Broadcaster Michael McLaren says Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews “declared a state of disaster he should have declared a state of disaster in his own administration probably three months ago”. “Clearly it’s the returned arrivals and the so-called hotel quarantine which has been the catalyst for the outbreak which has in their mind necessitated these changes,” Mr McLaren told Sky News host Alan Jones.
“The people that instigated the problem are now saying ‘we’ve got the answers'". Mr Jones noted Daniel Andrews was offered up to 1000 experienced defence force personnel to oversee the arrival of travellers from overseas and their 14 day enforced quarantine, an offer which he rejected.

Republicans were 'too soft on Facebook, Google' | Sky News AustraliaRepublicans were too soft on the big tech CEOS when they appeared before Congress last week, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi.\n \nThe four major tech CEOs testified before the America’s House antitrust subcommittee on Wednesday.\n \nThe topics predominantly focused on market power and data usage, however some Republicans, most notably Ohio representative Jim Jordan, accused big tech companies of censoring conservative voices.\n \nMs Panahi said most Republicans failed to scrutinise the major tech companies despite the hearings going for five-and-a-half hours.\n \n“I don’t think the Republicans went far enough, particularly when they were questioning the heads of the big tech companies,” she said.\n \n“I thought they went really soft, a lot of them are beneficiaries of donations from those very companies, and I think perhaps that comprised their principals in that situation\n \n“This is so crucial, these companies control debate and what is said in the public square online, they have virtual monopolies, their power is enormous.\n \nYou can’t go soft on this, you have to be absolutely clear in demanding they are impartial, unbiased platforms.”\n RitaPanahi Tech companies routinely censor political opinions, while they keep legal immunity as platforms. It's one of the biggest fraud's in history, the law needs to change to force them into balance or to declare themselves publishers. RitaPanahi Love you guys, Sky news! You are brave to reveal the big names to the truth and basic values. Big thumbs on you! Really exciting to see you are journalists with justice. 👍👍 RitaPanahi If you successful they come after you. No one complaint during the years they established the companies.

Joint operation thwarts $80 million drug import | Sky News AustraliaA joint operation involving federal and Queensland authorities has helped stop a major drug import from Papua New Guinea. \n\nA small aircraft carrying the illegal substance attempted to take off last month but crashed on the remote airstrip.\n\nIt is believed half a tonne of cocaine impeded the plane's ability to become airborne.\n\nAuthorities seized the drugs, which amounted to an estimated street value of 80-million-dollars. It seems the plane crashing had a fair bit to do with the drug import being thwarted. Slam dunk Your snooked ! What a bunch of party poopers.
