China criticism proves Australia and Japan are a 'united front' | Sky News AustraliaWest Australian Political Journalist Sarah Ison says Australia and Japan’s joint statement in opposition to China’s coercive behaviour presents a “united front” ahead of the G7 summit. \n\nThe joint statement - which comes after two hours of virtual meetings between Australia’s Foreign Affairs Minister Marise Payne, Defence Minister Peter Dutton and their Japanese counterparts - labelled China’s economic behaviour as undermining “the rules-based international system”.\n\nMs Ison says the declaration was “a really pointed statement” against Beijing.\n\n“It was very much the two countries coming together and presenting something of a united front in this statement and it no doubt has already gained criticism from China,” she told Sky News.\n\n“We’ve had a lot of comments and the confirmation that the geo-strategic competition that we’re facing right now will be discussed and that’s code for China’s rise and the competition particularly with the United States.\n\n“Last year Australia had a really tough year with China … and the world was really watching on with apprehension and a lot of worry about what is being deemed as economic coercion, so I think those discussions about where to from here will be had and will be had on the side-lines of the G7.”\n 😂😂😂Your leaders are chosen by American.

Herd of elephants wandering through China is 'unprecedented' | Sky News AustraliaA herd of elephants which has been travelling through China for 15 months has stopped for a rest on the edge of the city of Kunming.\n\nAsian Elephant Cognition and Behaviour Expert Joshua Plotnik says he does not know what led the elephants to travel 500 miles from their original home in the Yunnan province, saying the situation is “quite unprecedented”.\n\n“These elephants haven’t simply just left to go food shopping, as it were, they’ve travelled several hundred kilometres looking for something,” Mr Plotnik told Sky News.\n\n“It could be because of loss of resources they were looking for and no longer have access to in their home area.”\n\nHe said government officials, scientists and locals are working together to develop a plan to assist the elephants.\n\n“The longer-term solution is to find a way to either turn those elephants back to their home, or to gear them towards another protected habitat where they can live safely.”\n\n What if all they've been trying to do this entire time was to get away from the person with the camera?

The world is 'sorting itself' into two coalitions headed by the US and China | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian's Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says the world is 'sorting itself out' into two coalitions, one headed by the United States while the other is headed by China.\n\nThe remarks come after Mr Morrison addressed the nation with a major foreign policy speech ahead of his trip to Cornwall for the G7 Summit.\n\n'The real guts of Morrison's speech was the part where he was talking about democracies cooperating economically as well as strategically,' Mr Sheridan said.\n\n'What I think is happening, but who knows if it's going to follow through, is the world is sorting itself out into a US-led coalition and a China-led coalition.\n\n'The US-led coalition is mainly democracies but with some sort of fellow travelling authoritarian regimes like Vietnam.\n\n'The Chinese system is overwhelmingly authoritarian systems, Russia, Iran, and North Korea are in the Chinese camp.'\n\nMr Sheridan said the way Australia will deal with China's trade coercion was to 'trade less' with China and to develop 'alternative trade markets'.\n\n If that is the case China has to get out of Darwin Harbor? Will be needed for future problems that could occur with US military already here to save Australia as they did in World War II. Where is the two time elected former P.M. Rudd to continue his recent call? Say in Mandarin? Australia will join the third coalition called“ BS Alliance” Oh FFS. This has been happening for decades!

Nathan Buckley ‘coached us all, and coached us well’ in the manner of his Collingwood departure | Sky News AustraliaNathan Buckley has “coached us all, and coached us well” in the manner of his leaving Collingwood, according to Sky News host Andrew Bolt.\n\n“I am not a Collingwood fan … and I have never had more than a grudging respect for its coach, Nathan Buckley,” Mr Bolt said.\n\n“But that’s just changed … because never have I heard such a gracious and grateful speech from a man who’s just been forced by failure to leave a job he loved.\n\n“My respect is now admiration. This was the example we needed after seeing a shrieking procession of failed leaders being dragged out of their jobs, swearing revenge, taking no blame, hurling insults.”\n\nMr Bolt spoke with former AFL footballer Nick Dal Santo about Mr Buckley’s departure.\n\n“I feel my perception of him changed off the back of that press conference,” he said.\n\n“He was so professional, and I just think that the way that he spoke, the terms and the words that he used.\n\n“I just thought he handled himself perfectly and said exactly what he had to do.”\n Maybe Bolt could follow suit and leave sky news I feel these kind words from Andrew will bring him great comfort. 🙏 scott morrison should take note
