Louise Roberts: Sneering, condescending Adam Bandt blaming everyone but himself for the Greens' fall from grace

5 days ago | skynews.com.au | Louise Roberts

Token DJ and antagonistic Greens leader Adam Bandt this week blamed everyone but himself for losing his federal Melbourne seat. Former Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, the Trump effect and the daft people who didn’t vote Green were all part of the polling booth vendetta apparently. On that note, despite the strategic missteps in his campaign, Mr Dutton is a decent, considered person.
Sorry doesn’t cut it: How female voters turned on the Coalition’s confusing cost-of-living pitch in the space of just a few months

1 week ago | skynews.com.au | Louise Roberts

Just over two hours after polls closed on Saturday, the election results unfolded into a story not only about party leaders but about two women. There was the rightly-proud Jodie Haydon planting a passionate smacker on her victorious fiancé Anthony Albanese, now a back-to-back PM. And then stoic Kirilly Dutton, her eyes brimming and mustering up a smile on stage for her husband Peter while he apologised to the nation for losing the only political fight of his life that mattered.
Monique Ryan turning her back on Sky News host a spectacular own goal for the Teal movement and its promise to champion women

2 weeks ago | skynews.com.au | Louise Roberts

The Teal independents swept into office three years ago on a promise to “fix” the bloke-heavy culture and give women a voice in federal politics. Transparency and that ubiquitous deep blue-green remains their self-appointed brand, designed to appeal to female constituents - working mums like me now searching for the right person to vote for on May 3.
Put your money where your mouth is: The basic question neither Peter Dutton nor Anthony Albanese can answer on housing

3 weeks ago | skynews.com.au | Louise Roberts

Why has it been so hard for a couple of cashed-up politician dads, both vying for the job of Prime Minister, to admit whether they will help their children with a deposit so they can buy a house? I don’t accept it was a gotcha moment or a trick question during press conferences this week. Rather, it was a reasonable inquiry and, as far as campaign misfires go, it was a real doozy for both Anthony Albanese and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton.
Even the Greens don't care about climate change: Australia's socialist elite resorting to class warfare after realising the green agenda is no longer a vote winner | Sky News Australia

1 month ago | skynews.com.au | Louise Roberts

Ever since Adam Bandt’s National Press Club speech this week, it is clear the hard-left Greens preference social engineering ahead of saving the planet. The climate change banner no longer wins the Greens the votes and attention they crave. Class warfare, however, does. Once upon a time, the party feasibly stood for something. Arresting climate change was their mission and political anchor. It was love the trees, love the ocean and protect the earth for future generations.
I went on the all-inclusive Caribbean cruise which visits three theme parks and even stops at a private island

IN two weeks I’ve screamed my way round a trio of Florida theme parks, sailed on the world’s biggest cruise ship and explored three idyllic islands in the Caribbean. Oh, and I have even held an alligator. A jam-packed adventure?Absolutely. Exhausting? Not in the slightest. That’s the beauty of Thrill & Chill, a bespoke holiday package curated by the specialist cruise experts at cruise.co.uk.

For Australians preparing to vote in the May 3 Federal Election, there is no bandwidth for ideological posturing from either Labor or the Coalition. We’re more plugged into politics than ever, yet the everyday chatter I hear - especially among younger citizens - speaks to growing scepticism about whether our leaders have the competence, vision or urgency to steer the ship.
'Worrying shift': Liberals can no longer pretend to be the party of lower taxes after Dutton's pitiful $14-a-week cost of living pledge

1 month ago | skynews.com.au | Louise Roberts

As we navigate the May 3 federal election circus, we’ve had grandstanding from both Labor and the Coalition about giving us Nirvana-like cost of living relief. Neither party, I would argue, has a plan to comprehensively address it and that meaningful relief, skewered by the anger we feel whilst looking at our bloated credit cards and rattling bank accounts, is a long way off.
Louise Roberts: Speaking truth to Donald Trump is a lot harder than Malcolm Turnbull thinks it is

2 months ago | skynews.com.au | Louise Roberts

In our era of culture wars, is US President Trump really a bully or simply a leader flexing a strategy he rode to success on - one that prioritises American geopolitical and economic interests. I question the wisdom of Malcolm Turnbull, who this week presented his moral high ground argument that Trump is the equivalent of a kid who stole someone’s school lunch and refused to give it back.
