Shadow Environment Minister Jonathon Duniam discusses the underwhelming results of urgent care facilities across Australia. “The money that they pumped into these urgent care clinics has not yielded benefits,” Mr Duniam told Sky News host Steve Price. “This Canberra-based solution that they've come up with is not helping Australians access the health care they need. “Frankly, the only people that miss out are the people whose primary health care concerns are not being dealt with.”

Sky News host Paul Murray has broken down the latest US polls that have come out after Donald Trump’s hush money case. “Trump nationally, 41 – (Biden) 39, and because Kennedy is riding at the best part of 10 per cent, there has not been a big change in the overall mix,” Mr Murray said. “The most recent poll ... show Trump winning in Arizona, in Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina and Georgia. “If that all comes true, he gets to 270 votes nice and easy.”

The people of Macnamara “want a change”, says Liberal candidate for Macnamara Benson Saulo. “Over 100 years this seat has been held under Labor,” Mr Saulo told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “They feel like they have been taken for granted, they feel like the seat has been overlooked, it has not had the leadership they need and deserve, and I think they are looking for a change.”
