Sky News host Chris Kenny says Labor and the Greens are ‘getting away with crazy talk and absurd policies’ targeting climate change and energy, pointing to a left-tilted Q&A appearance on Monday as an example.
Mr Kenny says the show’s final pre-election program featured ‘four people who want to see the end of the Coalition government and one trying to defend it’, with no attempt from the host, Tony Jones, to challenge assertions about climate change. Mr Kenny believes the Coalition has not been strong enough at pointing out the left's climate optimism. He argues Australia's actions can’t change the global climate.

Coalition has a chance with influence of Palmer and Hanson: Kenny | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says his 'rule of thumb' is that the Coalition needs a primary vote of more than 42 to stand a chance of success at a federal election. \n\nThe latest Newspoll shows both major parties saw increases in the primary vote, with the Liberal Party leading Labor 39 to 37 per cent. \n\nWhile the Liberal Party has increased, Mr Kenny says it is still 'three short from that magic 42 number’. \n\nDespite this, he says this year is different due to the joint influence of Pauline Hanson and Clive Palmer, who are polling eight points together. \n\nMr Kenny says ‘this changed dynamic means there is a possibility the Coalition could win with a primary vote as low as 40’. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n\n\n\n\n\n
