The Everest barrier draw held early amid security concerns | Sky News Australia

SharriMarkson Are 80% of NSW from the Left? Don't think so.

Just as well most people think differently from you . PEOPLE POWER.

Pretty happy to google 'gambling' and most of the first links are to help stop gambling. This host would be one of the people that would support vending machines in schools for 'revenue'... I don't trust people that are emotionally manipulative or tell you who to trust

How is misuse of a world heritage site a left v right issue?

Over a light show More like using the Opera house as a bloody billboard to advertise gambling!! Typical Sky sprouting off LNP bullshit!

Regardless of political or religous persuasion, how can any decent/reasonable person consider Alan Jones' or this woman's treatment of other human beings as acceptable? If this is what our nation has come to, we should all be ashamed😣

Has Australia REALLY been dumbed down to this level? How patronising! No doubt she considers herself a 'Social Influencer'. Ah, the narcissistic world we live in! Fortunately many of us still have independent thinking. Attempted media and political manipulation are not welcome!

Sky should just declare itself as the media wing of the LNP and be done with it. Not a half competent journalist to be found, especially after dark.

OMG... 😂😂 They actually pay you for your opinion? Hold that thought.. they actually pay anybody for any opinion on ?

Snowflake everywhere but Sydney tops every other city

You mean the Right can't work out why they can't just rule with impunity like the good ol' days and they don't like it.

Started by Alan Ratbag、 not the left。。。

SharriMarkson what you’re seeing dear is people reacting to crassness!! Nothing to do with political sides! It’s about culture and honouring that cultural heritage!! Not demeaning it!!

Yet the right are constantly in a lather at how others live their lives, whether it be their faith, culture or sexuality. Along with a pitifully limited vision of what it means to be Australian is an inability to appreciate integrity as the right believe everything is for sale.

Goebbels would be proud of the propaganda!! This isn't news it's neoliberal propaganda. Is this why there is a general attitude if disrespect. Kids see bullying by politicians in parliament, on the news by you guys and by tossers like Jones. Take a bow ;)

Seriously, what an absolute lightweight is SharriMarkson

So this is how the unethical Right use pejorative language to minimise and dismiss legitimate concerns by the general population who don’t agree with a group abusing their power & bullying public servants for their own financial gains

It’s not the left .... generalisation MUCH

C'mon Sharri. You guys lather up every night on Sky. The Outsiders are the lather twins. Sometimes you have Pauline on, the Lather Queen. So, you know, shut up please. SharriMarkson auspol

Of course the 'right' don't get outraged about anything. 😀

Sky no news..😊

SharriMarkson You totally miss the point. No sparks in your marks huh.

All the depth of a puddle.

😂😂😂. OMG you “right wing” lunatics just don’t get it. IT WAS NOT A LIGHT SHOW. IT WAS ADVERTISING A BLOODY HORSE RACE FOR YOUR RICH MATES ON THE OPERA HOUSE.

The same Sharri Markson who hacks on year 3 schoolkids for showing compassion towards the children on Nauru, so take her pronouncements with a huge bucket of salt. And disinfectant.

sharrimarkson Not just people of the Left, Sharri. In fact 80% of NSW disapproves of Opera House sails being used to advertise a horse race.

What we are actually seeing is normal people finally kicking up a stink about Right Wing people always demanding things be done their way ! We are sick to death of RWNJs who have a mainly minority appeal = making all the rules about what is right and what is wrong for everyone !

It is not a Right/Left issue & the light show is the least of it. That an unelected big mouth like Jones can bully a respected Public Servant in such a fashion, and that he can then also effectively threaten the Premier are the real travesties in this. Jones had a vested interest

Well, Princess Petal has slipped into Sky News idiocy quite superbly, hasn't she.

The tone!!!!

How does it feel to be part of an organisation known throughout the world as one that peddles lies & misinformation? TOXIC!

Death of Sean Hoare, just his interviewing style really

rightoutpeter I am by no means on the Left, but I see the point of the protest against such a crass promotion. Don't understand why you don't. You seriously misread the situation if you think it's just Lefties.

No we are sick of right wing twats doing whatever they like without consequences and people like you promoting their bastadry

You need a better Editor! Here's an example, so you're not messing with the truth. Give this to your on-screen presenter, for free! 'What we are seeing is a society that's had enough; no left-right to it! It will be ignored no longer! SN apologises for misleading you earlier'.

SharriMarkson You said “Alan Jones apologised for bullying Herron”. When and where did he do this?

I didn't think anybody could be worse than Credlin but the diatribe SharrieMarkson has been blithely and sweetly spewing is gut turning BoycottSKYnews

Not to mention Clive is spending obscene amounts of money on advertising yet says he has no money to pay his Queensland Nickel workers in Townsville? 🤔

about 200,000 people disagree with you strongly enough to sign a petition ---- they plus many thousands more voters in NSW will punish lying Libs at next ballot box opportunity

Its only Delusional RW FUKWITS like you who think its only the left LEFT doing this Another MurdochHackPressitute Here's 50c ring someone ang get an IDEA you DS auspol

.SharriMarkson It wasn’t a benign Son et Lumiere “lightshow”. It was about gambling addiction 💰where horses die. 52 horses died on NSW race tracks Aug 2017 - Jul 2018. Double number in Qld & Vic. This is what .AlanJones pvlandys GladysB support.

Nonsense...it is a protest against Alan Jones.

WallaceDeano Get over it move on

Based on recent history, I think it’s fair to assume the howling snowflakes vigorously protesting a simple light show are lefties. Conservatives might not agree either but most would write a letter to the editor instead of acting like two-year-olds.

Alan Jones chucked an on air tantrum for gambling interests.

Just a light show ? Really ? Is that what you think of treating a national treasure as a gambling billboard ? And the right are suppose to be the patriotic anti globalist ones but i guess throw some money at them and they bend to your will.

SharriMarkson it’s hardly the fault of protestors that the govt are sending extra police and riot squads. People have the right to free assembly and protest. They’re planning to assemble and protest on Crown Land.

Who is this amateur news reader anyway?

Come onSharri, you can be better than this. Can’t you see the punters have had enough of arrogance, elitism and political cronyism. That’s what was at the heart of this protest.

Imagine if Newscorpse wasn’t as in touch with their base as they think they are. It then just shows they are the greedy ones

Easy for you to dismiss something when you have no sense of community. Or when everything is just a commodity to be bought and sold. Easy for to dismiss all that do not agree with your vacuous partisan statements as just being lefties. But there’s more to life! Have a soul!

company puppet

You think the riot police are honestly needed? You think this is the ‘lefties’? You think a horse race, the ‘sport of kings’ is comparable to rugby or cricket? AND you think this is Sydney’s answer to the Melb Cup. God help me 🤦‍♂️

SharriMarkson How do you know they are ‘left’? Did you ask them? Are you making assumptions? I thought reporters job was to report the ‘facts’? Where are your facts?

I totally agree Shari.. no objections..? Dull girl hypocrisy

We are a nanny state communist capitalist

'The left are breaking down in outrage' what a nuanced opinion! Is this person meant to be a journalist? Sounds more like a partisan hack

Weird. It's like 'the right' never get outraged about anything at all. 🤔 No seriously though, if it wasn't for outrage, people like Markson would be out of a job. I guess the 'left' keep her, Devine, Kenny, Punahni, Bolt, Murray, Jones and Sky employed, huh? Ingrates auspol

What a mess Markson is, thinks she’s a journalist when she’s just a silly little mouthpiece for NewsCorp’s vested interests

SharriMarkson Sharri is correct. Riot police on the streets near the Opera House as Left protesters gather to voice their protest over the Everest advertisement and the Alan Jones interview.

SharriMarkson Yes Sharri, a ridiculous protest by Inner City Left elites over a simple advertisement on the Opera House sails.

Excellent common sense commentary from Sharri Markson on this Opera House/light show event. The Left coming out in protest outrage over a simple 6 minute Everest advertisement on the Opera House. Ridiculous !

softcock syndrome

Once again I ask who are you ? Are you relevant?

A peaceful protest is bad, but vitriolic bullying by a radio announcer is fine. Hmmm. Very balanced assessment.

SharriMarkson Cause 80% of people are on the left?! A bit out of touch Sharri.

Vivid will now be known as Livid

What we’re seeing in society at the moment are compassionless conservatives who work themselves up into a lather about anything that doesn’t fit their racist/xenophobic agenda of hate.

The Right has not the right to dictate to anyone how things should be. Get this message: you work in the media, which means in the middle of sender and receiver. We receive, but we will not be ordered to agree with, your opinion. If the reaction is clear, get the message.

SharriMarkson No. What we are seeing, right here in this post, is an over rated compare simply disregarding public opinion - which by the way you are supposed to be representing through your reporting...therefore we all must question your allegiance. Oh wait - SkyNews...your not real media.

SharriMarkson Oh please put a sock in it Sky - piss poor reporting - very amateur piece. It’s not comparable to the previous ads and even those shouldn’t have been used. Pretty it up with Vivid once a year otherwise leave it alone.

So 80% of Sydney is left are you saying? Silly little Shari dumbing down every argument with inane labelling. Someone tell her about swinging voters& intelligent adults thinking for themselves.

Nobody works themselves into a lather like the right. Daily, Murdoch papers & Sky News are in a huge lather. That's all they do. They're telling most of NSW right now that they're wrong to object to a shock jock owning his own political party. Read the fucking room, Sharri.

What an annoying FW

Shari another Murdoch paid mouthpiece for the LNP

DontBlameMeIVotedNo Now these people think they can get anything passed if they get outraged enough.

Some one should have a coffee cart at the opera house selling lattes they would make a packet

People from the left? Damn you’re a toolbag. Everyone across the community is outraged, but you’re too stupid to see that. As usual sharty!

dpb1881 Essential poll on October 9th, 2018. ALP 37% (+1), Greens 10% (-2), Libs 34%, Nats 4%, PHON 7%, CA 1%, others or independent 8%. ALP 53% v L/NP 47%. Translated to a general election Labor 87 (+18) seats, Coalition 58 (-18) seats, others 5 seats. AusPol

I hope bet365 gets a chance to advertise on the Opera House next! snowflakes

So Alan Jones is from the left? 😮🙄

Horseshit.

SharriMarkson Hard hitting opinion......read from an autocue!! Got to love the balanced nature of Murdoch’s mouthpieces.

Dream on.

Im sure there are some folks on the 'right' who disagree with the display, certainly less vocal though. A shame we dont see more peaceful protests against more important pressing issues facing society & the vulnerable.

BREAKING NEWS once upon in Colony penal times and beyond ,Sydney was known ,as 'STH-SOUTH ASIAS WHORE ' think about the CONVICTS the core CULTURAL enslaved class ,THINKING ! Abortion rights ,Should be hospital based! on MEDICARE Universal womans rights ! thebotrepoort abcnews

SharriMarkson Eric Abetz and the saga of the rainbow flag at the finance department no doubt is coming up next, Sharri.

Maybe we are just sick of your masters getting a free ride on the public purse . Sick of all your creative ideas to liberate our money by hook or crook. Maybe we don’t like Alan Jones thinking he’s running our country.

A work colleague suggested today, seriously, in the light of Trump 'successes' that we should give him 'a go' at running Australia. Maybe the 'stable geniuses' at Sky are already ahead in the game. Compare the pair.

Zzzzzzzz

I really feel like if Alan hadn’t carried on the way he did this ‘light show’ would not have become such a big issue.......

BlackDuck481 allegations by women versus due process of innocent until proven guilty china vs world russia vs the world EU vs Brexit open borders vs border control police versus criminals who get shot drugs vs drug control

.SharriMarkson if you think it’s merely ‘over a light show’ you can’t really call yourself a journalist.

Hold all bets NO NEED a advertising budget The Spring Racing season ,starts with a FRENZY ,nothing changes ,Race season now stopping a City,of MUDDLES INNER CITY ,BTW how much $ a MIN? should be times 10.Rules the heart of Sydney ,MELBOURNE CUP Theft= NUMBER 30 barriecassidy

BlackDuck481 They divide us everywhere possible male versus female families vs LGBT white vs everyone indigenous vs whites muslims vs everyone globalists vs nationalist immigration increase vs decrease media vs Trump abortion vs no abortion religion vs atheism capitalist vs communism

“Lightshow “ aka flogging gambling ...

It seemed like Alan Jones was in a bit of a lather over this TBH and I’m pretty sure there was some outrage on display too!

Stop broadcasting bullshit.

Shazzas shite talking again

She is obviously using guess work needs to do some research before giving her opinion.

SharriMarkson really... maybe you need to rethink your role in journalism.. certainly not balanced

You are missing the point. Its all about Alan Jones

Found for itu🤔😎🙏

It is new - it’s pushing an agenda of donkeys running a race - it’s pushing a gambling sector and it’s a question of moral fibre - prestige vs thugs

Except it wasn't an interview just Jones giving his opinion

If we allow these lowlifes to determine our future we are doomed. They think that just because they can organise themselves with the help of Universities that we should take notice of them They are self absorbed, entitled, middle class and loath the fact they are white

That’s your opinion

It’s because adults are back in charge again and the lefties don’t like it. They became to accustomed to Obama’s feels speeches and virtue-signalling which made them feel like they were helping in some weird way. Now they are back in reality they are miserable shits.

SackAlanJones started the 'lather'. If he hadn't put on his usual piglike bullyboy performance on air, likely the whole opera house advertising thing would have flown under the radar. Which the racing industry WON'T thank him for.

Always reductive, always stupid. It’s your trademark. Carry on.

auspol so are you suggesting that a quarter of a million Australians are on the left? I wish!

Most don’t care about issues 2018 is all about virtue signaling on social media ask these protesters that are so brave how many have driven out to an indigenous community and spent time making someone’s life actually better - I think zero , how many are willing to give their job

Sharri, let the grown ups deal with this please.

Dont import crazy left wing University propaganda into mainstream like has happened in US I dont care for horse racing but I fund the Opera house so show the lightshow and stop the Left

The protest may not be solely left but rest assured the unrest will be. Leftie terrorists are everywhere and conservatives are loving it.

The first sign of mental illness is to become obsessive over single focus issues in a narrow minded way.

Who is she ?

Sounds like the Dean and Cameron show.

Wrong. Not all Australians support gambling, & it is therefore wrong to use an Australian icon like the Opera House as a billboard to advertise on. Foreigners will see it & assume widespread support for gambling. It’s not a right v left issue at all. auspol

gerster_kaylene You will forever be proof that sky is an equal opportunity employer. Good for you.

Ive signed the petition and I'm a long long long long way from being 'from the left'. I just dont want iconic buildings being used as billboards. Marketing should stay in its proper place which isnt on the Sydney Opera House

No, what we are seeing is a bunch of entitled rich arseholes getting their butts handed to them. It's glorious.

gerster_kaylene Meh, it's a slow week. Their pussyhats are in the wash.

Why do ppl like this always have to label others as ‘left’ if they call something out? I can assure you I live in what would be considered a right wing safe seat and the anger is palpable. Of course she completely misses the point of the outrage.

I don’t know why Sky bothers with all the screeching opinionistas it would be cheaper just have a 24 hour ticker feed running across the screen with TEH LEFT! TEH LEFT! TEH LEFT ....😂
