“There's an even deeper problem than the urgent insistence that gender is just a matter of personal choice,” Ms Credlin said. "It's the pile-on against anyone who dissents from this latest article of politically correct faith." Tasmanian Senator Claire Chandler published an article about what she labelled the “reality of biological sex,” and as a result has been hauled in front of the Tasmanian Equal Opportunity Commission.

‘Free speech isn’t free’ and Australians are ‘failing to defend it’: Credlin | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says free speech is something which has been protected in blood by past Australian generations, but sadly the people of today take it for granted and fail to defend it.\n\n“Even in my lifetime the change in what we can say, write, even read has been diminished,” Ms Credlin said.\n\n“And the threat just seems to be accelerating.\n\n“Free speech isn’t free, it’s something that’s been protected in blood by Australians in generations past who have fought in our name.\n\n“To give us the sort of liberty today – free speech today – that sadly I think many of us take for granted, and even worse are failing to defend.”\n\nMs Credlin spoke with Tasmanian Senator Claire Chandler, who was hauled in front of the Tasmanian Equal Opportunity Commission after publishing an article about what she labelled the “reality of biological sex”.\n\n“I’m certainly not going to be backing down on my views around women’s sports and women’s sex-based rights,” Ms Chandler said.\n\n“Nor will I be apologising for holding a view and advocating a view that the majority of Australian’s agree with.\n\n“This is a ridiculous situation we find ourselves in, where unelected bureaucrats … are able to put people through the legal ringer, such as myself … in an effort to shut down debate about genuine public policy matters.\n\n“It is deeply concerning in terms of the effects that this is going to have on free speech in this country.”\n

Either the incompetence was so bad, or 'backsides are being covered': Murray | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Paul Murray says it became absolutely clear at the inquiry into hotel quarantine last week that “no one was in charge”.\n\nMr Murray said 'one of the counsels assisting the inquiry made it very clear, last week it became absolutely clear, that no one was in charge.”\n\n“Either the incompetence was so bad that no one could be held responsible, or everyone is covering their backside,” he said. \n\n“Either way, accountability must be there.\n\n“While I understand the human shields that will be there for Chairman Dan on twitter, but the reality is millions of people are locked in their house, given false hope that things are going to get better, but by his own roadmap, even if you hit the average, nothing really changes again, for another month.”\n

At least Victorians are seeing what a 'fascist, left-wing government looks like' | Sky News AustraliaFormer Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger says Victoria, with its lockdowns and restrictions, is “seeing what fascism looks like”.\n\n It comes as the Andrews government is expected to introduce sweeping new powers for public servants, giving them the authority of authorised officers with the ability to indefinitely detain Victorians. \n\nThe bill, which will last until April 2021, gives officers the power to detain people whom they perceive to be a high-risk person (either with COVID-19 or a close contact) and who refuses to comply with health directives.\n\n“You have no freedom of movement after 9 pm now, and between 5 am, so your freedom is restricted,” Mr Kroger told Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\n“Movement is restricted to 5k from your house.\n\n“You’re restricted in who you can visit. You can’t practice your religion. You can only go to funerals in certain numbers.\n\n“People are being arrested in their homes. Pregnant women are arrested in their homes for incitement. You can’t practice free speech.\n\n“And now, you are having people who are not police officers being given the power to arrest people.\n\n“This is a shocking state of affairs in Victoria.\n\n“And now people are seeing what it’s like to have a really fascist left-wing government, and that’s what we have in Victoria, quite frankly.”\n

Donald Trump 'should and will fill the Supreme Court seat before the election' | Sky News AustraliaAdvance Australia Director Liz Storer says US President Donald Trump should fill the seat left vacant by the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg before the upcoming presidential election, which she believes he will certainly do. \n\nAssociate Justice of the United States Supreme Court Ruth Bader Ginsburg died over the weekend aged 87 after a long battle with pancreatic cancer.\n\n President Donald Trump praised the progressive icon upon hearing the news of her death after a campaign rally. \n\nThe vacant seat is set to become a massive political battle, as the President has already indicated he intends to nominate a replacement merely six weeks before the election.\n\nIf President Trump successfully replaced Justice Ginsburg, it would entrench a 6-3 conservative majority.\n\n“I say fill the seat, and I have no doubt that’s exactly what he’s going to do,' Ms Storer told Sky News host Paul Murray\n\n“If for no other reason than, as we know, this election is going to be highly contested no matter who wins, no matter who loses, and we cannot have a supreme court split four-four and go for weeks, maybe months not knowing who’s the leader of the free world.

Victorian government won't fine 'illegal activity, but raided pregnant woman's house' | Sky News AustraliaThe Victorian government is showing double standards by choosing not to administer fines for illegal activity which is spreading COVID but raiding the house of a pregnant lady for allegedly inciting a protest, says Sky News host Paul Murray.\n\nThose breaking lockdown rules are to blame for a coronavirus cluster emerging in Melbourne’s southeast. \n\nThe cluster has grown to 34 cases since September 2 and has spread across five different households in the Casey government area. \n\nIt’s believed the virus was spread from people within the households illegally leaving their five kilometre radius and visiting other households.\n\n“But guess what, no one is being fined in this family,' Mr Murray said. \n\n“No one is being fined in this family for doing the wrong thing, for spreading things around between houses.\n\n“They raided the house of the pregnant lady.\n\n“You’ve seen the people who have literally had their heads stomped on when they escaped from a mental health facility.
