News.com.au Entertainment Reporter Bronte Coy says it’s “no surprise” Oppenheimer is sweeping through the Academy Awards. “It’s been doing so well across awards season so far,” Ms Coy told Sky News Australia. “There was so much buzz going into this. “We knew that it was going to be nominated across the board – 13 nominations is pretty impressive. “I think we’re going to see it deliver on a lot of those nominations, particularly for ‘Best Director’ and also for ‘Best Actor’ with Cillian Murphy.”

Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan says Ken is having the “last laugh” after Ryan Gosling was given an Oscar nomination while Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were snubbed from the list. “Barbie is the box office smash of the year – grossing over a billion pounds worldwide,” Mr Morgan said. “It’s a movie about female empowerment and dismantling the patriarchy – you’d expect its star Margot Robbie and director Greta Gerwig to be recognised at the Oscars, but the leading ladies missed out. “So the patriarchy wins, and Ken has the last laugh.” Ryan Gosling reacted to his co-star missing out on an Oscar nod, saying that him being disappointed by the snub is an “understatement”.

Sky News host Liz Storer says everyone knows Australia meeting its 2030 energy targets is a “pipe dream”. It’s been revealed Australia won’t be able to meet its 2030 energy targets. Australia will not be able to build and install enough renewable energy generation to meet its target by 2030, according to modelling from a NSW government body. “We can’t meet our targets for 2030 – tell us something we don’t know,” she said. “I just feel like every time we read one of these headlines, it’s deja vu. We’ve been saying the same thing. “We know they can’t meet the targets.”

Sky News Political Reporter Cameron Reddin says the Coalition’s reaction to Labor’s newest broken campaign promise is an “insight into the political combat” Australians are set to witness in the 2024 by-elections of Dunkley and Cook. The Albanese government promised Australians in the 2022 federal election they would deliver stage three tax cuts unblemished until a crisis cost-of-living caucus on Wednesday became a platform to propose alterations to the legislation. “A bit of an insight into the kind of political combat that we are in for on those by-election campaigns,” Mr Reddin told Sky News Australia. “Potentially a look ahead, even as far as the kind of combat we will expect in the next election campaign. “Cost-of-living and the truth and believability of the Prime Minister’s word is what the Coalition is targeting today – accusing him of breaking that bond of trust with the Australian people.”

Sky News host Laura Jayes has hit out at the Prime Minister as he looks set to break an election promise and make changes to the stage three tax cuts. As currently legislated, from July 1, the 37 per cent tax bracket for incomes between $120,001 and $180,000 would be removed and instead they would pay 30 cents in the dollar, meaning those earning between $45,0001 and $200,000 on the same rate. But under Labor's expected change, the 37 per cent bracket is set to stay for those making between $135,000 and $190,000, with the highest 45 per cent rate applied after the latter. The Prime Minister vowed multiple times in the leadup to the last election that he would keep the former Coalition government's stage three tax cuts. He is expected to provide further details about the changes at the National Press Club on Thursday. “In one fell swoop he has potentially destroyed his biggest asset – integrity,” Ms Jayes said. “For almost two years he promised, assured, guaranteed and confirmed time and time again that he wouldn’t touch stage three tax cuts, but now he will. “This is class warfare, this is the politics of envy on face value from the details we know so far and it’s the kind of gross politics he actually promised to stamp out.”

Sky News host James Macpherson has slammed Australian swimwear brand Moana Bikini after using a male to model a women’s swimsuit. “They’ve trashed the culture to make a buck, well done,” Mr Macpherson said. The company shared a video to social media of the male model in a white one-piece suit with the caption “obsessed with this look”. People took to social media criticising the brand's choice many saying they were done with the brand. One comment read “Is that a man? I thought you were about empowering women?”

Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell has questioned whether the Albanese government’s reworking of stage-three tax cuts is “worth the pain”. “I think the key question here is how much is coming off the top end?” Mr Clennell said. As currently legislated, from July 1, the 37 per cent tax bracket for incomes between $120,001 and $180,000 would be removed and instead they would pay 30 cents in the dollar, meaning those earning between $45,0001 and $200,000 on the same rate. But under Labor's expected change, the 37 per cent bracket is set to stay for those making between $135,000 and $190,000, with the highest 45 per cent rate applied after the latter. Those with an annual income of more than $200,000 are expected to have between $1000 to $3000 removed from their tax cut. “If it’s only $1,000, how much extra do the low to middle-income earners get anyway?" he said. “If it’s $3000, it’s a real problem – either way, I think the policy is the problem. “There’s a lot of Labor people I speak to who think it spells disaster for the PM.”

Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor has labelled potential changes to stage three tax cuts as “an egregious betrayal” of the Australian people. “The Prime Minister and Treasurer lied over 100 times to the Australian people about the stage three tax cuts,” Mr Taylor told Sky News Australia. “They said they were committed to them, they said they were going to stick to them, and over 100 times they lied to the Australian people. “If there was ever a breach of promise, that is the mother of all broken promises – this is it. “This Prime Minister’s word and this Treasurer’s word means absolutely nothing.”

'Piano Man' Billy Joel has delighted fans – announcing he will release his first single in 17 years. The 74-year-old teased the announcement on social media with a short video clip, writing "It's time to turn the lights back on" – referencing the name of the song. It's only his second pop single since 1993. Fans are told they can expect a classic Billy Joel-style tune, embodying the hallmarks of his signature sound and ushering in the next chapter of his story. The new song will be released next week on February 1.

Hours after announcing his retirement from Australian politics, Scott Morrison revealed he would be taking up new positions in the American defence private sector alongside former key Trump figures. In an exclusive interview with Sky News Host Paul Murray and his first since announcing his retirement from politics, Scott Morrison says he is enormously grateful for his time in parliament. Mr Morrison said he will take on opportunities which are reportedly alongside the likes of Trump administration secretary of state Mike Pompeo. Reflection on his time in office and the criticism he’s faced over the years, the former prime minister believes it is simply part of the job. “You can’t complain about the field you’re on; you choose a life in public service, in politics, and that’s going to come with some slings and arrows,” Mr Morrison said.

Optus has revealed an extra 2,000 customers failed to get through on triple zero calls. The count comes from during the outage on November 8 last year. The figure is more than 10 times higher than the number previously disclosed in a Senate Inquiry. The communications giant had initially revealed 228 customers attempted the emergency dial. The new information will be given to ACMA, which is currently investigating whether Optus has upheld its Emergency Service Call Determination obligations.

Sky News contributor Kristin Tate has questioned why former UN ambassador Nikki Haley hasn’t yet pulled out of the US presidential race. “Like I said she expected to do better in New Hampshire than she did in Iowa, but I mean she really doesn’t have much of a chance at all in winning the nomination,” Ms Tate told Sky News host Steve Price. “Her game plan might be to just kind of wait this out and see if somehow the Democrats succeed in putting Trump in jail or making him not eligible to be elected. “She may also just be sticking around because she thinks even though she may not win in this election, next time in four years from now she'll have a better shot. “Who knows … but Trump has this thing locked up.”

Sky News host Caleb Bond has slammed the decision by the South Australian government to ban dark-coloured roofs in a housing development for getting rid of people’s “free will”. A South Australian government-led housing development is currently mostly comprised of dark roofs, but to eliminate a phenomenon called ‘urban heat island – where dark roofs draw and retain large volumes of heat – certain colours will be eliminated from all future stages. The change aims to enhance the energy efficiency of properties in the development and cut costs for residents experiencing growing cost of living pressures, according to the state government. “We’re going to have no free will – this is where we’re going,” Mr Bond said. “Can’t choose the colour of your roof, can’t have a cup of coffee, can’t own a dog. I mean, I don’t know, just go grab a straitjacket and be done with it.”

Former prime minister Scott Morrison has commended Opposition Leader Peter Dutton over his “tremendous leadership”. “I’m really pleased to see Peter Dutton and team, Sussan Ley and the whole Nats and so on doing really well," Mr Morrison told Sky News host Paul Murray. “You know they're holding this government to account … they're doing a great job, and they’ve come through some difficult times. “Peter has shown, I think, tremendous leadership since the last election.” Mr Morrison sat down with Sky News host Paul Murray to reflect on his time as Prime Minister of Australia and revealed why he believes it’s his time to retire from politics.

Sky News host Paul Murray has revealed a “fascinating poll” from the Morning Consult, which has Donald Trump in a record lead over Joe Biden. The poll shows the likely Republican presidential nominee for 2024 has a five-point lead over US President Joe Biden – 45 per cent to 40 per cent – in their latest national tracking survey. It is the largest advantage they have ever measured for Trump in head-to-head polling between the two candidates, going all the way back to 2017. “If your idea is that Trump won’t win because 80 million people still hate him, well, according to those numbers, not the case,” Mr Murray said. “However, independents are desperately important in American politics – they are the difference in many swing states.”

The “climate cult” are coming for your cup of coffee, Sky News host Liz Storer says. Swiss Banker Hubert Keller said that drinking coffee is having a negative effect on climate change. “The climate cult are coming for our coffee,” Ms Storer said. “I am not even exaggerating; I know it sounds like a nightmare. “Can you believe this?”

The list of things you can’t do is getting longer as now apparently what people feed their dogs is contributing to climate change, Sky News host James Macpherson says. “The list of things you can’t do without adding to climate change continues to grow,” Mr Macpherson said. “This headline, today, from The Australian – ‘What you feed your dog can reduce its carbon pawprint’. “I know you’re laughing already, but if you think that’s ridiculous, have a look at what it says – listen to this – ‘Owning dogs can be as harmful to the environment as flying in a private jet’. “I had a stern word to my dog about climate change this afternoon.”

Former prime minister Scott Morrison has sat down with Sky News host Paul Murray to discuss his career, legacy, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and the Labor government's failure to deliver his government’s stage three tax cuts. Mr Morrison’s time in politics will soon be over - announcing he will retire from politics in February. He served as prime minister from August 2018 to the 2022 federal election and has been the Member for Cook since 2007. In 2013, as immigration minister, he launched Operation Sovereign Borders and stopped unauthorised boats from entering Australian waters. In 2021, Morrison – alongside former UK prime minister Boris Johnson and US President Joe Biden – announced AUKUS, a joint security pact between the countries to counter China’s dominance in the Pacific. He has lined up two jobs in the American defence private sector alongside former key Trump figures Mike Pompeo and Robert O’Brien.

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says the mention of Australia Day from Cricket Australia makes them “choke” as if it has been “banned”. “This hatred of Australia Day has become a farce,” Mr Bolt said. “Maybe our best response now is to just laugh at these jokers as they go crazy competing to be holier than thou. “Cricket Australia – they haven’t just banned Australia Day ceremonies at the Gabba Test – these guys even choke at mentioning the words Australia Day.” “It’s like it has been banned.”
