‘Sweet justice': Ian Plimer on the election downfall of the Greens
The Greens have lost two seats and gained another as its leader's future in parliament is under threat from a massive Labor victory in the 2025 Federal Election.
'(Bandt) has been targeted by some groups like Advance who very, very successfully targeted the hypocrisy and the anti-everything of the Greens,' Mr Plimer said.
'Maybe there is a God in heaven.'

US ‘claiming a win' after Labor lifts American beef ban
Sky News host James Macpherson says the Trump administration is 'claiming a win' after Labor lifted the long-standing ban on US beef. 'The Albanese government has insisted its sudden decision to lift the beef ban had nothing to do with trade and certainly nothing to do with Donald Trump,' Mr Macpherson said. 'So, it is all just a weird coincidence.'

‘Fiscal responsibility': Albanese's HECS promise labelled a ‘vote-buying exercise'
Sky News host James Macpherson comments on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's vow to cut HECS debt by 20 per cent. 'Labor politicians have made a huge song and dance about cutting student debt by 20 percent,' Mr Macpherson said. ''The Albanese government's $16 billion student loan handout was nothing more than a vote-buying exercise - an irresponsible bribe paid for with borrowed money on the national credit card.' 'The irony is that tradies – many of whom never attended university - will be among those forced to pay down the debt of people with degrees. 'Except 'students' needs an apostrophe - which is ironic, considering we're now bankrolling degrees in English.'

‘Self-flagellation wrapped in identity politics': Acknowledgement of Country slammed
Sky News host James Macpherson discusses the first days of parliament, in which the Acknowledgment of Country was performed several times. 'The first order of business for any freshly minted Labor MP these days is not to represent their constituents or offer policy ideas - it's to perform an Acknowledgement of Country,' Mr Macpherson said. 'And this week, one after the other, in a conga line of colonialist contrition, they stood in Parliament to mumble the now-compulsory lines. 'It wasn't just the repetition that struck me, though heaven knows, if I hear 'I acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land' one more time, I'll need my own Welcome to Insanity. 'The land is not yours. The air is not yours. And, watching all of that, you get the idea that a Labor seat in parliament isn't yours either … unless you remember to dutifully recite the right lines at the start of every speech. This isn't reconciliation. It's self-flagellation wrapped in identity politics."
