Spectator Australia’s ‘Fire at Will’ Podcast host Will Kingston says Australia’s education system has been “so successfully hijacked”. Mr Kingston told Sky News host Andrew Bolt that there will be kids going through “woke brainwashing” in schools. “So, I think this is a battle we’re going to be fighting for a long, long time unfortunately.”

Sky News host Rita Panahi has mocked a "hysterical clown" on CNN after he had a "tantrum" during a debate about whether men should be allowed to compete in women's sports.

Sydney University’s constitutional law professor Anne Twomey has raised concerns about the federal government’s misinformation bill. “Mostly it comes down to definitions – so what is misinformation and who decides what it is,” she told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “At the moment, the bill effectively outsources this to the platforms, so it’s the digital platforms that are the ones that are responsible for deciding.”

Sky News host Peta Credlin has accused the Albanese government of not being upfront about its climate crusade “vanity project”. It comes as speculation has been mounting in recent weeks that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese could send Australians back to the polls before Easter instead of waiting until May 2025. Ms Credlin claimed Mr Albanese is likely to call an early election and he would try to “bury” the Labor Party’s new climate targets. “He has to bury these new climate targets, he has to bury the decade of deficits in his upcoming March budget and he has to get to the polls before the energy and climate wars are turbocharged by the incoming President Donald Trump,” Ms Credlin said. “That’s why the Prime Minister wants an election before he can’t avoid the truth about what Labor’s policies are doing to your power prices, and what harm they will do in the future, should he get re-elected.”

Sky News contributor Chris Uhlmann says Australian state government departments are operating as “activists” worrying more about heritage issues than actual departmental concerns. “Many of the government departments we have now seem to be operating more as activists than they are as departments,” Mr Uhlmann told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “I feel at the moment it is too much captured by a whole lot of vested interests and too much again is going on behind closed doors, there are decisions being made by bureaucrats that are having effects on the lives of ordinary Australians, and there is no transparency about what is going on.”

Adoni Media's Leisa Goddard claims Anthony Albanese may be in his new coastal property “sooner than he thinks” after he advocated for four-year prime minister terms. “There is some argument the longer they’ve got in office if they’re a good government, then that’s great because they’ve got more time to actually deliver on all of the promises,” Ms Goddard said. “When it comes to Albanese, right now I’m sure he’s wishing that he had a four-year term because it would put him in a good buffer zone before he has to go to the election. “He may be in that cliff-top mansion sooner than he thinks.”

US Vice President Kamala Harris has been accused of "lying to donors" as her $US1 billion failed presidential campaign now faces $20 million in debt. The revelation has shocked Democrats, with DNC Finance Committee member Lindy Li telling Fox News donors were misled about Harris’ chances of winning. Li, who helped raise millions, branded the campaign a “billion-dollar disaster” and said she had to explain to her friends who donated how the loss could have happened. "I raised millions of that. I have friends that I have to be accountable to and to explain what happened because I told them it was a margin of error race," she said. "I was promised, [Harris campaign chair] Jen O’Malley Dillon promised all of us that Harris would win. "She even put videos out that Harris would win. I believed her, my donors believed her. And so they wrote massive cheques." Fox News' Jesse Watters accused Harris of racking up $20 million in debt after "lying to donors" to keep the cash flowing. "Kamala ended up $20 million in debt and now we’re finding out that she was lying to donors to keep the cash flowing," a portion of his post on X read.

Hollywood actor and vocal Kamala Harris supporter Mark Ruffalo has spoken about the Vice President’s failed White House bid. Ruffalo delivered a speech at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California’s Bill of Rights Awards on Sunday. During the actor’s speech, he admitted the Democratic party and Harris supporters “got out a**es kicked” after losing the election. “We got our a**es kicked. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, but sometimes you have to spend a little time in bed before it happens,” he said. “It was hard to come here, honestly.”

Sky News can reveal four suspected asylum seekers are no longer in the country after they arrived in a remote part of the Northern Territory. It’s understood the four individuals were located on the remote Croker Island, around 250 kilometres north-east of Darwin, by traditional owners.

The tension was palpable at the Veterans Day service in Arlington Virginia where Joe Biden and Kamala Harris appeared together for the first time since the Democrats brutal defeat by Donald Trump.

Sky News host Liz Storer has mocked the Democrats for blowing $1 billion on the Harris campaign only for it to fail. DNC official Lindy Li branded the campaign a “billion-dollar disaster” and said she had to explain to her friends who donated how the loss could have happened. “Money can’t buy you love people,” Ms Storer said.

The View hosts have been mocked online for "losing their minds" over Donald Trump's appointment of former ICE director Tom Homan as the new 'border czar'. During an interview with 60 Minutes in October, Homan suggested undocumented migrants and their families can be deported together. The View co-host Ana Navarro claimed that US citizens with undocumented relatives could face deportation under this policy. Navarro argued Trump supporters may have underestimated his plans for mass deportations and highlighted Homan’s role and Stephen Miller’s as deputy chief as signs of Trump’s commitment. She clarified that “mass deportations” would likely go beyond criminals. "And when you talk about mass deportations, people think, 'Oh, it’s just going to be the criminals;" she said. "There’s not enough criminals, aliens in the federal prison system for it to be mass deportations. "What it means is grandmothers. What it means is brothers and aunts. What it means is abuelos y abuelas. It means Dreamers. It means family members. "It means colleagues, it means people who are part of your society."

The View co-host Ana Navarro has hit back at comments made by former house speaker Nancy Pelosi about US President Joe Biden. During Monday’s episode, Navarro slammed Pelosi’s claim that Kamala Harris would’ve fared better in the election if Biden dropped out sooner. “Why, Nancy, why? I find this so unproductive, so nasty, so unnecessary. She wants to make sure people know it wasn’t her,” Navarro said. “She has no blame in this. ‘I said Biden should have gotten out earlier. I said there shouldn’t have been a primary. Don’t blame me.’ I think it’s really unseemly.” The co-host’s remarks came in response to comments the former house speaker made during an interview with The New York Times.

Flinders University Professor Rodrigo Praino says United States President-elect Donald Trump will be taking a “different approach” regarding international relationships. “The issue with Trump is there is the Trump that says the things he says and there is the Trump that does the things he does, they are not always the same person,” Mr Praino told Sky News Australia. “Whether or not he’s strong for international relations, he’s clearly different from everyone else. “The four years that he had power showed that his approach to international relations is very different. “There are reports today that he has spoken with Vladimir Putin and has asked him not to escalate things in Ukraine.”

Flinders University Professor Rodrigo Praino says the American people “voted for change” in the 2024 US presidential election. “They essentially equated Harris with the current administration, and they are unhappy,” Mr Praino told Sky News Australia. “They are very unhappy with the direction of the economy, they are very unhappy with the policies that the current administration has enacted in order to try and address this problem. “They voted for change, when that happens people have a glimmer of hope … the US population has some hope that things are going to get better.”

Flinders University Professor Rodrigo Praino says the United States of America is “deeply divided” on Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential win. “While we are talking about this landslide victory of Donald Trump … I think we need to focus a little bit on the internal results of each state,” Mr Praino told Sky News Australia. “The American public is divided and it’s almost half and half.”

President-elect Donald Trump is preparing for his transition back to the White House. The President-elect wants to move fast, including overcoming Democratic opposition, to get his team in place without delay. Mr Trump is promising to undo much of US President Joe Biden’s agenda, as soon as possible.

Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Birmingham says the Labor government should be doing “all it can” to try and get Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the door for an “early meeting” with US President-elect Donald Trump. “They should be seeking that and trying to attach that to these travels,” Mr Birmingham said. “They’ve already taken Anthony Albanese to South America, the chance is there for him to go up to Florida, and seek this meeting, that should be the type of proactive approach.”

Shadow Foreign Affairs Minister Simon Birmingham says he is “certain” President-elect Donald Trump will be a “significant factor” in Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s talks with other leaders. Mr Birmingham’s comments come as the Prime Minister jets off for the G20 and APEC summits in Brazil and Peru. These summits are typically about promoting a global economy, climate change action and addressing global inequalities, something an incoming Trump administration threatens to up-end. “Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has his work cut out for him,” Mr Birmingham told Sky News Australia.

The Queensland LNP is reviewing Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s $1 billion deal to build a commercially viable quantum computer. The partnership with US startup PsiQuantum is expected to cost the LNP $470 million.
