Labor is asking Australians to ‘vote blind’ | Sky News AustraliaLabor is asking Australia to ‘vote blind’ by not revealing the cost of its climate change policies, says Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\nTwo days out from the election, Mr Kenny says it’s clear that voters will go the polls not knowing the impact Labor's policies will have on the economy. \n\nThe political commentator says it’s ‘unprecedented in the history of Australian politics’ for a party to get through an entire campaign without answering questions over the cost of its central policies.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n You got an answer. Hey Chris ... didn’t you work for the liberals. Are you doing it pro bono now? Chris Kenny is talking shit as usual though isn't he? That’s surprisingly biased sounding coming from Chris Kenny. He is normally so fair and equal in his reporting 🙄

Vote 2019: Morrison officially launches Liberal Party campaignPrime Minister Scott Morrison has highlighted his personal story, and those of ordinary Australians, at the coalition campaign launch in Melbourne on Sunday. Very thin offering. Nothing for pensioners Hypocrite A+. As with every time his mouth has opened, he spoke of the opposition and nothing about his own policies. He has no respect and history will recall him as the bloke who knifed a sitting PM 🤬 What is his personal story to Australia being a foreign white European-Anglo-Christian immigrant or immigrant descendant in Australia? Why did they come? Did the natives want them here? Did they come by boats? Was Australia their nearest safe country?
