NSW Greens releases policy to reintroduce state-based carbon pricing scheme | Sky News AustraliaThe NSW Greens has released a new policy to reintroduce a state-based carbon pricing scheme ahead of the state election. \n\nFormer Northern Territory Chief Minister Adam Giles says the policy is ‘madness’ and the Greens need a ‘re-birthing’ as their vote is continuing to go down.\n\n‘They’ve lost what they used to stand for, which is about the environment and are trying to be all things for all people … whether Di Natale is the right bloke to do it, I’m not sure.’ \n\n\n\n\n\n Greens have become the party of feminism and metoo witch hunts. Men who have had a gutful of this behaviour will not vote for the Greens!

NSW festival cancelled due to state govt imposing ‘excessive rules’ | Sky News AustraliaNSW music festival Psyfari has been cancelled due to the state government imposing ‘excessive rules’ and a fee of $200,000 for extra police security. \n\nThe festival organiser claims the music festival industry is being ‘deliberately killed off’ by the NSW government. \n\nJournalist Mike Jeffreys says, ‘If it were it up to me, I‘d be inclined to come down more heavily on the individual. I am so much against this idea of imposing a one-size fits all solution.’\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Or would that be the drug taking industry? Correct. There's no reason for Police & police sniffer dogs to police people for personal possession or use of MDMA. Drug/Pill testing reduces risks & harms just like what's afforded to food & alcohol. Politicians policy is the problem & they're causing more harm than events. I would have thought the idiots doing drugs at the Festivals were to blame for the crackdown...or am I wrong? And what about the promoters turning a blind eye in the first place? No let's just blame the Govt, much easier than addressing the actual problem.

Our government needs to put Australia first: Credlin | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says Australia should stop signing international treaties ‘full of good intentions’, which ‘impinge’ on sovereignty. \n\nThe NSW Land and Environment Court chief judge last week ruled against a proposed coal mine near Gloucester on the mid-north coast, saying it would increase the greenhouse gas emissions that Australia has committed to reducing. \n\nMs Credlin says ‘let's not elect governments that are fixated with striking a pose on the international stage ahead of safeguarding the rights and livelihoods of Australians here at home, the very people they're supposed to serve.’ If the rest of the world becomes uninhabitable due to climate change we'll be right jack! Thankfully you're no longer in a position to do this. Should we abrogate all responsibility to international polity?

Nobody wants to see Australia's borders weakened: McCormack | Sky News AustraliaFULL INTERVIEW: Deputy Prime Minister Michael McCormack says the passage of the medivac bill could weaken Australia's border security.\n\nThe medivac bill is designed to give doctors a greater say over whether asylum seekers in offshore detention centres can be flown to Australia for medical treatment, though still allows the Home Affairs minister to reject transfers on security grounds.\n\nMr McCormack claimed the legislation will also allow 'spivs, and rapists and murderers' to be transferred to Australia for medical treatment, which is factually incorrect according to the legislation.\n\nLabor says the bill is only designed to allow sick asylum seekers to gain access to medical treatment in Australia.\n AlboMP The neg gearing and franking credit policies are horrendous. They are bad politically and leak votes. It fits the LNP narrative and it may cost you seats. AlboMP I agree, the problem for me is I do not like most of the policies. But in saying that it is clear what you intend to do if elected. AlboMP Thanks for opening the borders to sick, single male muslim phoney refugees who are laughing at us as they earn $5.00pr hr cash in hand in their countrymens's shops while getting the dole and free medicare etc, etc etc. from us taxpayers.
