Journalist Sophie Elsworth says she “wouldn’t be surprised” if left-wing activists went ahead with claims they are going to boycott American actor Jerry Seinfeld’s programmes following his visit to Israel. The Jewish-American star landed in Israel on Monday with his wife and children, meeting families of Israeli hostages still held in Gaza, as well as some of the recently released hostages in a show of solidarity with the country’s fight against Hamas. “Nothing would surprise me in this world of activism,” Ms Elsworth told Sky News Australia host Rita Panahi. “Jerry Seinfeld is very vanilla, he’s not an offensive character, so let’s wait and see. “I wouldn’t be surprised, going on how these activists do operate.”

Far North Queensland is predicted to lose out on around $125 million over the usually busy summer period in the wake of ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper. The flooding impacted tourism with an increase in cancellations and seasonably low bookings. Residents in Far North Queensland meanwhile are getting on with a mammoth clean-up. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is due to visit the flood zone today where hundreds of people have been forced into makeshift accommodation. Thousands of North Queenslanders were forced to quickly evacuate their homes when flood waters began to rise last Sunday. Queensland Police have set up an anti-looting taskforce to protect vulnerable homes and businesses.

Sky News host Rita Panahi has reacted to a TikToker "mocking women" in a video about "gender euphoria". “Doing housework – there’s just something that’s so mummy coded about destroying a mountain of dishes or crisply folding laundry,” said TikToker Violet Stanza. “Beating men – not like physically beating men but like winning against men in like sports or video games or life itself. “Also the colour green – I understand that colours don’t have gender but a good green, that’s just for the girls babe. “Next I’m gonna have to say crying … honestly what is girlier than sobbing uncontrollably?”

The Global Times applauding Australia over the rejection of a warship request to the Red Sea makes us look like a “second-class ally”, former foreign minister Alexander Downer says. “It is a very bad look,” Mr Downer told Sky News host Chris Kenny. “The Global Times, which is a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party, has said how good it is that the Australian government has done this. “You know, it’s just journalism, but it sends a message out. “It makes Australia a kind of second-class ally.”

The global rise of anti-Semitism is “shocking”, says Australia/Israel and Jewish Affairs Council Dr Colin Rubenstein. Dr Rubenstein sat with Sky News host Chris Kenny to discuss how Australia’s Jewish community is coping with the escalating anti-Semitic reports. “The anti-Semitism we’ve seen in the last couple of months is beyond our wildest expectations,” he said. “It’s shocking, it’s extreme, it’s global. “Unfortunately, as we know too well, it’s in this country.”

Nationals MP Keith Pitt says the floods in Far North Queensland will “make it difficult” for farmers and their crops. Mr Pitt told Sky News host Chris Kenny that it will be a “challenging time”. “For agriculture up there, it will certainly impact prices. “Where the risk is spread, the impact shouldn’t be too bad. “Get up there as soon as the roads are open and it’s safe – spend some money in the north.”

Sky News host Chris Kenny slams the denial of the Australian government to help out with a request for a naval warship by the United States. “I’ve spoken the past two nights about the incredible decision by Australia to reject the US request for a naval warship,” Mr Kenny said. “To be deployed to the Red Sea. “To help out with an international force, combatting or protecting commercial shipping in that area.” The US launched a multi-country coalition to protect ships passing through the Red Sea after weeks of drone and ballistic missile attacks by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.

Liberal Senator Hollie Hughes slams a New South Wales council looking to be a nuclear-free zone for "woke virtue signalling". “Rates, roads, and rubbish, that is what councils are responsible for and we know that many of them aren’t too good at doing those things,” she told Sky News host Caleb Bond. “This is just another example of this woke, virtue-signalling that councils seem to find part of their remit. “Has anyone … had a think about if they actually need access to an MRI? “The use of nuclear medicine is actually quite a considerable part of healthcare nowadays.”

Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce says sending a Navy warship is “absolutely” in Australia’s national interest. Defence Minister Richard Marles has revealed Australia will not be sending a warship to the Red Sea following a request from the US. Mr Joyce told Sky News contributor Steve Price that Australia “needs to use” that sea lane for trade. “That is so important – paramount to Australia’s interest. “It’s so very, very important that we are seen, not just we say we are a strong ally, but we act like a strong ally.

Nationals MP Barnaby Joyce says the Rural Fire Service is “incredible”. The RFS is refusing to conduct an audit into its volunteer force. The number of active volunteers ready to respond to an active fire could be less than half of what official documents claim. Mr Joyce told Sky News contributor Steve Price that he lives in a Rural Fire Service area. “In our area, I don’t know about the numbers, people are pretty good about attending to their duties and turning up. “I suppose we should get to the bottom of it.”

Douglas Shire Mayor Michael Kerr says the Daintree region has been “divided” into three areas due to the massive landslides in the region. Many parts of region have begun clean-up efforts following immense flooding which came from ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper. “So you’ve got the Forest Creek Road in Cape Kimberley, then you’ve got the Cow Bay area – you’ve got another massive, big landslide just before Cow Bay, you’ve got another massive landslide just before Cape Tribulation,” he told Sky News contributor Steve Price. “So the three areas are completely separated, they can’t get to each other and it’s going to be major work. “The one that’s stopping just before Cape Tribulation is at least 110 metres wide, it’s a huge drop, and that one’s going to certainly take some geotech specialist to make that work.”

Protesters from the Last Generation filmed themselves spraying jets of paint on a tree in a public space and said they did so in Berlin, Nuremberg, Munich and other areas. “[In] Germany … the climate cultists took out their rage on a Christmas tree,” Ms Panahi said. “That tree was clearly asking for it – I’m sure the planet is saved. “Thank you, climate catastrophist loons.”

Shadow Defence Minister Andrew Hastie says the government has “taken the path of least resistance” in not sending a warship to the Red Sea to help fight against Houthi rebels. The Defence Minister says the reason Australia will not be sending a warship is because the government wants to focus on its own trade routes which are mostly in the South China Sea. “They’re sending six people to Operation Prosperity Guardian to be staged in Bahrain,” Mr Hastie told Sky News Australia. “Where the real work is going to take place in the Red Sea along with other naval contributions. “The UK for example is sending a destroyer, the French are sending a frigate, we’ve always stepped up over the last 100 years when we’ve had to, to be a good global citizen, to upload the global rules-based order, and the Prime Minister has squibbed this.”

Shadow Defence Minister Andrew Hastie says Australia voting in the UN ceasefire motion for Gaza “diminishes us”. Mr Hastie sat with Sky News Australia to discuss the government’s decision to support the ceasefire motion despite it not condemning Hamas for its crimes against Israeli people. “The United Kingdom at least had the decency to abstain from the vote, whereas we backed a vote calling for a ceasefire that didn’t even condemn Hamas,” he said. “Papua New Guineans, they voted against it – there are a number of countries that either abstained or voted against it, Australia should have been amongst those countries. “I disagree fundamentally with Richard Marles’ assessment of that, I think it diminishes us and what we really need is moral clarity – when a motion doesn’t have the moral clarity to condemn Hamas, I question why we’d support it.”

ACCC Chair Gina Cass-Gottlieb says the consumer watchdog has made a “number of recommendations” for banks to ensure it’s easier for customers to change banks. “So firstly, we want banks to notify customers when they’re changing rates, including when they’re offering new rates to new customers, because frequently loyal and existing customers don’t get the benefits – so that customers are alerted to it and can change," she told Sky News Australia. “In addition, we have found that in the first six months of this year, customers who are on a bonus rate failed to meet the conditions for the bonus rate." She said 71 per cent on average were not getting the benefit of the bonus rate they were entitled to on their deposit account. “And so we are asking banks to alert customers if they are coming close to breaching the conditions which apply to whether they get a bonus rate.”
