Sky News host Rowan Dean says the jury is in and says categorically “Hydroxychloroquine saves lives” and Australians must be given access to the drug. Mr Dean said Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly, along with his deputy Nick Coatsworth and Labor frontbencher Chris Bowen “stand condemned” for their continuous rejections of the drug.
Hydroxychloroquine has been touted by many as a potential treatment to COVID-19, however Dr Kelly declared to the Australian people it was not effective. Mr Dean said “the jury says very clearly, if you look at all the studies … Hydroxychloroquine is consistently effective against COVID-19 when used early and in the right combination with other drugs”.

Australia must 'normalise' relations with China without 'trading away' core values | Sky News AustraliaLiberal Senator Andrew Bragg says it is 'very troubling' to hear Australia no longer has any correspondents in China following the rushed removal of two Australian journalists over fears for their safety.\n\nJournalists Bill Birtles and Michael Smith landed in Sydney yesterday after being evacuated from China by the Department of Foreign Affairs after Chinese authorities demanded they present themselves for questioning in relation to Cheng Lei, an Australian journalist who was detained in Beijing last month. \n\nMr Bragg told Sky News it was a “regrettable” situation but he looked forward “to the normalisation of relations over the medium term”. \n\n“I don’t think it’s a very good look to have effectively expelled Australian journalists,” he said. \n\n“Not only does it deprive us of real media, real intelligence on what’s happening on the ground but it also is a bit of a vote of no confidence in our day-to-day engagement.”\n\nWhen asked whether it would be a good move for Australia to begin expelling Chinese diplomats from the country, Mr Bragg said they would be hard-pressed to find the government “stooping to use those sorts of tactics”. \n\n“We don’t engage in censorship in this country,” he said. \n\n“The reality is, China is an important country to Australia, it will be important to our future and we need to focus on normalising relations over the medium term without trading away any of the values that we hold dear.” \n\nImage: Getty

Communist China 'putting Australia in a new category' amid deteriorating relations | Sky News AustraliaThe Communist Party of China may have decided to 'take Australia out of one category of countries that it deals with' as the bilateral relationship between the two nations continues to deteriorate says Melbourne University Professor Michael Wesley. \n\nAustralia no longer has any correspondents in China following the rushed removal of two Australian journalists over fears for their safety.\n\nProfessor Wesley said if the strategic partnership isn't dead between the two nations, 'it's certainly on life support'. \n\n'It's hard to tell at this stage whether this is another step in a slow tightening of the pressure on Australia by Beijing,' Professor Wesley said. \n\n'Or whether China has simply decided to take Australia out of one category of countries that it deals with, which up until five or six years ago was seen to be a relatively friendly country to China, and simply put it in another category. \n\n'That is a country that China will deal with on a pragmatic basis but with no pretense of any closeness and no favours done on either side.' \n\n'It's certainly starting to look like the latter of those to me,' he said. \n\n'It is very hard to see how the bilateral relationship is going to return to a level of, let's say pre-2012 where there were close and cordial relations between the Australian and Chinese governments'. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia
