Sky News host Andrew Bolt says "you cannot trust" the mainstream media to report fairly on "this war against Israel". "Not when you have the ABC, the national broadcaster, claiming that the Islamic terrorists who have fired more than 3000 missiles now at Israel from Gaza, were just retaliating against Israel's bombing of Gaza, when the truth is exactly the other way around," Mr Bolt said. "Israel starting bombing Gaza to stop the rocket attacks which had already started," he said. "It was retaliating". Mr Bolt spoke to the Co-CEO of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry Alex Ryvchin about various aspects of the conflict and its reporting in the media.

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says to get to the point of opening the borders, slowly, carefully and after the venerable have been vaccinated in Australia, our leaders must start planning now. Mr Bolt said our leaders must now start "preparing the public" for this change. "Convince them that yes, there is a risk, but it is a small one, a worthwhile one, one that we can manage, and we should manage," Mr Bolt said. "The prime minister today missed that chance to start talking of what he's going to be doing to be able to open our borders". "But here's my worry. The next federal election is likely this year or early next. "Does anyone really think this very poll-focused prime minister will dare to open the borders before then." "Now the prime minister does want Australia to stay under the doona".

Sky News host Peta Credlin says thousands of Victorian families are set to be slugged by increases to stamp duty and land tax. "Jobs will be hit in industries under pressure," Ms Credlin said. Ms Credlin spoke to the Victorian Executive Director of the Property Council of Australia, Danni Hunter. "There is no doubt in our mind that this is a tax on Victorian families, a tax on Victorian jobs and a tax on Victorian investment," Ms Hunter told Sky News. "In so many ways this tax will hit families, will hit workers, will hit investment and new projects through land tax hikes, the stamp duty increases and also the new tax on investment".

Sky News host Chris Kenny says journalists who gave Australians “anti-Israel bias” in their reporting are now looking for more support in their anti-Israel campaigning. Mr Kenny said he has shown how the ABC is “misreporting and misrepresenting events in the Middle East" as he spoke of the unfolding events in the Israel-Palestine conflict and its portrayal in the media. He discussed a recent push among some journalists in Australia, “with the encouragement of the journalists’ union,” who are signing up to an open letter complaining about coverage of these issues. “Not because of its anti-Israel bias but because they don't think it is sufficiently pro-Palestinian,” Mr Kenny said. “Apparently dozens of journalists have signed this in Australia. No doubt many from the ABC,” he said. “So, journalists who give us anti-Israel bias in their reporting are now looking to get more support for their anti-Israel campaigning, and they even demand immunity from criticism for their bias. “They reckon they ought to be able to campaign against Israel, instead of being objective journalists, but be free from any sanction professionally over this. “Just more proof that the journalists’ union is a big part of the problem in this era of fake news.”
