Mr Kenny referred to criticism delivered by Treasurer Josh Frydenberg against the Victorian government's handling of hotel quarantine in the state. "As a Victorian, I feel so devastated about what has transpired in my state. It should never have got to this," Mr Frydenberg said on Friday.
“Now he's not attacking Daniel Andrews there, he's just showing frustration and his passion … fair enough, good on him,” Mr Kenny said. Mr Kenny also said recent remarks made by the New South Wales Health Minister Brad Hazzard in state parliament, levelled against NSW Opposition Leader Jodi McKay were “inexcusable”. He said Mr Hazzard’s behavior was “just not good enough” after the Health Minister verbally attacked Ms McKay during Question Time on Thursday over the issue of mask wearing.
When you find yourself in the midst of IStandWithDan drones.
Where are 11M $ worth of guards working?
Andrews has been clear and transparent throughout the whole process. Very calm. This is a pandemic which we are still learning about and can cause spikes anywhere-as we know. Thank GOD he didn’t do anything idiotic....like let 100s of infected passengers off a cruise ship
No wonder foxtel is getting a hit with SkyNews shit like this
Why is sky news such a depressing media network? No wonder everyone that works there looks so sad & upset & just repeat negative comments etc.... What a sad disgusting place it would be to work..😜🤪😛😷
FatherBob How dare you? How dare you use a photo of IStandWithDan? How dare you undermine his exemplary leadership qualities in this crisis. When the story is about Hazzard's bullying behaviour. HowDareYou

ThisIsNotJournalism
the only clusterfuck is newscorp. Newscorp is undermining the entire fucking pandemic response in Victoria just to try to score political points, and it's not working, Dan's stronger than ever.
No wonder Newscorp keeps losing billions. Shit journalists amateur hour!
Chris Kenny if he had to face real life...
If the PM would have done his job we would not need people like Dan to step up.
My thoughts on CK...
Chris Kenny should be tested for canine distemper. Hope its not a STD.
You lot are filthy.
Oh just piss off. Everyone is well aware of the political agenda being played out here. And it won't work.
How much did Foxtel lose again?
AGED CARE WHERE MANY CASES IN VICTORIA CAME FROM IS REGULATORY RESPONSIBILITY & JURISDICTION OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. NO STAFF SCREENING STRATEGIES OR OTHER HEALTH STRATEGY PROVISIONS FOR AGED CARE CENTRES. MORRISON & FEDERAL AGED CARE MINISTER RICHARD COLBECK ARE RESPONSIBLE.
If we could get rid of Andrews and his ignorant but arrogant attitude to thinking he his capable of running a group of pollies or a crisis, we might have a chance of people being able to live far more normal lives ,and beat the virus,but we need Andrews gone.
Reme dickhead Dan saying that he would make sure the virus would not get to regional nursing homes.. it's in Bendigo and Shepparton... Fuck this guy.. the elderly are the ones we need to protect...
Typical shite from Murdoch’s minions
And what the actual FARK would Chris Kenny know about anything? About as relevant as Allan Jones and Kredlin
IStandWithDan
Wasn't PeterDutton_MP given the responsibility of keeping COVID from breaching our borders? Where's the scathing attacks against him? Eh? You guys are useless.
This crap is why I cannot watch Sky.
Can us Victorians please get a night off from the snipping from Kenny,bolt,dean,panini,Murray.jones eat al. Please Please Please with sugar on top!
By not being able to manage appropriately, he has caused a State of Panic. Just likened to wartime scenario at the expense of Victorians in every way. 1st lockdown caused ppl fight over toilet rolls, he still does not understand the potential impact of what he has just done!!
VICTORIANS CAN THANK LIBERAL PARTY PROPAGANDA SKY NEWS FOR ENCOURAGING THESE ANTI MASK NUTTER PROTESTS.
But Dan Andrews stay calm and measured. The Liberals can't handle the heat
20,000 Victorians are already getting the hell out of the banana Republic of Victoria. They clearly understand that Dan Andrews lockdowns are never gonna stop. He’s going to keep doing them until all the businesses are destroyed and the suicide rate is the real pandemic.
Dan cannot manage under pressure, so he slams it with a declaration of disaster and invoked a curfew. Basically he panicked & sent a streak of panic across the State. I know of people who are so intimidated they almost stopped living. Create a State of living dead is not the way
I find it a bit weird Chris. Your organisation's revenues are going over a cliff ...yet you and the other muppets carry on with the same old anti-Left/ABC/Labor crap night after night and people obviously don't want to buy that shit. On what planet is that a good business model?
You and your so called journalists are a disgrace Sky News Please just go away and leave us all alone
Kenny is politically themed entertainment filler sandwiched between advertising content sold by Sky.
FatherBob Is that true, or did a dog tell him?
FatherBob How many Dan supporters are public service workers here on Twitter?
FatherBob I heard Chris Kenny has been eaten by bats. I heard it on SkyAfterDark1 .
FatherBob Why are you retweeting these twits Bob?
It’s the authoritarians that are enjoying the power. It will be up to voters to fix it next time.
FatherBob
Is it because the victorian Premier is showing what a waste of space the PM actually is, showing leadership and taking responsibility for decisions, not running off and hiding and then blaming the wife and kids?
Nope. Only Newscorp is testing tempers... No one else. Oh by the way Sky IStandWithDan
I dont see it all i see is a bunch of bureaucrats being paid off by big pharma and gates to push a globalist ideology
Yep and you’re not helping at all, so you’re part of the problem too
Brad Hazzard needs to be sacked. He’s lost all credibility
So do us all a favour and all resign. Time for realistic, truthful leaders
And causing mass suicides of civilians. More importantly.
You Murdoch's are not helping either. In fact, you are leading the charge for bad behaviour. And its getting noticed. 527 dislikes and 346 likes last night. Now 1,100👎 and only 596👍 Disgusting drivel. Every damn day.
Would love to join a peaceful protest against Dan Andrews.
Is your News Limited?
Fake News Kenny
Are they? Are they really...? Or are reporters from a certain stable just increasingly exasperated that they haven't yet been able to get a rise from a team doing the very best that they can under trying circumstances....?
And so says the pet vet!
Cue the dumbest of the dumb in our society defending killer Dan Andrews
If there was an LNP premier in Vic in the same situation would there be the same diatribe coming from the after dark dungeon

Accountability in modern politics 'questionable' if 'Andrews remains' in his position | Sky News AustraliaPolitical consultant Jim Middleton has questioned the meaning of “accountability” in “modern politics” as Victoria Premier Daniel Andrews remains in his position of authority after claiming to be accountable for errors in the hotel quarantine system. \n\nThe Premier vowed he would bear responsibility for any mistakes that were identified in investigating Melbourne’s hotel quarantine bungle which sparked a severe uptick in the state’s coronavirus caseload. \n\n“We know mistakes were made, if he’s accountable, to put it bluntly, why is [Andrews] still there,” Mr Middleton told Sky News. \n\n“We’ve seen ministers in the Victorian government go for issues like branch stacking but I don’t recall ministers across Australia being dismissed or standing down for matters of substance.” \n\n“The idea of having a standard ministerial office as we understood it under the Westminster system has disappeared.”\n\nHe said he expected the question of responsibility for mistakes made would be focused on about five ministers in the Andrews government.\n\n“But in fact all the real decisions were being made or should have been made out of the Premier’s office,” he said. \n\nImage: Getty \n\n DanielAndrewsMP Exactly right, if he's 'accountable' then why is he still in his job? This is just like 'the buck stops with me' until his own party steals money to win an election, then suddenly 'it's not my fault!' ArrestDictatorDan DanielAndrewsMP Ruby Dutton? DanielAndrewsMP A great leader and one that should be admired unlike the pathetic press that want to focus on the past instead of the current and next week. There will be time after this crisis to review all decisions but now is not the time as we need to support our leaders now. Be Australian

Palaszczuk govt criticised for stake in Virgin Australia as airline cuts 3000 staff | Sky News AustraliaThe Palaszczuk government has been criticised for its $200 million stake in embattled airline Virgin Australia after its new owner, Bain Capital, said it could not guarantee the protection of its Queensland workforce.\n\nThe airline yesterday announced it could scrap up to 3,000 staff or about a third of its workforce.\n\nThe state government first offered the $200 million stake on the basis the airline would remain headquartered in Brisbane, but many argued the deal meant nothing if local jobs were not retained.\n\nThe LNP said the Premier needed to assure the Queensland workforce its jobs were safe.\n\nThe Brisbane Airport Corporation said it also considered cutting 100 jobs from its operations due to the pandemic, with fears of further job losses as the state prepared to shut its borders to NSW and the ACT on Saturday.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Corrupt mfkers wasting Australian tax supporting their own friends Sell the bloody ownership then.

Virgin Australia CEO calls for continued govt support | Sky News AustraliaVirgin Australia CEO Paul Scurrah says the airline needs an extension of the JobKeeper wage subsidy due to the volatility of the industry and the uncertainty around borders. \n\n“The prediction that this will go for a little longer will mean that we will need continued government support for the whole sector,” Mr Scurrah told Sky News.\n\n“We will continue to lobby for that, and I think it’s necessary.”\n\nThe airline yesterday axed 3,000 jobs and discontinued the Tigerair brand, after the company released its plan for the new and improved version of the airline.\n\nMr Scurrah also could not definitively say whether more jobs would be lost.\n\n“No CEO of any airline in the world right now can guarantee anything like that,” he said.\n\n“We are still in the middle of a pandemic and the industry is going through the biggest crisis it has ever seen before.\n\n“No one can give a guarantee like that.”\n Just Bail everyone out ScottMorrisonMP Of course they do after firing 3000 odd staff and prob collecting $$ from the Qld Gov.. So much for Palachuk and her promises. She wanted Virgin headquarters to stay in Brisbane to support jobs! Out the window - don't care - you're on your own. Elections looming 20 Oct.

Australia is susceptible to trade retaliation from China as it is 'hugely dependent' | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says the federal government is in an increasingly difficult position as China continues to infringe on and hurt Australia’s national interests.\n\nIt comes as Prime Minister Scott Morrison made a statement to the Aspen Security Forum where he said Australia “welcomed China’s rise as a major economic partner”.\n\n“But with the economic rise does come economic and broader strategic responsibility,” the prime minister said.\n\nMr Sheridan told Sky News host Peta Credlin there needs to be a more concerted effort on behalf of the prime minister and the relevant cabinet ministers to explain to Australians what it is doing with regard to China and why.\n\n“The government is in a very difficult position because China keeps doing things which infringe on and hurt Australia’s national interests,” he said.\n\n“We are hugely dependent on China in our trade, and are always susceptible to trade retaliation by China”.\n\nImage: AP But it's OK to take their money and then shaft them But it's OK to have a former CCP propaganda team member in parliament? the Australian government is doing more to hurt our national interests than China is... with hundreds of billions in unpaid corporate taxes, a repealed carbon initiative, subsidies for the fossil fuel industry, the banks decoupling from the Fed, and privatization services...
