Australia's premiers are 'strangling the nation' | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny has labelled Australia’s state leaders – save for New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian – as “political cowards” as they continue to stand by their hard borders. \n\n“They’re blocking borders around the country, and locking down hard in Victoria, despite the pain and collateral damage they're creating,” he said. \n\n“This is beyond a joke. \n\n“The nation united in shutting down, the states are all on board for accepting federal funds for JobKeeper and the like, but there is no consensus on opening up and learning to live with the virus. \n\n“This is what has happened to our premiers, they are single minded, obsessed, and they’re strangling the nation”. \n\nMr Kenny likened the nation’s journey out of the coronavirus pandemic to a “perilous” bus trip which attempted to “keep the states on board, following the same difficult route, where mistakes could have disastrous consequences”. \n\n“The Australian coronavirus bus is in for a rocky ride, not everybody is on board, they all want to go in different direction, and the driver's not in total control.” \n\nImage: News Corp Australia
