award for that now? Best fake news tabloid?
According to who
Sewer News! Murdoch minions! 🤮💩
Pls excuse my ignorance but who/what is NRMA and who/what is a Kennedy award?
How? There’s no news after 5pm only right wing drivel.
What a joke ‼️
Is this a parody account?
Lets vomit - Max Mosley your my new hero.
How much did that cost Rupey?
Well done
Journalistic excellence?🤦🏻♂️
Look at the sponsors; all on the right wing of politics and not independent journalism (lickspittle). Stonemasons (goatskin apron brigade), Seven News, Nine News, A Current Affair, Fairfax Media, News Corp Australia, The Daily Telegraph & others that share the same ideology.
Were the awards handed out by the same people that do NEWSPOLL as it looks like similar results..... Total 🐄💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩
Cue all the usual anti-Sky/Murdoch idiots 🙄
I don’t watch any news, but I’m less likely to not watch Sky News. The grabs I see seem more real than the mainstream fakenews.
You forgot SkyNewAust also the winner of the most prestigious award of all. GoldenTurdAward
Sky News Australia has been recognised for its outstanding television lies and political propaganda earning a series of laughs at Twitter

'Bright future of Black Australia' slammed by activists wallowing in historical guilt | Sky News AustraliaAcclaimed novelist Peter Carey has joined a large group of 'moral crusaders' in slamming Australia's historical treatment of Indigenous people according to Sky News host Chris Smith.\n\nSpeaking on a podcast on the topic of Australia's colonial history, Mr Carey said Australia has 'racial guilt' because of our knowledge of 'genocide'.\n\nHis comment which “shames Aussies” for not acting on their supposed guilt, was not surprising given Mr Carey’s history of indigenous activism evident in his latest novel, 'Long Way From home' which focuses on indigenous dispossession, according to Mr Smith. \n\nHowever, Mr Smith pointed out “it was not the current population who committed such crimes” and there have been numerous attempts at reconciliation by the broader Australian community. \n\n“We have returned land to aboriginal communities; we join in, with various 'acknowledgments to country' at functions everywhere; and then there's the 30 billion dollars that contributes to the lives of all indigenous people, each single year”.\n\nMr Smith said in contrast to Mr Carey's pessimism and guilt tripping, indigenous leader Warren Mundine wrote this week Black Australia has a bright future and cited government supported programs helping indigenous communities rise out of poverty. \n\n“If Warren Mundine can do that, why can't Peter Carey”. \n We are all children of today He’s doing it to sell his new book, which funnily enough about the same topic. Books don’t sell if they don’t create hype! 2019-2020 Indigenous funding is $5.2 Billion divided by 728k equals a large amount of money for each indigenous recipient

Chinese hackers target Australia in what is the ‘new nature of political warfare’ | Sky News AustraliaChinese spy agencies have targeted an Australian defence contractor, an attack “perfectly consistent” with the government’s warnings that Australian institutions are under threat by China, says The Australian’s Editor-at-Large Paul Kelly.\n\nThe claims were revealed by the US Department of Justice who have also identified the Chinese-based hackers as responsible for targeting American companies seeking a COVID-19 vaccine.\n\n“No one will be surprised by this,” Mr Kelly said.\n\nHe told Sky News host Rita Panahi this attack is emblematic of what he described as the “new grey zone of political warfare”.\n\n“There is some sort of revolutionary change in the nature of power rivalry and the way conflict is pursued.\n\n'It’s no longer just a question of military and economic competition”.\n\n“It is essentially designed to try and penetrate the other nation’s most prized secrets, steal the secrets, defuse their systems, and compromise their political systems.\n\n'This is the new nature of political warfare between countries.”\n\nImage: Getty Let’s give them more foreign ownership China hey...the same china the Government has been in bed with for......years....hmmm desertfox61I TheAustraliaCH TheAustralia Australiannews4 AustralianNews3 australiannews1 Australiannews5 AusNewsDirect NeverTrustChina Pls do not be naive.

The devastating drought 'has gone off the agenda' in Australia: Dubbo mayor | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says this time last year there was lots of talk about the drought in Australia but it must be remembered that now the hardship for our rural communities is far from over. \n\nMr Kenny said it is terrific to see some areas of drought and severe drought are now “shrinking away to the far west, as well as the south-east and north-east corners,” as opposed to being largely state-wide. \n\n“Most of NSW is still drought affected but encouragingly … areas of recovery are growing”. \n\n“So, we've seen rains, some progress, but there is a long way to go”. \n\nMr Kenny discussed the issue with Dubbo local Mayor Dan Shields.\n\nMr Shields told Sky News the drought affecting so many farmers has really 'got off the agenda'. \n\n'The affects of the drought and the ongoing economic problems have really gotten off the agenda of many media outlets'. \n\n'That's a bit of a shame'. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n Why don't you idiots at Rupert Goebbels News Corp not tackle the govt on its corrupt Murray Darling contracts, robbing Australian farmers of water for foreign money... Accountability and prison need now... Australians didn't vote for corruption...

High COVID welfare essentially created a ‘floor price’ in the wages market | Sky News AustraliaThe federal government’s recalibration of JobKeeper and JobSeeker recognises high rates of income support can create a deterrence for people going to look for work, according to Social Services Minister Anne Ruston.\n\nJobSeeker payments will be slashed to $815 a fortnight from September as the Coalition moves to keep COVID-19 support payments until at least the end of the year. \n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison also announced JobKeeper support would be reduced to $1200 per fortnight towards the end of September with a lower payment of $750 for those working less than 20 hours per week.\n\nMinister Ruston said the Treasury Department’s review into JobKeeper uncovered how the payments may have provided essentially a “floor price in the wages market”.\n\n“This is preventing or stopping people looking for work,” she told Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\n“It’s about trying to maintain a balance between the level of support that’s needed given the circumstances we find ourselves in.\n\n“But also recognising if you have high levels of support out there that are creating a deterrent for people going to work then that’s also a negative thing for the economy.”\n\nImage: Getty Anne_Ruston Written and authorised by Chris Kenny for the Australian Liberal Party, Canberra. Anne_Ruston Yeah but Anne Ruston has no idea what the fuck she's talking about. She's no more qualified for the job then a blind bus driver. Anne_Ruston There's no jobs out there for God sake

Cormann admits 'we are in a very challenging fiscal position' | Sky News AustraliaFinance Minister Mathias Cormann says Australia is in a comparatively better position than it would have been if the Coalition 'hadn't done the hard yards' to repair the budget in its first six years in government.\n\n'We are in a very challenging fiscal position - everyone knows why we are where we are,' Mr Cormann said.\n\n'We are in a better position than most other countries around the world both when it comes to health and economic and fiscal outcomes.' \n\nMr Cormann said the unprecedented impact of the coronavirus crisis forced the government to make rapid fiscal decisions that had significant implications for the country, but believed those moves were necessary to protect Australians on both a health and economic front.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia\n\n MathiasCormann 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 MathiasCormann 20 years of LibLab incompetence and corruption is what it is.

Andrews must ‘get his house in order’ before he lectures Victorians | Sky News AustraliaOpposition Leader in the Victorian Upper House David Davis says Premier Daniel Andrews “always wants to point the finger” at the community but never chooses to accept responsibility for his failures.\n\nVictoria has recorded a recorded number of COVID-19 cases, with a whopping 484 people confirmed to have contracted the disease within the last 24 hours.\n\nThe state’s administrative failures regarding hotel quarantine and more recently its prison system, have been widely criticised and identified as the source of recent outbreak.\n\nSix Victorian prisons have been placed into lockdown after a guard tested positive to COVID-19.\n\nIt is believed the guard came into contact with prisoners who were then transferred to other facilities, leading to the lockdown with fear the virus has spread throughout the system.\n\n“The problems with the administration by this government continue,” Mr Davis told Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\nHe said the chain of administration or “in this case mal-administration” by the Andrews government has led to a rapid spread of the virus.\n\n“This is just not good enough. You need a competent government, a government that’s actually got its focus on the ball and not playing politics, not hectoring and lecturing Victorians.\n\nWe are all in this together, but that means the government getting it right too”.\n\n“Andrews always wants to point the finger at the community and the people in the community, he never wants to look in the mirror.\n\n“Get your house in order first before you start lecturing people.”\n\nImage: Getty DavidDavisMP DanielAndrewsMP Lmao ...
