Western Australia’s Health Minister is in India on a mission to recruit thousands of healthcare staff to fill shortages across the state. However, the move has raised questions over where the workers would live as WA’s housing crisis continues to take hold. Perth and Adelaide have the tightest vacancy rates of all capital cities in Australia. That’s followed closely by Hobart and Brisbane. The Cook Labor government is introducing a range of measures to help address the housing shortage, such as offering Airbnb owners an incentive to turn their homes into long-term rentals.

Women’s Forum Australia research fellow Stephanie Bastiaan says Meta has a “serious case to answer for” not clamping down on ‘Instamums’ selling exclusive content of their daughters on social media. Ms Bastiaan’s comments are in response to a report from the New York Times which revealed ‘Instamums’ are using Instagram to sell pictures of their daughters to male buyers. “Meta has a serious case to answer here,” Ms Bastiaan told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi in response. “I don’t know where our e-safety commissioner is either. “They’re running around censoring everything. “Why isn’t Meta being penalised for not dealing with it?”

Sky News Australia host James Macpherson has responded to the Church of England telling parishes to set up a ‘race action plan’, saying it was one of the “last things Jesus told the disciples.” It comes as all parishes in England have been told to develop the plan which was put forward by a pro BLM bishop. “The last thing Jesus said was go into all the world and meet diversity, equity and inclusion targets," Mr Macpherson said in response. “That is what he told the disciples. "What hope western civilisation, if the Church have gone woke?"

Washington Correspondent Annelise Nielsen says there needs to be “more transparency” from tech companies when it comes to AI development. Ms Nielsen joined Sky News host Rita Panahi to discuss the rapid rise of AI and the information it delivers. “It all comes down to how this information is presented and what we’re telling AI we want to hear,” Ms Nielsen told Ms Panahi. “So this really goes to the broader issue of how much we give AI the opportunity to be crafting what we put down as objective facts and the truth. “And be careful what you wish for, if you start to rewrite history to that extent what does that mean for the rest of us?”

Sky News host Caleb Bond questions where the money given to Indigenous land title owners goes as “we don’t really know”. “Let’s not forget, we talk about the case of the nuclear waste dump in South Australia,” he said. “And the desalination plant … that is now being opposed – we learn on the front page of The Advertiser last week is now doing billion-dollar deals with renewable energy companies. “For projects that are going to be built or done on that land. “So, this is a big industry we are talking about here, you hand control of that land to people, and it gives them A, a massive source of income and where does all that money go – we don’t really know.”

Liberal MP Julian Leeser has joined calls for the government to deny a Palestinian convicted plane hijacker from coming into Australia. “This should be the easiest decision Andrew Giles ever made because why would we give a visa to somebody who has been a multiple airplane hijacker,” Mr Leeser told Sky News host Sharri Markson. “Who’s coming to Australia to promote a range of views that are well outside the mainstream and may well be inciting behavior here.” Leila Khaled took part in two plane hijackings in the late 1960s and is now set to appear at a socialist conference held in Perth this year. There is a push to deny Ms Khaled an Australian visa due to her actions. In an interview, she said that Hamas were “freedom fighters”.

Documents part of the enormous data leak from a Chinese cyber-security firm show the Chinese government “supports” broad scale hacking, says Internet 2.0 co-creator David Robinson. An extraordinary leak of a trove of documents from cyber security firm I-Soon have offered a glimpse into the inner workings of Chinese linked hackers. The company is linked to both the Chinese Government and the Ministry of State Security. The leaked documents contain claims that NATO has been targeted with an intent to hack the organisation, as well as claims they could even hack Twitter and even download DMs. “The entire document really indicts, implies and shows that the Chinese government supports this broad scale hacking,” Mr Robinson told Sky News Australia host Sharri Markson. “There are a lot of contracts between the ministry of public security and this company, “They have open letters of support from CCP (Communist Party of China) organisations … they are operating as a normal company. “In the background two thirds of their staff are conducting APT hacking operations and are selling this data and access.”

Sky News host Paul Murray looks back at Scott Morrison’s political career and his final speech in parliament today. “Scott Morrison has given us an incredible insight into how politics works,” Mr Murray said. “When he was the shadow immigration minster, arguing to stop the boats, into when he become the immigration minister and how he stopped the boats, into when he became the treasurer and put together rolling tax cuts for companies and individuals. “And then of course as the prime minister, all the way from Washington DC to the Shire – we were given an inside seat into how politics works.” Mr Murray looked at the main points of Mr Morrison's speech such as community, faith, and his values.

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer has revealed why he thinks it’s unlikely for Joe Biden to win the 2024 US presidential election. “I think there’s two issues: number one, the polls are what they are in the battleground states. There’s eight states that this election is going to be decided on, and in every single one of them right now, Donald Trump beats Joe Biden,” Mr Spicer told Sky News host Steve Price. Mr Spincer went on to say that Joe Biden's other main issue was his age. “It’s not a number – it’s his mental acuity and his physical prowess,” he said. "Both are something that you cannot fix. “There's no campaign in the world that can fix it.”

Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood has criticised Chris Bowen for saying nuclear will cost “many tens of billions” and will take “many years” to achieve. The latest Newspoll shows a majority of Australians would support a move to replace retired coal-fired power plants with small modular nuclear reactors. The poll revealed that 55 per cent of all voters supported the move, while only around 31 per cent were against it. “I know that … Chris Bowen particularly like to say that it’s going to cost many tens of billions and will take many, many years for us to be able to achieve this,” Mr Greenwood told Sky News Australia host Steve Price. “I don’t think that’s quite right. “Just between now and 2029 … have a look at this: over the next five years, there are going to be 53 nuclear reactors in the world built to generate electricity – Bangladesh, for goodness sakes, is doing it.”

Liberal Senator Claire Chandler says the former Prime Minister Scott Morrison gave a “very powerful speech”. Ms Chandler told Sky News host Steve Price that history will look “very kindly” on Scott Morrison. “It was tough for any leader of any country, over the last few years … while the world was facing the challenges that we were. “Scott will be remembered for the role that he played in securing the AUKUS deal. “That is a deal that is going to be incredibly important to Australia’s national security.”

Sky News host Steve Price has deemed Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest a “hypocrite” after the mining billionaire’s National Press Club address on Monday. “These misinformed, unscientific, uneconomic, plucked-out-of-thin-air, bulldust nuclear policies of politicians – masquerading as leaders – help no one,” Mr Forrest said during the address. “This outburst came on a day when Newspoll showed a majority of us Australians including … younger Australians, support a nuclear energy industry," Mr Price said. “I am confused. “We have a mining magnate pivotal to China's carbon emissions – that go unchallenged – lecturing the rest of us about green energy and slamming the door on the huge opportunity that nuclear power offers to meet Australia's energy needs.”

Australian Human Resources Institute CEO Sarah McCann-Bartlett says women need to be seen “going through to senior roles” in a market where 38 per cent of employers say they are struggling to fill vacant roles. Ms Mccann- Bartlett’s comments follow the Workplace Gender Equality Agency report which found the median gender pay-gap is 19 per cent with airlines, banks and construction firms having the most significant gaps. “38 per cent of employers have told us they are still struggling to actually fill vacant jobs,” Ms McCann-Bartlett told Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood. “Why wouldn’t you be looking for the broadest pool to fill all of your jobs with actually the best people. “You do want to see women going through to those senior roles – and the best people whether they are male or female filling those roles and that is also going to drive productivity in the workplace.”

Transport Minister Catherine King says the Labor government is “delivering” on its promise to close the gender pay gap. The Workplace Gender Equality Agency has released WGEA Data Explorer, which published data revealing the gender pay gap for nearly 5,000 companies. “Last year, we passed legislation that would increase transparency and reporting for gender pay gaps, and today this data has been released,” Ms King said during Question Time on Tuesday. “If those opposite were serious about this issue, they would immediately ask Senator Canavan to withdraw his comments about this data. “If they are serious about it, they will rebuke him for the comments that he has made about the release of this data.”
