Albanese blasted for ‘negligent' speech by not addressing cost of living issues

Sky News AU10-06-2025
Institute of Public Affairs' Colleen Harkin says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's speech at the National Press Club on Tuesday was 'negligent' and was not filled with 'ambitiousness'.
'There was a lot of lofty motherhood statements,' Ms Harkin told Sky News host Rita Panahi.
'The real difference he can make in people's lives is the cost of living and energy bills.
'He really should be focused on what's broken at home.
'It was sort of, like being at an afternoon tea with the girls and a few glasses of champagne and not really concentrating on what people need him to do.'

‘What's justified and what's not': Dissecting Middle East conflict and pro-Palestine protests

On tonight's episode of Paul Murray Live, Sky News host Paul Murray discusses the Supreme Court ruling which gave the green light on the Sydney Harbour Bridge protests, escalating Middle East conflicts, and more. 'We look at this in multiple angles, we look at this in multiple ways, about what is justified, what's not justified, what's too much, what is not enough,' Mr Murray said. 'The process worth talking about tonight is not just the process itself … but I want to get back to the central idea which is if the elected premier of your state says an event should not happen, should it happen or not happen? When the police say the event should not happen … the courts end up having, in this case, the final say.'

Anti-Israel Sydney Harbour Bridge protest calls for death of Israeli soldiers

Sky News host James Macpherson discusses the anti-Israel Sydney Harbour Bridge protest, which had approximately 90,000 participants. 'Sydney Harbour Bridge was shut down today as 90,000 anti-Israel protesters marched for humanity,' Mr Macpherson said. 'Who knew marching for humanity meant calling for the death of Israeli soldiers or waving Hamas flags, Taliban flags and images of the supreme leader of Iran.'
