Sky News host Chris Kenny says “unscientific fear-mongering, not climate science” is being pushed by presidential candidate Joe Biden and the Democrat party at large.
Mr Biden has announced if he is elected president in November, the United States will rejoin the Paris agreement and achieve zero net emissions by 2050. His words have been backed up by a special Democrat policy committee which has worked to marry the more moderate Democrat aims with the hard-left extremism of the Bernie Sanders camp.
Mr Kenny said the catastrophist approach to climate politics adopted by left-wing groups frightens children and uses every natural disaster to pretend the world is “facing Armageddon”. “This is typical of the misleading pseudoscience that passes for political debate these days," he said.

Border closures ‘inspired by premiers avoiding political responsibility’ | Sky News AustraliaThere is no doubt the border closures across Australia are inspired by premiers and their determination to avoid political responsibility for virus infections, according to Sky News host Chris Kenny.\n\nEarlier this week the border between Australia’s two biggest states Victoria and New South Wales was closed to contain the spread of the coronavirus outbreak plaguing parts of Melbourne.\n\nSouth Australia also announced a border closure with Victoria, and Queensland will not allow Victorians to enter the state when its borders open on Friday.\n\n“There is every chance these state border closures that we have seen on and off for months, are unconstitutional,” Mr Kenny said.\n\n“Parts of Melbourne are a ghost town again, tower blocks are still sealed off, the residents trapped by public health orders imposed with the assistance of police, likewise there are checkpoints around the vast suburban fringe of the Victorian capital preventing people leaving to the regions.\n\n“And yet, and yet, there are hard borders too, isolating Victoria from the rest of the country.\n\n“There's no outbreak in Mildura, for instance, people can't travel from Melbourne to Mildura so why can't Victorians in Mildura cross the river into New South Wales or scoot down the highway to Renmark in South Australia.\n\n“I think we need to isolate outbreaks, trace contact, keep the virus under control, but preventing travel across state borders is, in health terms, imposing a completely arbitrary boundary.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia

The abolition of the justice system will not solve indigenous crime | Sky News AustraliaThe abolition of prisons promoted by Indigenous activist Vickie Roach would ultimately “hurt more vulnerable people in indigenous communities” NSW One Nation Leader Mark Latham says.\n\nMs Roach’s demand mirrors the Black Lives Matter push for the replacement of law enforcement systems including the police force and prisons with more comprehensive social services. \n\nMr Latham told Sky News host Andrew Bolt while activists “talk about the harm of colonisation, the truth is the greatest harm to indigenous people in Australia today comes from other indigenous people”.\n\n“All the statistics show, all the data confirms that when the police arrest an indigenous person it’s normally in the context of protecting the safety and well-being of another indigenous person”.\n\nPrisons exist to punish and rehabilitate criminals and protect the vulnerable, Mr Latham said. \n\n“Roach does a great disservice to her own community by peddling this line”. \n

China is heading toward 'implosion' because communist regimes 'do not survive' | Sky News AustraliaFormer US Naval Intelligence Officer John Jordan says China’s communist regime is bound to “implode” if it continues to form an aggressive front. \n\nThe government unveiled a plan on Thursday to provide safe access to Hong Kongers fleeing China’s new national security laws which criminalised secession, subversion, terrorism and colluding with other countries. \n\n “Communism, central planning, state-owned power, the autocratic Marxist governments do not survive, they do tend to implode,” Mr Jordan told Sky News. \n\n “Unless China adopts market-oriented policies and embraces freedom, which is also very dangerous to communism, it seems like that is the likely medium-term fate of the regime.” \n\nImage: AP

The ‘real virus’ affecting Australians is the ‘draconian response’: Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaThe rest of Australia should not be associated with the “incompetence of the Victorian government” amid the prime minister claiming “we are all Melburnians now,” according to Sky News host Alan Jones.\n\nVictoria has recorded another 165 coronavirus cases in the past 24 hours taking the state’s total active cases to just under 900, with 41 people currently in hospital.\n\nThe Victorian government has returned Metropolitan Melbourne and the Mitchell Shire to stage three lockdowns, as a result of the sharp increase of community based transmission.\n\nIn response to the burgeoning crisis in Melbourne, the prime minister declared “we are all Melburnians now”.\n\n“We are not part of, nor should we be identified with, the incompetence of the Victorian government,” Mr Jones said.\n\nHe said Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has once again got his “hand out to Canberra” for more taxpayer money to 'fund this incompetence'. \n\nTreasurer Josh Frydenberg confirmed on Tuesday night the lock down will cost the economy six billion in the coming weeks.\n\n“As a result, Victoria is sending a quarter of the national economy back into recession,” Mr Jones said. \n\n“I think the real virus affecting all of us, may well be, the draconian response to all of this.”\n\nImage: Getty
