Ms Markson questioned Mr Buzolic on the education department agreeing to review whether schools are required to “stay neutral” on the war in Palestine.

New South Wales Nationals Leader Dugald Saunders says renewables will need to be included in Australia’s energy “mix”. “The point about the transition to renewables is, if managed well, it can work,” Mr Saunders said. “I think you need a mix of power and part of the mix would be renewables.”

New South Wales Nationals Leader Dugald Saunders says Labor’s renewable push in regional areas are placing pressure on a “range” of council assets which they may not have the capacity to upgrade. “It is putting more pressure on a range of assets like water, sewer, waste, which simply some councils don't have capacity to upgrade without significant help from the government,” Mr Saunders said. “Which at this point in time is not there and it is not being promised.”

"What he [Peter Dutton] had to say resonated with a lot of Australians for a very simple reason, Australians are scared," Mr Carlyon told Sky News host Rita Panahi. "We have seen the protest since October 7; we have seen Jewish people feel unsafe in their own country. "People want to know that there are better checks."

Mr Kenny is joined by New South Wales Nationals Leader Dugald Saunders to discuss Labor’s renewable projects.

Sky News Business Editor Ross Greenwood says there are concerns China’s economic downturn is “worse” than feared. Mr Greenwood said this comes as one of China’s “most successful” global retailers, PDD Holdings, revealed “profit and sales must inevitably slow”. “PDD owns the online retailer Temu, now the most downloaded free app in America, parts of Europe, the UK, Japan and South Korea," he said. “It was launched in Australia in April last year and by August overtook Amazon as the most downloaded free shopping app here. “Temu … is known for the cheapness of the products it sells and the deals it offers. “In China, consumers are struggling under the weight of the massive property crash that hurt disposable wealth. "But PDD was expected to hold up because of the cheapness of the goods it sells.”

Tasmanian Labor leader Dean Winter has joined Sky News Chief News Anchor Kieran Gilbert to discuss issues confronting regional and rural communities in Australia's southernmost state during day three of the 2024 Bush Summit. “We strongly support native forestry, I think designs made in other states are the wrong ones,” Mr Winter said. “You can see that what’s happening in Tasmania at the moment is we are actually exporting whole logs from Tasmania that are going to Victoria where they have shut down native forestry – it’s ridiculous.”

Hollywood filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has defended Vice President Kamala Harris for not facing the press. Tarantino appeared on the Club Random podcast with talk show host Bill Maher on Sunday to discuss cinema and politics. During the episode, the two eventually discussed US politics and how the vice president has continued to avoid the media. Maher, considered a left-leaning centrist Democrat, criticised Harris for ducking the media. Tarantino, however, disagrees and thinks the Democratic Party has not been given “enough credit” for handling Harris’ campaign. “What most people don’t give the Democrats enough credit for, but we give the Republicans credit for, it’s, like, ‘No, sometimes it’s just about f***ing winning, and it doesn’t matter how we look at this moment. It’s about f***ing winning,’” he said.

Sky News Chief News Anchor Kieran Gilbert joins 2024 Bush Summit rural technology panel to discuss some of the key issues communities face in Australia's southernmost state.

Conservative not-for-profit group 'Action 4 Liberty MN’ has set up an anti-Tim Walz booth that has become a popular attraction at the Minnesota State Fair, with attendees lining up for a chance to win 'Never Walz' prizes. Attendees had the opportunity to spin a wheel and win signage or apparel. Videos of the attraction have gone viral on social media, showing long lines. Action 4 Liberty leader and former Republican Representative Erik Mortensen has described the response as "overwhelming." Mortensen told Fox News Digital that the booth was named after his bill 'Never Again,' which aims to remove the governor's ability to unilaterally declare an emergency. He criticised Walz, saying, "He pretends to be some folksy Midwesterner, but he's a thin-skinned, power-drunk tyrant who has destroyed our state and repeatedly violated Minnesotans' liberties." Since Tim Walz became Kamala Harris' running mate and was nominated at the DNC in Chicago last week, Republicans have been attacking the Minnesota Governor over past controversies.

Former Victorian Liberal Party president Michael Kroger says Jim Chalmers needs to stick to “cutting government expenditure”. Treasurer Jim Chalmers has doubled down on his call that Peter Dutton is not only “dangerous” but the “most divisive leader in Australia’s modern history”. “This is kindergarten stuff from Jim Chalmers,” Mr Kroger said. “It’s hard to take this bloke seriously – he is a poor man’s Jim Cairns.”

Sky News host Paul Murray has called out the “passive aggressive, snarky snobbery” of panellists who discuss US politics in the media. “Watch the difference between the orange hair lady who used to work for the Biden campaign ... and the bloke who I think used to work for George W Bush,” he said. “When he talks about the reality of the gaslighting of the Democrats, watch how she just ignores what he says and makes up something – this happens to Trump every day. “What garbage.”

According to the Australian Financial Review, the Coalition is looking to fund its promised tax cuts by scrapping a raft of Labor policies if it wins the next election.

Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has called out the Albanese government over its “wasteful” budget spending. The Coalition will go to the next election with budget and off-budget savings of close to $100 billion, which will see Labor spending programs axed. “I want to draw everyone’s attention to one clear message, which is that unless you grow the economy faster than government spending, we will still have this country in a productivity slump,” Ms Ley told Sky News Australia. “Of course, we’re identifying areas of wasteful spending, including off-budget spending that has been pushing up interest rates.”

Deputy Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has slammed Treasurer Jim Chalmers as “ridiculous” for “trying to talk tough”. This comes after Mr Chalmers branded Opposition Leader Peter Dutton as “dangerous” during a speech at the John Curtin Research Centre in Melbourne. “I think Jim Chalmers is trying to talk tough to his Labor colleagues – that’s what I think he’s actually doing,” Ms Ley told Sky News Australia. “It’s ridiculous to suggest what he’s doing in the face of the evidence.”
