PM compares National Cabinet meeting to 'getting kids in the car' | Sky News AustraliaElection concerns are playing a key role in shaping the National Cabinet’s political debate on the controversial topic of borders according to Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.\n\n“The view within National Cabinet and at senior levels of the federal government is that although Queensland and Western Australia are now very firm on their hard borders … both state governments are likely to change their minds after their elections in October and March respectively,” he said.\n\n“One thing seems certain; if the Queensland Chief Health Officer continues to insist on no community transmission from a city over 28 days it will be very hard to see Queensland every opening up again to Sydney and Melbourne”.\n\nMr Clennell also pointed out Prime Minister Scott Morrison was aware he could lose the next federal election likely to be held in late 2021 if he pushed the border debate too far.\n\nThe Prime Minister has the option of taking interstate border closures to the High Court, forcing border legislation through parliament, or threatening to withdraw JobKeeper support if Premier’s refuse to open the borders, he said. \n\nCommenting on the situation Mr Morrison said Premiers 'need to ensure they are not putting needless handbrakes on our economic recovery,” however his frustration was evident when he compared National Cabinet to “having to get kids in a car” after failing to get a national hotspot definition at Friday’s meeting.\n\n“The PM soon rescued himself from this by pointing out to the reporter they were all adults in the room,” Mr Clennell said.\n\nImage: Getty \n\n

'This thing can turn': Biden’s election 'is a foregone conclusion until it’s not' | Sky News AustraliaFormer Republican Congressman Zach Wamp says President Donald Trump’s numbers are not looking good in lead up to the November election, but that can change quickly as evidenced in the 2016 election. \n\n“Hillary Clinton’s election was a forgone conclusion until it wasn’t, and Joe Biden’s election is a foregone conclusion until it’s not,” he said. \n\n“This thing can turn and I don’t think when you look at the polls and it still shows Biden with a 10-point lead among the popular vote that that translates into electoral victory. \n\n“We don’t elect presidents here by who gets the most votes, we elect them based on who gets the most electors under the electoral college system. \n\n“If he gets those Midwest seats he could lose the popular vote by as much as four million votes and still under our constitution be re-elected as President.” \n\nMr Wamp said Mr Trump proved himself on trade in the past four years but let the country down with his personality. \n\n“He’s put his foot down on trade, on national security and foreign policy, and frankly his supreme court appointments have been consistent and constitutional,” he said. \n\n“But the way he treats people is completely unacceptable. He is not a role model for our children.' \n\nMr Wamp said the President also acted irresponsibly with the Budget, saying “it’s been reckless”. \n\n“Even before COVID we were running trillion dollar annual deficits, and that’s not the conservative thing to do,” he said. \n\nImage: AP
