It's time to slash net overseas migration, so spare us your growth and diversity lectures before we suffer the same fate as the UK

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

News this week that we are now importing people faster than we can house them is proof that, as tax-paying citizens, we are in fact the government’s last priority. Not only is the maths on this mind boggling but good luck trying to speak out against the ethos of our much-vaunted Big Australia super speed migration policy pioneered by former PM Kevin Rudd.
Why the biggest threat to women’s sport isn’t testosterone - its cowardice

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

We’ve seen it play out repeatedly. If you dare to say biological men don’t belong in women’s sports then prepare for the pile on. If you speak a truth that many quietly acknowledge but hesitate to voice, you risk being labelled a bigot and transphobic much like author JK Rowling. The biggest threat to women’s sport isn’t testosterone. It’s cowardice. And no “authority” exemplifies that better than the International Olympic Committee.
Woodside CEO cops vicious spray for exposing the ‘Temu’ Gen Zers who export their carbon guilt abroad while preaching about the climate crisis

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

Woodside CEO Meg O’Neill sure raised some hackles this week when she took aim at the double standards of climate crusaders. In her sights were those who bash fossil fuels while rushing to charge their smartphones so they can splurge on cheap goods from online Chinese retailers. But the boss of Australia’s biggest oil and gas producer wasn’t sticking a Boomer-style boot into young Australians, despite the inevitable howls of protest.
‘Hang the rich 2025-style’: Even average earners must oppose Labor’s super tax that guts the foundations of the Australian tax system

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

If a proposed superannuation tax is targeting wealthy Australians - only 0.5 per cent or roughly 80,000 people so the messaging tells us - there’s nothing to worry about, right? Labor’s plan to tax unrealised capital gains on $3 million-plus super balances is about making rich folk pay their way because all the trickery of their complicated wealth is finally being blown open.
Sussan Ley needs a Plan B tucked up her blazer sleeve for the moment the Liberal Party no longer need her as leader

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

When Fiona Scott commented bluntly on Sussan Ley’s longevity as party leader just hours after she was elected, the Liberal Party Vice President was blasted for throwing a sister under the bus. “Well, you know, it could be a day - it won't be a day, I'm being cheeky - but, I mean, look, you don't know what the political tides will bring,” Ms Scott told Nine’s Today show on Wednesday.
Louise Roberts: Sneering, condescending Adam Bandt blaming everyone but himself for the Greens' fall from grace

1 month 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 month 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 months 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

2 months 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

2 months 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.
