Sky News host Chris Kenny says every so often some elements of the union movement “show their true colours”.
“The only reason the Albanese Labor government is trying to change industrial relation laws nationally is to give the unions more power, to pay its political dues to the union movement that funds it, supports it, campaigns for it, and of course controls the Labor Party,” he said.
“And the new laws will pass parliament, will please the union movement and will hurt small business.”

COP27 ‘loss and damage’ fund could see ‘additional $2 trillion’ transferred to foreign nations each yearSky News host Chris Kenny says the COP27, which wrapped up last week, “may well be remembered as the greatest heist in Egypt since Tutankhamun's Tomb was robbed”. “Because the agreement to advance the so-called ‘loss and damage’ fund, or reparations from developed countries to developing nations, could see the additional transfer of $2 trillion … every year,” he said. “And this comes on top of the trillions of dollars that developed countries already spend on foreign aid in developing countries, which is something I strongly support. “But as our climate minister Chris Bowen celebrates and flies home, we're left to wonder why on earth Australia would support this item on the COP agenda.” Mr Kenny said this will amount to “more money being spent on climate gestures beyond our control” and “more economic pain for us”. “And very likely the diversion of some of our foreign aid that otherwise would be spent on crucial education, health and governance programs.”
