Broadcaster Michael McLaren says the evidence on which lockdowns are based has been kept secret, but it “should be public”.
Sky News host Alan Jones said NSW Premier Galdys Berejiklian has legislated only the bridal party would be allowed to dance at a wedding reception. “Where does this come from?” Mr Jones said. “Put a piece of paper on the table that demonstrates to me why you are able to make that number.
” “We laugh, but this is everywhere, the curfew in Melbourne, all of this, what evidence is it based on?” Mr McLaren said. “It’s all now secret because of this National Cabinet, cabinet in confidence. “We’re not fighting an enemy with guns and helmets. “We’re fighting a virus, it can’t hear what we say. “This should be public.”

States should make border decisions based on premiers' 'calculations' | Sky News AustraliaShadow Early Childhood Education Minister Amanda Rishworth has rejected suggestions Queensland should follow the example set by South Australia and reopen borders to all Australians except Victorians. \n\n“Every state and territory has got to make the decision based on their own information and own calculation,” she told Sky News. \n\n“Steven Marshall as premier has rejected the prime minister’s calls in the past, he’s now made a decision based on his own advice and I think all premiers need to have the responsibility to do that. \n\n“The prime minister does not take responsibility when cases go up, when cases go down. \n\n“So each state should be responsible for doing it themselves.” \n\n\n\n\n

Meghan Markle broke the 'profound and special bond' between Harry and William | Sky News AustraliaThe ballad of John and Yoko is a cautionary tale for Harry and Meghan who like John and Yoko are convinced “the press are trying to crucify them,” according to Sky News host Rowan Dean.\n\nMr Dean said they are still though inclined to grab “every headline at every opportunity”.\n\nThe Sussexes recently made their US television debut where they encouraged American citizens to register and vote, to “reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity”.\n\nHarry also decried how he has never been able to vote in the UK, and not being a US citizen is unable to do so in November.\n\n“Poor Harry desperately trying to play the victim card because he's, um, not allowed to vote in the UK how tragic. Oh and why would that be? because he's sixth in line to the throne,” Mr Dean said.\n\nMr Dean drew further comparisons between the two ‘woke’ couples, like the similarity between Yoko famously breaking up John’s friendship with Paul McCartney, and how “Meghan has broken the profound and special bond” between Harry and Prince William.\n\n“Both John Lennon and Harry Windsor lost their beautiful charismatic mothers when they were young. Is this what made them both so susceptible to these two arrogantly destructive and selfish women,” he said.\n\n“Yoko, for instance, always fancied herself as the musical equal to John Lennon, often with hilarious results. Meghan has now declared she has presidential ambitions, which is equally cringe-worthy.\n\n“Yoko Ono managed to tear apart the greatest rock 'n' roll band the world has ever known, much in the same way that Meghan appears to have her heart set on destroying the greatest constitutional monarchy on the planet.”\n

Victoria is now the welfare state due to ‘scandalously stupid’ Andrews decisions | Sky News AustraliaVictoria has become the welfare state thanks to the “scandalously stupid decisions” of the Daniel Andrews government, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi.\n\nVictoria’s second wave has so far claimed over 780 lives with 99 per cent of cases linked back to the failures of hotel quarantine which was put in the hands of untrained security guards.\n\nThe state’s death rate per million of the population is 116, a number far higher than the rest of Australia’s rate of less than five per million.\n\nMs Panahi said Victoria has become the “welfare state” because it is now receiving 60 per cent of all JobKeeper payments even though it only amounts to 25 per cent of the population.\n\nIt comes as Victorian Health Minister Jenny Mikakos resigned from her post following the premier identifying her as the person responsible for the hotel quarantine program.\n\nPremier Daniel Andrews fronted the COVID-19 Melbourne Hotel Quarantine Inquiry on Friday and laid part of the blame of the debacle directly at the feet of Ms Mikakos, prompting her resignation the next day.\n\nThere has been a “systematic coverup” which has seen senior bureaucrats, ministers, and the premier all claim under oath that they themselves were not responsible for the “disastrous decision” to use private security guards, but also that they don’t know who was, Ms Panahi said.\n\n“The collective amnesia of the Victorian government and bureaucracy is further proof that this lot are treating the Victorian public like we're gullible mugs who'll believe anything no matter how fanciful or absurd,” she said.\n\n“The premier is fond of saying that the buck stops with him.\n\n“Well premier in the real world that means you hand in your resignation for overseeing the biggest public policy disaster in Victorian history.”\n
