Sky News host Chris Kenny says "activists on the loony left" have sought to characterise the prime minister's desire to get the country moving again as him being "cavalier about the lives of others". The Prime Minister has recognised the increase of economic activity due to the likely reopening of parts of the economy on Friday will "inevitably lead to some, hopefully small, increase in infections," Mr Kenny said.

The fact is that loony left will always try dismis any good work by the conservatives regardless.

Chris Kenny is the LOONEY ONE!!!!!!

The 14% far left have psychological problems. They should seek psychiatric help

Sky 'News' host Chris Kenny is a moron so take his opinions with a grain of salt.

Immigration into Australia 'is a giant ponzi scheme' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Andrew Bolt says the economy is in such trouble now that Australia “can’t afford the old idiocies of the past,” which includes the bipartisan consensus regarding a high net immigration rate.\n \n“One of those idiocies is that idea that mass immigration is of course good for us,” he said. \n\n“That we can import a quarter of a million immigrants every year and that just makes us richer”. \n\n'Of course this giant ponzi scheme makes us better off.'\n\nIt comes as Shadow Home Affairs Minister Kristina Keneally has sparked an internal party stoush by arguing Australians must get a first go at jobs as the coronavirus pandemic continues to impact aspects of society. \n\nMs Keneally has written an op-ed in the Nine newspapers arguing that migration cannot remain at the same levels post-pandemic. \n\nShe said Australia could be 'harmed' by an influx of temporary workers when restrictions are eased.\n\n“We must make sure that Australians get a fair go and a first go at jobs,” Senator Keneally wrote.\n\nMr Bolt said the wrath incurred by Ms Keneally for “saying something so sane,” is she has now been “called a xenophobe and ignorant”. \n\nMr Bolt also spoke with The Australian’s Judith Sloan who said she 'didn't quite get the objection' to what Ms Keneally had said. \n\n We cant have debates without being labelled racist. NZ lowered immigration numbers years ago to protect their locals from sharply rising real estate and a dramatic shift in culture yet we are racist.. True I’ve always been told by Australians that Australians are lazy and don’t want to work. Is that why you have so many immigrant workers?

‘Australia enters the COVID-19 crisis from a place of economic strength': Cormann | Sky News AustraliaFinance Minister Mathias Cormann says he wants “to see economic restrictions eased' as soon as it is 'safe from a health point of view”. \n\nCurrent restrictions in Australia are costing $4 billion each week with one million jobs having been lost over the past five weeks across the country.\n\nMr Cormann said the government had “put measures in place to help the economy operate in a way that is COVID safe”.\n\n“In a business as usual situation it is very important that government doesn’t get in the way of individual enterprise and private sector businesses,' he told Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\nHowever, “we’re dealing with a very specific crisis caused by an external event beyond our control and these are the moments when the government has to step up … to provide a significantly enhanced safety net'. \n\nAccording to Mr Cormann, Australia is going into this crisis “in the strongest most resilient position possible” due to the Coalition government's economic management over the past few years. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia MathiasCormann Yeah, right now. Before business owners and those who’ve lost jobs, homes and families start necking themselves by the thousands. Screw thos communist BS you’re supposed to be a forward thinking government not idiot wreckers. MathiasCormann I don’t think Mathias is smoking cigars anymore... he’s moved on to marijuana!

Trans-Tasman travel bubble 'has an enormous amount going for it' | Sky News AustraliaTourism and Transport Forum CEO Margy Osmond says the idea of a trans-Tasman travel bubble “has an enormous amount going for it”. \n\nA trans-Tasman bubble allowing Australians and Kiwis to travel between countries will be on the agenda when New Zealand's Prime Minister joins today's national cabinet teleconference.\n\nThe Tourism and Transport Forum CEO told Sky News there was an enormous amount of work being done to facilitate the plan. \n\n“I think it’s important to understand that New Zealand is still our second biggest market, in fact it’s only in the last 12 to 18 months that China beat New Zealand as being our biggest group of inbound,” Ms Osmond said. \n\nMs Osmond said it was especially important following a horror year for the industry which was already devastated by the bushfires. \n\n“Essentially from the tourism industry’s perspective, we’ve had the ultimate perfect storm, the double whammy to end them all,” she said. No. Its opening up the back door round Australia's borders. NZ is already hiding illegal immigrants. E.g Behrouz Boochani.
