US Political Analyst Aidan Smith says there is “a lot of sympathy” for Donald Trump in his Republican base, regarding his legal battles. Mr Smith told Sky News Australia that for a common swing voter hearing the crime accusations, it would “hurt” Donald Trump’s candidacy. “I think a lot of commentators who are really contrarian about this and insisted that the convictions would somehow help him – just doesn’t really seem to be following through in terms of poll numbers.”

Peter Dutton and John Howard have spoken at a Liberal Party function in Sydney. The Opposition Leader used his speech to call Prime Minister Anthony Albanese a 'decent man' – but says he is out of his depth as a leader.

Sky News host Caleb Bond says Joe Biden is an “aging chump with mashed potato for brains”. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has called videos of Joe Biden's gaffes 'cheap fakes'. “The Democrats don’t want you to see that,” Mr Bond said. “And if you do, they want you to believe it’s a cheapfake or a deepfake.”

Sky News host Caleb Bond says the use of terms like 'misinformation' by the Democratic Party to defend Joe Biden's gaffes seems "curiously close" to the idea of 'fake news'. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has called videos of Joe Biden's gaffes' cheap fakes'. "Democrat supporters pilloried Trump for calling out 'fake news' and were adamant that it was really just news Trump didn't like," Mr Bond said. "The Democrats are now doing exactly the same thing. "They can never again call out Trump for invoking the term 'fake news' because they work straight from his playbook."

Political Journalist John Fund says Joe Biden and Donald Trump are “the least popular set of candidates we’ve ever had in modern American history”. Joe Biden and Donald Trump are set to face off in the first presidential debate on June 27. “What we have here is a situation in which over half of the American public believes that both Trump and Biden shouldn’t be running,” Mr Fund said.

Political Journalist John Fund says the “two-party duopoly” in America is not only alive and well – but “crushing” any alternative voices. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has been excluded from the CNN-hosted debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. “I think that CNN caved in to pressure from the Trump and Biden campaigns,” Mr Fund said. “They came up with criteria which would basically create a catch-22.”

Nuclear for Australia Founder William Shackel says nuclear power is one of the only “guaranteed pathways” for Australia to decarbonise. This follows Opposition leader Peter Dutton revealing the Coalition’s nuclear plan, including the seven sites where they plan to establish the nuclear power stations. “100 per cent renewables is not proven,” Mr Shackel said. “No country has been able to decarbonise its whole economy based on Australia’s risky, current plan.”

Sky News Digital Editor Jack Houghton says “very little” of the Labor government’s criticisms of nuclear energy have a “basis in reality”.

The Daily Mirror Royal Editor Russell Myers discusses reports of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reaching out to Princess Catherine before her public return to the spotlight. "It hasn’t really gone to plan for them over the last couple of years, there has been a few mishaps, certainly not only with the interviews that they keep on doing, but the fallout is continuing from Harry’s book,” Mr Myers told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “Those wounds are still very, very raw.” “I don’t think there is a way back in for Harry and Meghan just yet.”

The Daily Mirror Royal Editor Russell Myers discusses an appearance by King Charles at Royal Ascot's Ladies Day.

"The whole family has had a really testing time of late. "The family have come together, not only Charles, but Kate over the last few weeks and months."

Sky News host Danica De Giorgio says the Albanese government has put in place "reckless policies" to force coal out of the market – in favour of wind and solar energy. As Eastern Australia goes through a cold snap, the energy market operator AEMO has warned there may not be enough gas in the system to meet demand. "Labor's obsession with renewables is clearly plunging us into oblivion; we are on a dangerous and reckless path," Ms De Giorgio said.

Gas and energy expert Saul Kavonic says gas is the only thing which can “bridge the gap” for an “increasingly unreliable” energy grid. “Gas is what’s needed to basically be there when the rest of the market isn’t,” he told Sky News host Steve Price. “Keep in mind, this isn’t just about the power sector, it’s about Australia’s manufacturing, tens of thousands of jobs are depending on this and it’s about keeping us warm in winter.”

The Australian’s Washington Correspondent Adam Creighton says some of the forecasts for a second Donald Trump presidency are “completely insane”.
