No wonder Australia is in strife when politicians listen to ‘alarmist clowns’: Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says rampant incompetence along with “ridiculous fearmongering” about the virus has led to the overreaction by the states which has done extraordinary damage to society. \n\nMr Kenny said the fearmongering rife throughout the whole pandemic has not been limited to politicians and bureaucrats. \n\n“Once a fear merchant, always a fear merchant, Tim Flannery, has popped out to re-run his climate alarmism complete with a new virus angle,” he said. \n\nMr Flannery – who previously claimed dams in NSW would never see rain again – has recently spoken about “unprecedented, climate-fuelled megafires that were extinguished in February by damaging, climate-influenced floods”. \n\nHowever, Mr Flannery has now taken his “fearmongering” to include the virus where he links it to the aforementioned crises through the “great aerial ocean,” according to Mr Kenny. \n\n“The coronavirus also travels unseen through the great aerial ocean, insinuating itself in lung after lung, killing person after person, until it threatens our health system, economy and society,” he said.\n\n“There you go climate alarmist, and virus alarmism, all of a muchness to Tim. \n\n“It is a scary world out there, if global warming doesn’t get you, the virus will. \n\n“Some politicians listen to these clowns, no wonder the country is in strife.” \n\nImage: Getty

Australia must ‘build first’ before opening the doors to more migration | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says before Australia throws open the doors to migrants after the pandemic, there should be strong consideration on the “right values that we should all share” and the right facilities we all need.\n\n“With so much of normal life restricted, supposedly for our own good during the pandemic, thank God at least one part of government is still focussed on our freedoms,” Ms Credlin said.\n\nActing Immigration Minister Alan Tudge has just released a new version of the citizenship test designed to ensure new Australians understand and appreciate modern Australian values.\n\n“We can't be a cohesive community without adherence to the law, respect for our institutions, pride in our past, hope for our future, and affection and esteem for our fellow Australians,” Ms Credlin said.\n\n“The Australian experience is about people coming to a new land, wanting more freedom to live their lives, and being prepared to work hard to get ahead.\n\n“Especially now, with Melbourne surrounded by a 'ring of steel', in case someone tries to escape, it's timely we should remember that, and celebrate it”.\n\nHowever, Ms Credlin said the right economic considerations should be made, not just the “lazy economics” of higher immigration equals higher GDP growth.\n\n“Integrating migrants doesn't just mean inculcating the right values that we all should share; it also means building the right facilities that we all will need,” she said.\n\n“Before our population grows by another 15 per cent in a decade, we really should insist on building the water, power and transport infrastructure needed for everyone who's already here to keep their quality of life.\n\n“Build it first, then open the doors.”\n
