Sky News host Chris Kenny says the National Cabinet is not bringing the nation together, it is seeing the country 'devolve back into six different colonies, six separate countries' with each patrolling its borders with vigilance.

Sky News host Chris Kenny says the National Cabinet is not bringing the nation together, it is seeing the country "devolve back into six different colonies, six separate countries" with each patrolling its borders with vigilance. “This border closure stuff is really out of hand,” Mr Kenny said. “If the National Cabinet is good for anything, it must find a way to restore some order, restore some commonsense to our border tomorrow”.

Mr Kenny said as of Friday, South Australians in Victoria cannot go home due to the strict border closure. “You won't believe how bad this is getting … South Australia is treating Victorians like mugs”. Mr Kenny also spoke with Apsley School Principal Tanya Turner about her rural school which is 8km within the Victorian border. Ms Turner said the school currently has 26 enrollments with nine of those actually coming from South Australia.

If Qld processed border exemptions in the same way they did for the Broncos coach and millionaires I wouldn't be breaching the border rules. Weeks I've waited for an exemption but I'm not the Broncos coach. And quarantine has shit food, health concerns, and no exercise BreachIt

Lockdown controls pandemics

South Australia.....the weakest economy in Australia, it's economy will be wrecked if border closure continues.

South Australia Government turning the State into its own independent fiefdom and Republic, snubbing all other Australians at its border.

Isn’t ScottMorrisonMP the leader of the country? Or do the premiers have more power then the actual prime minister? It’s like we have 6 people running the show

Why Hydroxychloroquine can save life? Why none of the CCP officers gets the virus? Because they used Hydroxy chloroquine in December 2019 and controlled all the media and WHO to lie to the world saying Hydroxy is no use at all.

This is what happens when you have an absence of national leadership, ScottMorrisonMP more interested in peddling a none existent agreement for a non existent vaccine.......

SA border remains shut to Victorians but international students welcome | Sky News AustraliaSouth Australian Health Minister Stephen Wade has struggled to answer questions as to why international students will be allowed to enter the state to study but the border will remain shut to Melburnians. \n\nMr Wade said South Australia was allowing international students to enter the state to resume their studies because having foreign students in universities was “an extremely important industry for South Australia”.\n\n“It’s worth $2 billion a year to our economy, for every four students who come into South Australia, that’s another South Australian who gets a job,” he said. \n\nHe said the port of dispatch for the international students was Singapore. \n\n“The reality is, these students are coming from relatively low risk, low prevalence COVID-19 environments,” Mr Wade said. \n\nHowever, Mr Wade said the border would remain closed to Victorians. \n\n“Victorians is a different case in point when you’ve got 2,100 cases in the last week we’ll continue to maintain our border with Victoria until it’s safe to do so,” he said. \n\n“Melbourne has got 17,000 active cases.”\n\nThe Victorian State Government Health and Human Services released on Monday there were 7,474 active COVID-19 cases in Victoria. \n StephenWadeMLC So the Vice Chancellors can keep earning $1 million plus bucks per year StephenWadeMLC The reason is MONEY StephenWadeMLC He had no clue after being asked simple questions, he knows that they are most likely Chinese students via Singapore, just like at the beginning of Victorians shut-down, Andrews and university mates,paid those from China for their extra expenses for flying in via other countries

Sending Victorians back into COVID hotspots could be more dangerous for SA | Sky News AustraliaPreventing Victorians from crossing into South Australia could force them back into COVID-19 hotspots increasing the risk of the virus spreading to the border communities, according to Liberal MP Tony Pasin.\n\nThe South Australian government will enforce a hard closure of its Victorian border on Friday, a drastic step away from current arrangements that allow residents of border communities to travel inter-state with regular COVID-19 testing.\n\n“I just fear that we’ve got ourselves in a situation now where risk adverse decisions are being made without regard for the economic consequences,” Mr Pasin told Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\nMr Pasin – whose federal electorate of Barker encompasses South Australian border communities – said it would be “much more risky” for those cross-border towns if Victorians were forced out than if strict arrangements were made for inter-state travel.\n\n“By forcing Victorians who would otherwise obtain their health services or other services from places like Mount Gambier … they (could) move back into Victoria where the disease load’s more prevalent,” he said.\n\n“The solution here cannot be to lock communities away from each other.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia What a load of... Where are you hiring opinion editors? Kindy? Why Hydroxychloroquine can save life? Why none of the CCP officers gets the virus? Because they used Hydroxy chloroquine in December 2019 and controlled all the media and WHO to lie to the world saying Hydroxy is no use at all. Victoria / South Australia border closures will actually cause increase in corona virus cases rather than eliminate them. Open the SA border now !

Australia secures promising UK coronavirus vaccine | Sky News AustraliaThe federal government has secured a promising vaccine being developed at Oxford University after brokering a deal with a UK-based drug company.\n\nPrime Minister Scott Morrison vowed every Australian would gain 'early access' to the drug for free should trials prove successful.\n\n“The Oxford vaccine is one of the most advanced and promising in the world and under this deal, we have secured early access for every Australian,” Mr Morrison said.\n\n“However, there is no guarantee that this, or any other, vaccine will be successful, which is why we are continuing our discussions with many parties around the world while backing our own researchers at the same time to find a vaccine.”\n\nThe agreement with pharma-giant AstraZeneca would see the vaccine likely manufactured in Australia by Melbourne-based biotech business CSL.\n\nA separate $24.5 million contract was also signed for 100 million needles and syringes while distribution, timing and purchase price for the drug itself are yet to be disclosed.\n\nIn Australia, the University of Queensland was in phase one in the development of its most promising vaccine as the government worked on building a portfolio of vaccine investment should the Oxford trials fail.\n\nThe government also canvassed the possibility of distributing vaccines to other Pacific Island nations as a gesture of goodwill.\n\nUp to 167 possible vaccines are under development globally.\n\nImage: Getty\n\n What’s the matter with getting it done locally?
