Sky News host Chris Kenny says sports clubs presenting people with a range of gender options to select from when joining a team is unnecessary and will simply confuse kids. Mr Kenny said when it comes to ticking off the gender of your child on an application to a sporting team, parents are being presented with the options of male, female, the option of preferring not to say a gender, gender binary, gender fluid or ‘differently identify’.
“Shouldn't you just sign up for a team, if there are separate boys’ and girls’ teams, choose one,” he said. “Your gender or your child’s gender, or sex, is your business and their businesses, presumably.” "It's unnecessary, and it seems like activism, or virtue seeking at the very least, and the only thing it can do for kids, is confuse them," he said.

COVID-19 has seen 'dangerous and unprecedented' violation of doctor-patient code | Sky News AustraliaThe extreme politicisation of the debate concerning Hydroxychloroquine has resulted in unprecedented government intrusion upon the doctor-patient relationship according to Concerned Ontario Doctors President Dr Kulvinder Kaur Gill.\n\nHydroxychloroquine has been criminalised in some Australian states despite being clearly listed on the World Health Organisation’s page of essential medications. \n\nDr Gill said following the medical atrocities committed by doctors during World War Two, the International Code of Medical Ethics was formed to protect the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship from any future intrusion by government.\n\n“Now in 2020 we see a very dangerous and unprecedented violation of that very doctor-patient relationship,” she said\n\n“It’s absolutely appalling that we are seeing this unprecedented violation of the doctor-patient relationship where we have many of the developed nations around the world that are actually prohibiting doctors and sanctioning them if it is prescribed to their patients”.\n\n“Such a violation has never occurred before for any medication ever” which points to how “extremely politicised” this discussion about Hydroxychloroquine has become.\n\nImage: AP

Victoria's virus cases are 'too high' to reopen state | Sky News AustraliaPremier Daniel Andrews says Victoria’s virus numbers are “too high” to open the state up and “still too high to put forward a definitive plan”.\n\n“We are seeing a fall across each of the key metrics, the strategy is working and that’s a credit to every Victorian who’s made a powerful contribution to that end,” Mr Andrews said.\n\n“But we just have to stay the course on this, at 100, at 94, or 114, whatever around that number we simply could not open up.\n\n“Those numbers would explode ... we would finish up in perhaps an even worse situation than we have been in recent months.”\n\n'Now, there will be a plan. It will come soon. But it will be one that we can be confident of, not something that potentially gets a few people being happier, but then ultimately has to be revised because it didn't mean much when you first announced it.'\n\nVictoria recorded 114 new coronavirus cases and 11 more deaths on Sunday.\n\nMr Andrews confirmed 472 Victorians are in hospital, 25 are in intensive care and 11 are on a ventilator.\n\nSunday’s reporting brings the state’s death toll from the virus to 524 and the national total to 611.\n\n'There are 4226 cases with unknown origin, that is an increase of three since yesterday’s report,” Mr Andrews said.\n\nPremier Andrews also confirmed there are 1,277 active cases in aged care and 406 active cases among healthcare workers.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia

Violence, arson and looting 'incited' by Democrats and 'whitewashed' by media | Sky News AustraliaThe “unhinged hatred” largely manifested by rioters in Democrat-run states has long been incited by many within the party and whitewashed by the biased mainstream media, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi.\n\n“The democrat's propaganda arm - the bulk of the mainstream media - is all too eager to whitewash the lawless thuggery because reporting on it accurately can only help Trump,” she said.\n\nThis past week violence broke out in Kenosha Wisconsin after a police shooting, and again in Minneapolis after a murder suspect shot himself when police approached.\n\n'This unhinged hatred has long been incited and encouraged by Democrats,' Ms Panahi said.\n\n“In Democrat cities, in Democrat states we have seen brazen acts of violence, arson, looting and property damage by leftist agitators, all captured on video but receiving scant media coverage from Left leaning media outlets.\n\n“That is the modern Left and Joe Biden is their candidate in 2020.'\n\nImage: AP

Daniel Andrews’ 12 month emergency extension plan 'a very bad call' | Sky News AustraliaTreasurer Josh Frydenberg says Daniel Andrews’ plan to extend the state of emergency for 12 months was “a very bad call which ignored the pleas of Victorians”.\n\nThe Victorian Premier's announcement that the government would ask for an 12-month extension sparked confusion and fear that stage four lockdown restrictions would continue for a year.\n\nThe current state of emergency expires on September 13 which is when the six-month legal limit comes to an end and, with it, the legal mechanism allowing the enforcement of stage four restrictions in Victoria.\n\nMr Frydenberg told Sky News he wants to hear a message of 'hope' for the Victorian people.\n\n“Daniel Andrews and the Victorian government need to be talking more about the road out than about a longer road in,' he said.\n\n“It was real overreach when it came to the 12-month extension of emergency powers that he was seeking.\n\n“It is devastating what has happened in Victoria and we are only two weeks away from the end of the so-called stage four restrictions.\n\n“And businesses are in the dark as to how they will get their workers back and their doors open.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia
