Sky News host Alan Jones says former prime minister Malcolm Turnbull “thought he was such a gift” to the Liberal Party, but in reality had “no policy instincts at all”.
Mr Jones said since Minister of Home Affairs Peter Dutton “made the first strike” against Mr Turnbull – for which “the party is grateful” – Turnbull has done “nothing but snipe from the sidelines”.
“He was in Canberra yesterday, having another shot at the Morrison Government over coal fired power,” he said. “As with most things Turnbull these days, his observations dripped with hypocrisy”. Image: Getty

Gas-fired power will ‘save Australia’ | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says amid the debate surrounding the feasibility of renewables and coal, it will actually be “gas-fired power that saves the day in Australia”. \n\nMr Kenny said Tuesday’s parliamentary sitting saw more of federal politicians “tearing themselves apart” over coal-fired generation. \n\nGovernment MPs continue to trade blows after Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced $4 million funding for a feasibility study into a new coal plant in Collinsville.\n\nMr Kenny said the discussion around a new coal plant is 'is not the be-all and end all when it comes to our energy need”. \n\n“With so much renewable power already in place … and with all the climate activism, it will be gas-fired power that saves the day in Australia.\n\n“More coal-fired baseload power would be a good thing … [but] the sooner we get plenty of fast-start gas generation the better.” \n

Australia is 'routinely slammed' for emissions reductions by the 'climate cult' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Peta Credlin says the “one-sided climate protests” which predominantly target Australia and “Trump’s America”, show how the “climate cult is less about reducing emissions than affirming belief”.\n\nBoth Australia and the US have reduced the carbon emissions by “13 per cent since 2005,” a stark contrast to Canada led by the “ultra-woke” Justin Trudeau who have cut emissions by only two per cent in the same time.\n\nAlthough Australia is “routinely slammed” for reportedly “not doing enough”, it is “one of very few countries” who have reliably met its emissions targets, Ms Credlin said.\n\nThe “climate zealots”, said the Sky News host, believe meeting emissions reductions targets - “as Australia is doing' - is not “nearly as important” as proclaiming that “climate change is the world’s gravest problem”.\n\n“We shouldn't allow the climate zealots to misrepresent the facts because compromising our economic fundamentals to strike a pose overseas is a betrayal of our countries future security,” said Ms Credlin.\n\nImage: Getty\n
