Sky News host Caleb Bond discusses comments made by New South Wales Premier Chris Minns on the possibility of getting rid of some of the red tape around drinking in public laws. “Good on Minns for getting behind the idea of pulling some red tape out of the way because, for heaven’s sake, if you can’t have a beer on the beach, we are not a serious country,” Mr Bond said. “It’s harming no one.”

Sky News host Caleb Bond says there are warnings the Queensland government could be an embarrassment to Australia when hosting the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. “The trouble the Queensland state government is in, is the Brisbane Olympics is meant to be the blueprint going forward for how you can host the Olympics without bankrupting a city or a country,” Mr Bond said. “They have kind of got to do a budget version of the Olympics.”

Sky News host Liz Storer discusses New South Wales Premier Chris Minns announcing a possible change to the state's drinking in public law.

The speech was entitled ‘Beware False Prophets’, says Sky News Business editor Ross Greenwood. “After showing modelling that suggests even the weather bureau predicts within a range of consistency, he noted that claiming supreme confidence or certainty over what is an intrinsically uncertain and ambiguous outlook is a dangerous game. “Money markets today say there's an 87.8 per cent chance the RBA won't change rates at its next meeting in September.”

Liberal Senator Dave Sharma says Australian government has a “duty” to not endanger the “citizens of this country”.

Sky News host Sharri Markson says the Albanese government allowing “Hamas sympathisers” into the country “beggars belief”. “The Albanese government is literally flying Hamas sympathisers into our country at taxpayers’ expense,” Ms Markson said. “It is lunacy, it is insanity, it is an inexplicable disregard for the safety of Australians, Germany is booting out Hamas supporters while Australia is flying them in, it is beggars belief.”

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says one thing “consistent” with the Liberal Party is they have “opposed” Labor’s cost of living measures. “They oppose the energy price relief plan that we put in place … they are opposed to fee-free Tafe … they were opposed to cheaper childcare,” Mr Albanese said during Question Time on Monday. “We know also, that those opposite when it comes to economic policy, do have some half-baked plans … they have a plan for nuclear reactors sometime in the 2040s but they won’t tell us how much it will cost.”

Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle brand American Riviera Orchard has reportedly suffered a huge new setback due to ‘irregularities’ in her trademark application. News Corp Columnist Angela Mollard joined Sky News host Caroline Di Russo to discuss the recent blow to the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle brand. “Yep, she's in a jam that girl,” Ms Mollard said. “American Riviera Orchard has the longest name and now it has the longest launch in Christendom to actually get the product on the shelves.” "If she's actually gone into production with those jams, they would have gone past their use-by date by the time this product actually hits the shelves, cause it's now not expected to come out until next year. "She looks seriously amateur by having this delay."

Sky News host Gabriella Power has blasted the 81-year-old President for failing to step down as leader. President Biden was asked by CBS News chief election and campaign correspondent Robert Costa what he "would say” to those who have “raised questions” about his cognitive health and his ability to lead for the rest of his term. President Biden responded with “All I can say is, watch”. Ms Power said, “How can we trust Joe Biden to keep running the country for the next five month?” “It’s not funny anymore. And the mainstream media is choosing to ignore this so they can focus on propping up Kamala Harris,” Ms Power said.

Bondi Partners Senior Advisor Peter McGauran says Opposition Leader Peter Dutton is running a “classic opposition textbook campaign” for the next federal election. Support for the Albanese government has fallen, according to the latest Newspoll. Labor’s primary vote has decreased to 32 per cent, while support for the Coalition has increased to 39 per cent. “The nuclear policy is not going to win him [Peter Dutton] the election because it doesn’t feed directly into the cost of living issue,” Mr McGauran told Sky News Australia. “But it’s established Dutton and the Opposition and given them a political benefit on a whole other range of fronts. “Dutton’s running a classic opposition textbook campaign – small target except for some defining issues to prove he’s got the courage of his convictions.”
