‘Do it immediately': Ray Hadley lashes out at shark net madness
Premier Chris Minns must act now to stop the removal of shark nets from Sydney beaches ahead of the summer season, starting September 1. Three councils, Waverley, Northern Beaches and Central Coast, have been given the option to trial one beach each without a shark net. The Greens are being blamed, but Central Coast Mayor Lawrie McKinna says he was not involved in the decision: 'That decision was taken by the administrator. We don't want to remove shark nets from our beaches'. He said people travelled to the area specifically because of the safety of its beaches. So who is playing Russian roulette with swimmers and surfers? According to McKinna, it's the Minns Labor government - and particularly the left faction led by Upper House MP Penny Sharpe. Chris Minns, with a stroke of the pen, you can stop this. You can say: 'No, the nets are staying'. If there is a shark attack on one of these beaches next summer after the nets are removed, the blame will fall squarely on your shoulders. Pick up the pen. Do it. You must act immediately.

Major truth bomb dropped about Obama administration's ‘bluff' on Russia hoax
Sky News host James Morrow discusses the 'great tell' in a declassified intelligence report about the former Obama administration and the 2016 Russia hoax scandal. 'This report was called Assessing Russian Activities and Intentions in Recent US Elections, and it looked at Russia and the Russia hoax and found that the intelligence community's assessment of the Russians' hacking of the 2016 election was extremely fraudulent,' he said. 'The report was used to tar Trump, included the line Putin's inner circle strongly preferred Republicans over Democrat candidates because they judged that Republicans had historically been less focused on democracy and human rights. 'This is what poker players call a tell; a sign that the people behind this knew they were trying to bluff everyone.'
