Former prime minister Paul Keating today “unleashed” on the Labor Party, journalists, Joe Biden, America, the British Prime Minister and Anthony Albanese in a “stinging Press Club address”, says Sky News host Sharri Markson.

“No one was off limits in Keating’s speech which attacked Australia over the AUKUS deal announced yesterday by Albanese, Biden and Sunak – he dubbed it the Kabuki show,” Ms Markson said. “He said it was the worst international decision by an Australian Labor government in more than a century. Keating claims China has never wanted to attack us and never will.”
Ms Markson said Mr Keating’s performance today reminds us why he’s the “strongest orator of our time” – but on China, he was “utterly inconsistent, completely hypocritical and showed questionable logic”. “And he deliberately ignored China’s egregious human rights atrocities, its coercive conduct and its aggressive military build-up – the very actions that have forced Australia into a higher embrace with the United States and Britain.”

Liberal Party values ‘don’t exist anymore’ on ‘mainland Australia’The NSW government’s latest “state-sponsored saving scheme” comes on top of a host of other “taxpayer giveaways” by the NSW Liberals, says Sky News host Chris Kenny. 'This stuff is all expensive, it’s all intrusive, it churns money, sucking it up in taxes, wasting it on bureaucracies and paperwork, and then sending out what's left in inefficient, populist handouts that are more about trying to buy votes than deliver good outcomes,' Mr Kenny said. 'And typically, much of this has been advertised, before the election campaign of course, with the use of – you guessed it – more taxpayers' dollars. 'You see the thing here is that Liberal Party values don't really exist anymore on mainland Australia, no matter what happens at the New South Wales election.'

Don’t underestimate ‘moral blackmail’ from Voice ‘Yes’ campaignersDespite the history of referendums failing, don't underestimate the power of the “moral blackmail,” from the Yes side on the Indigenous Voice, says Sky News host Peta Credlin. “And don't underestimate the weight of money that’s appearing already behind the Yes case, woke billionaires, politically correct companies, and governments claiming to counter 'misinformation' but actually using your taxpayer dollars on a pro-Voice campaign,' Ms Credlin said. “Once the actual vote draws near, and people are finally forced to think about it, those wall-to-wall ads that we’ll see from the Yes campaign will move votes. “It's just how many they move, that’s the question.” “The Voice will only be defeated by a grassroots campaign among the quiet Australians.”

Biden administration’s ‘weakness’ is emboldening tyrantsFormer British commander Richard Kemp says he considers the US’ “catastrophic” withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 to be the “approximate cause” of Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. “I think Putin saw America and then made the decision that he was happy to invade and did so,” Mr Kemp said. He said Iran and Saudi Arabia resuming diplomatic ties is another problem and has been brought about by President Joe Biden, who has “treated Saudi Arabia extremely badly” since he started his administration. “And at the same time he’s been doing his best to give Iran more and more power so I think that is another consequence of the weakness of the administration in Washington today.”
