Sky News host Steve Price says there are a lot of desperate people trying to “muddy the waters” around immigration and border control. “The Greens, the left of the Labor Party, the normal suspects who would up and throw open our borders to anyone – you know the types,” Mr Price said. “But the things this country must do is learn from the overseas experience that’s happening right now and has happened in the past. “We have the open border in the US that’s been a disaster for many American communities and we all know just how fractured Britain is right at the moment.”

Former US president Donald Trump “needs to stop attacking” Vice President Kamala Harris and focus on how he can improve current policies, says Small Business Women Australia Founder Amanda Rose. “What Trump needs to stop doing is attacking the person individually and really focus more on the policies,” Ms Rose told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “And also what he will do that is different. “He needs to give people hope and a vision rather than just beating on the person that’s currently there.”

Sports anchor Sam Ponder was fired with football analyst former NFL player Robert Griffin III due to cost-cutting moves in ESPN, according to The Athletic. Ponder was among a tiny group of personalities at the network who called for fairness in women's sports amid the controversy over trans athletes participating in women's sports. The decision to fire Sam Ponder created outrage on social media with many commentators posting their reactions on X. Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines criticised ESPN’s decision saying it's “not a coincidence.” “So ESPN fires @samponder, the only woman at the network who was publicly said men don't belong in women's sports,” she said. Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy posted a viral video reacting to Ponder's firing wishing her "good luck" despite his controversial history with the sports anchor.

Donald Trump is “exposing” Kamala Harris through his rambling press conferences as the vice president refuses to front the media, according to former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney. Mr Mulvaney said the vice president has not yet proved she can take questions from the press. “That may be another one of the angles that he's testing out here to see which one of those sorts of messages lands the most punches on the Kamala Harris campaign here in the last days of the election,” he told Sky News host James Morrow.

Donald Trump’s campaign team is still “figuring out” what message to push for the presidential election, according to former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney. Mr Mulvaney said the former president is trying to link Kamala Harris to Joe Biden as much as he can. “They're facing an interesting challenge. I've talked about this on the show before which is most Americans except those who follow politics very closely don't know who the vice president is,” he told Sky News host James Morrow. “It's not a very substantial or meaningful position outside of election day and so forth.”

Former White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney analyses Kamala Harris' campaign strategy as the vice president refuses to front the media. Mr Mulvaney said the vice president is making a “gamble” by keeping quiet and has not proved she can take questions from the press yet. “In the eyes of the voters, I don't think you can be the president if you can't stand in front of the press and answer questions for half an hour or 45 minutes. Kamala Harris has not done that yet,” he told Sky News host James Morrow.

Wrong Speak Publishing Founder Adam B Coleman says leftists and academics are “making excuses” for Australian breakdancer Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn’s performance at the Paris Olympic Games. “There’s obviously people who are mocking her performance and, you know, rightfully so. But I noticed that the people who are defending her were often ... leftists and the other group were academics, and they just started making excuses,” he told Sky News host James Morrow. “These are the academic class; they always cover for each other. “But someone with, you know, eyes who actually watched it can just judge her based off of her performance, which was terrible.”

Sky News host James Morrow warns US Vice President Kamala Harris is up to her “old gibberish ways” after she attempted to explain democracy. “Kamala Harris is up to her old gibberish ways, only she’s not explaining school buses or Venn diagrams anymore, no, she’s taking on the topic of democracy,” Mr Morrow said. “What is she talking about? The duality of democracy, the duality of man; I mean, what does she think this is? Full Metal Jacket?”

Sky News host James Morrow has called US President Joe Biden out for telling a “malarkey” story about him and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Tibet. President Biden claimed he travelled 17,000 miles with China’s President Xi Jinping despite this being fact-checked in the past to be inaccurate. “Houston, we have a problem, and his name is Joe Biden,” Mr Morrow said. “That story about Joe Biden and Xi Jinping in Tibet is such a load of ... malarkey that even the Washington Post gave it three Pinocchios. “Anyway, I guess the best we can hope for for the next few months is that ‘old man yells at clouds’ Biden as the man sails off into the sunset yelling at the press.”

Independent MP Zali Steggall blasted Opposition Leader Peter Dutton – calling him a "racist" on the floor of parliament in a fiery debate over people arriving from Gaza. “It was raised this week, Dutton was accused of racism – which of course he denied – and we had ourselves an argument that was quite real,” Mr Richardson told Sky News Australia.

Former US President Donald Trump has attacked US Vice President Kamala Harris on numerous policies during a long press conference. Donald Trump was at his property in New Jersey and had a podium of groceries standing next to him to slam the Biden-Harris administration over the rising costs of goods. Donald Trump labelled Kamala Harris as “the worst border Czar in history” over her management of illegal immigration at the southern border. “She was the border Czar but she didn’t do anything, she’s the worst border Czar in history,” he said. Trump brought up Kamala Harris' immigration record and said "3 million illegal immigrants" were "stealing jobs from Americans." “Harris gave work permits and social security numbers to more than 3 million illegal immigrants to steal jobs from Americans,” Trump stated. “They are having a lot of problems with social security.”

The positive outcome is that the club plans to have Nathan available for the NRL Finals.”

US Vice President and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is striving to present herself as tough on immigration. However, the truth is that during her tenure, illegal border crossings have reached unprecedented levels. In 2024 alone, the Biden-Harris administration has seen a record-breaking 670,000 'gotaways' - people who have evaded capture after crossing the border. Now, as she campaigns for the presidency, Harris is promoting a strong stance on border security. Yet, despite being Vice President for over three years, she has not effectively addressed the issue. In this Sky News Digital Originals report, we examine Harris' record on border management and how the media are helping her reshape her history on this topic.

Five arrests have been made in relation to the death of Hollywood actor Matthew Perry. A post-mortem examination has found Mr Perry died from the “acute effects of ketamine”. One medical examiner claimed Mr Perry had levels of ketamine in his system similar to those administered to an individual undergoing general anaesthesia. “My office and our partners ... began an in-depth, wide-ranging investigation. That investigation has revealed a broad, underground criminal network responsible for distributing large quantities of ketamine to Mr Perry and others,” US Attorney Martin Estrada said during a media conference. Among those arrested are Mr Perry’s personal assistant, two medical doctors, and an alleged drug dealer named the “Ketamine Queen”, and the five have been accused of “taking advantage of Mr Perry’s addiction issues to enrich themselves”.
