Astrophysicist and cosmologist Dr Brad Tucker discusses SpaceX’s Starship which completed its first full test flight. “The first test exploded at 30 kilometres, the second test six months later reached nearly orbit, but both the Starship and the booster, the bottom part separated and broke apart,” Dr Tucker told Sky News Australia. “Now, in this fourth mission, they did what they wanted to do. “Have the starship top and booster separate; they both come back down and orientate themselves. “Because in the future, SpaceX will be landing both Starship and the booster on a landing pad to be reused.” “Assuming everything else is going according to plan, Starliner will enter, hopefully, NASA service and be a regular option for astronauts going to the space station.”

Energy and Climate Change Minister Chris Bowen says Peter Dutton “doesn’t have the courage to stare down the climate changer deniers” in the Coalition. Mr Bowen used a media conference on Saturday to spruik Labor’s progress on renewable energy and to criticize the Opposition’s differing proposals. “Mr Dutton would rip up the pathway to renewable energy,” Mr Bowen said of the Opposition Leader. “He would take Australia backwards for no good reason other than the fact he doesn’t have the courage to stare down the climate changer deniers in his Party room.”

Nationals Leader David Littleproud says Andrew Giles can’t take all the blame for the hurt caused by Direction 99, condemning Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for signing the paperwork to keep things “friendly” with New Zealand. It follows the Immigration Minister’s announcement the controversial directive, which enabled a number of criminals to remain in Australia, is to be revoked on June 21 with new guidance being introduced in its place. “Anthony Albanese signed our sovereign security away to New Zealand for a friendship with Jacinda Ardern, rather than standing up for Australia, and protecting Australia. “We want to make sure that the priority, main and first priority of any order, or any direction, is to keep your people safe, that’s what this government has failed to do. “It’s all too late for many people who have been hurt by these decisions by Anthony Albanese and Andrew Giles.”

Nationals leader David Littleproud says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is only taking aim at nuclear energy because he “doesn’t want to talk” about Andrew Giles and the detainee debacle. The Prime Minister used the Sky News-Australian Economic Outlook forum on Friday to firm his government’s position against nuclear, arguing it would send Australia down a 15 year “wasteful rabbit hole.” “The Prime Minister is talking about nuclear because he doesn’t want to talk about Andrew Giles at the moment,” Mr Littleproud told Sky News in response. “That’s the only reason he’s taking an interest in nuclear energy."

Nationals leader David Littleproud has backed Opposition Leader Peter Dutton’s claim he is the “most qualified” leader on economics since John Howard. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph Dutton pitched himself as Australia's next Prime Minister, and described economics as “second nature” to him. “Well he is, and I think it’s not just because of his own personal business acronym, but also his experience in the parliament as assistant treasurer and expenditure review committee for many years,” Mr Littleproud told Sky News Australia in response. “What you are going to get from Peter Dutton, and David Littleproud is just upfront truth.”

The Immigrations Minister announced the new direction yesterday, after facing backlash for his Direction 99 which resulted in the overturning of serious criminal's visa cancellations.

Liberal MP Keith Wolahan discusses Peter Dutton’s call for Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to reject the antisemitism in the Greens political party by putting the Greens candidates last on Labor after to vote card at the next election. “We have seen in previous occasions where an issue is so important that leaders show leadership, and that means when you have a choice between your self-interest or your party’s self-interest, and you’ve got a principle at stake, so power versus principal,” Mr Wolahan told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio.  “Leadership is about choosing a principal.”

Shadow Attorney General Michaelia Cash slams Attorney General Mark Dreyfus after she left a meeting over Labor’s religious discrimination bill. “All I can say is clearly Mr Dreyfus did not appreciate my feedback on behalf of faith communities across Australia,” Ms Cash told Sky News host Erin Molan. “Enough is enough stop playing games with faith in Australia.”

Sky News host Danica De Giorgio questions how many more “stuff ups” Immigration Minister Andrew Giles can get away with. Immigration Minister Andrew Giles has revealed the new ministerial direction to replace the Albanese government's under-fire Direction 99, which multiple convicted criminals have used to escape deportation. Mr Giles confirmed on Friday he had signed Direction 110, which will replace Direction 99 on June 21. “Same minister, same issues, different direction number – and it keeps getting worse and worse,” Ms De Giorgio said. “I don't know who is more dangerous – the criminal detainees or Andrew Giles still in charge of the portfolio.”
