Sky News host Chris Kenny has applauded the work done by Education Minister Dan Tehan saying, “he is doing what is best for the kids, the schools and society”.
On Thursday, Mr Tehan had warned independent schools must reopen for term two or risk having their funding cut by the federal government.
The government's Medical Expert panel has assured the community it is safe to send their children to school, but many parents have chosen to keep their children at home. “I've been hot on this schooling issue for weeks as you know,” Mr Kenny said. Mr Kenny said, “well done Dan Tehan” for his Thursday announcement. “He is saying they must be open for students whose parents want them to attend".

World Health Organisation and Communist China ‘engaging in deplorable actions’: Kenny | Sky News AustraliaThe deadly coronavirus pandemic has shed light on 'the evil deceptions of the Chinese communist regime' which has subsequently caused thousands of premature coronavirus induced deaths according to Sky News host Chris Kenny. \n\n'Apart from creating chaos, tens of thousands of premature deaths and shutting down the global economy, the coronavirus pandemic has shed some light on some home truths,” Mr Kenny said. \n\n“The way Beijing silenced and intimidated the early medical whistleblowers in Wuhan, the way it denied the virus, ignored the repercussions and deceived the world about a threat that was coming its way was deplorable,” Mr Kenny said. \n\nHe said as the deadly pathogen was spreading from Wuhan China, the WHO claimed it was striving to “keep the world safe”. \n\n“Yet it was praising China, reassuring the world, and actively campaigning against travel restrictions”. \n\nIt comes as US President Donald Trump has threatened to defund the World Health Organisation after the “China centric” body failed to support early travel bans which could have saved tens of thousands of lives. \n\nMr Trump called for an investigation into the body which has been widely condemned for praising China’s response to the coronavirus despite the fact the country covered up hundreds of cases in 2019.\n\nImage: AP

ABC ‘played a vindictive role’ in ‘attacking’ Cardinal Pell: Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says the whole Cardinal Pell “saga” was “nurtured, encouraged and vindictively promoted by the national broadcaster”. \n\nOn Tuesday, Cardinal Pell had his sexual abuse conviction overturned by Australia’s highest court, in a unanimous decision, after having spent 405 days in jail following an initial ruling which had found him guilty in 2018.\n\n“The fall-out from the Pell case will go on for a long while yet,” Mr Kenny said. \n\nHe said the Cardinal “was wrongly convicted, wrongly imprisoned and a grave injustice was done”. \n\n“Clearly, many who are understandably sickened by the sins of some within the Catholic church, wanted to make an example of George Pell”. \n\nMr Kenny said the ABC has “attacked” those who claimed Pell’s innocence and continues to play “media games”. \n\nHe said work must be done to ensure “we can have faith in the police and law enforcement authorities, and in the justice system”.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n

Ruby Princess fiasco ‘starts and stops’ with the NSW Health Minister | Sky News AustraliaNSW Labor Leader Jodi McKay says responsibility for the Ruby Princess cruise ship debacle “starts and stops with” NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard.\n\nMr Hazzard has refused to take responsibility for allowing the cruise ship to dock and for passengers to be released onto the streets of Sydney and allowed to travel more widely, across the country.\n\n“When you have 14 people who have died, more than 600 cases of COVID-19 and decisions that were made largely conducted in secrecy' an apology and explanation is necessary, Ms McKay said. \n\n“It just comes back to ministerial responsibility,” she told Sky News host Peter Credlin. \n\nWhile the police commissioner said Mr Hazzard had no operational responsibility the state's system of government dictates “that he is responsible,” she said. \n\nMs Credlin said “a criminal investigation could find that Brad Hazzard did not break the law,” however his handling of the situation “wouldn’t pass the pub test”. \n\nImage: Getty\n

Coalition has 'quite deliberately gone around Labor' in JobKeeper negotiations | Sky News AustraliaSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says Attorney General Christian Porter dealing directly with ACTU Secretary Sally McManus over the JobKeeper shows 'the government has quite deliberately gone around the Labor Party'.\n\nMr Porter and Ms McManus were in negotiation over the finer details of the JobKeeper bill on Monday, which Mr Clennell said 'should go through [Wednesday] evening'.\n\n'Everyone knows how important it is for this country to have this legislation passed so it will pass,' he said.\n\nMr Clennell told Sky News host Peta Credlin Labor is expect to 'amend a few things, [but] the government will vote them down'.\n\nHe did raise a few 'big inconsistencies' with the bill, namely how a young casual employee 'only working a few hours a week, suddenly finds themselves on an annual salary of $37,000 … which is wrong'.\n\n'They had to pull it together quickly, they had to pull it through existing payment systems, but that's a glaring inconsistency'.\n\nImage: AP

To some Cardinal George Pell 'will always be guilty' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says the High Court's decision to unanimously quash the conviction of George Pell is not the end of the controversy because 'so many have invested so much in their campaign against him' for crimes others have committed.\n\nOn Tuesday, Carinal Pell had his sexual abuse conviction overturned by Australia's highest court after having spent 405 days in jail following an initial ruling which had found him guilty in 2018.\n\nMs Credlin said 'it was always going to be hard to find an unbiased jury' given the 'real failings of the church in coming to grips with the sexual abuse epidemic' and Cardinal Pell's 'seeming lack of empathy' when it comes to the plight of victims.\n\n'To some, Pell will always be guilty, regardless of the High Court's judgment, because all priests are suspect, and every complainant is to be believed,' she said.\n\nMs Credlin said following the initial guilty verdict in 2018 her faith in the two institutions which had 'done so much to shape my life' - the Catholic Church, and the law - had been seriously challenged.\n\n'After today's judgment, for me at least, the High Court has pretty much restored my faith in our legal system'.\n\nMs Credlin said as difficult, 'dispiriting and gut-wrenching' as the historical sexual abuse crimes which have been committed across the world including Australia may be, it 'cannot justify in the words of the High Court today 'a significant possibility that an innocent person has been convicted because the evidence did not establish guilt to the requisite standard of proof''.\n\nImage: AP
