Sky New Australia host Caleb Bond has questioned how long until people “wake up” to the “simple matter of fairness” surrounding the debate about transgender people joining female sporting teams. Mr Bond’s comments come as a Sydney soccer team with five trans players won every game in the league. “There are many sporting leagues and organisations that have banned transgender people from playing,” Mr Bond said. “But we still have leagues including the AFL in this country that have made no decision on these matters. “It is abundantly evident, not only from the anecdotal evidence like this case, but the scientific evidence that a biological male who has been through puberty has an advantage over a biological female. “How long does it take us to wake up and say this is simply a matter of fairness?”

‘The Snake Hunter’ Mark Pelley discusses how he dealt with the criticism he faced after nearly dying from a snakebite. Mr Pelley told Sky News host Rita Panahi “you’re never criticised by those doing more than you in life”. “Dave Chappelle said it best – when a hero stumbles, cowards rejoice. “The very few people who had something nasty to say, it’s a reflection of themselves rather than me. “No matter what you do in life, you’re going to get haters.”

GB News host Darren Grimes has blasted the Late Show host Stephen Colbert following his remarks on Princess Catherine. The Late Show host poked fun at the Princess of Wales' absence from the public eye during his March 13 episode, weighing into theories Prince William was having an affair. However, has since addressed his controversial remarks following Kate’s revelation on Friday that she had actually been battling cancer. Mr Colbert tried to explain the reasoning behind his jokes during Monday night's show, “I mean, a lot of my jokes have upset people in the past, and I’m sure some of my jokes will upset people in the future”. Mr Grimes labelled the Late Show host a “liberal lout”. “It wasn’t a joke, I actually think in reporting that, thought he was giving some really cool insightful gossip,” Mr Grimes told Sky News host Rita Panahi.

‘The Snake Hunter’ Mark Pelley reveals his “critical” tips to maximise the chances of surviving a snakebite. “The first step you take is you step away from the snake,” he told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “Don’t try to touch it, don’t try to handle it. “Once you’re safely away from the snake, immediately call 000. “If you have no help around you, it’s better to walk to a position where you can call for help rather than lay there and let the snake venom take you out. “Once there, stay as still as you can and apply a pressure bandage, and follow the instructions of 000 – it’s critical.”

The Australian's Environment Editor Graham Llyod has called Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s $1 billion dollar solar panel program “unsustainable”, arguing it’s not economically feasible. The Prime Minister spruiked a $1 billion investment for Australian-made solar panels during a visit to New South Wales’ Hunter Valley region on Thursday. “The problem is as solar panel firms all around the world have found out, they can’t compete with China on price,” Mr Lloyd told Sky News Australia host Steve Price. “So, the result here will be these panels will be more expensive than ones we can get from overseas. “The arguments becomes is there an economic benefit in putting money into that rather than something else. “There’s a lot more politics in it than there is economics.

Strategic Analysis Australia Director Michael Shoebridge says there are “big problems” for Australia if war broke out in our region considering imports and infrastructure. “There is a real schizophrenia here,” he said. “There are two big problems if a war broke out and our overseas trade was interrupted. “Australia is more dependent on imports from China than any other developed economy on the planet. “In the defence sector they seem to not know what Australian companies can make that will be critical to our military in times of war.”

University of Melbourne INTL Relations Professor Michael Wesley says the collapse of the Baltimore bridge “really reinforces how old much of the critical infrastructure in the United States is”. Mr Wesley says the bridge is now “decades old”. “Reports coming through it really wasn’t safe, particularly to misadventures like that. “A number of experts have said that a modern bridge would not have been built to those modern specifications. “When critical infrastructure like that goes down it could have massive effects on a national economy.”

NAAJA Advocacy Manager Jared Sharp says the “wrong approach” is being taken in Alice Springs as “youth curfews do not work”. Northern Territory Chief Minister Eva Lawler has declared an ‘emergency situation’ in the Alice Springs CBD to combat crime. A two-week youth curfew will be put in place as part of the response. “To me, the problem is the response that’s been instigated of a curfew for all young people in Alice Springs from 6pm until 6am is entirely the wrong approach in terms of what’s needed,” Mr Sharp told Sky News Australia. “What is needed is responses that are developed in consultation with the Aboriginal community … and to look at the evidence of what works. “Youth curfews do not work.”

NAAJA Advocacy Manager Jared Sharp says the government “hasn’t consulted with anyone” in Alice Springs which is a “major problem”. Northern Territory Chief Minister Eva Lawler has declared an ‘emergency situation’ in the Alice Springs CBD to combat crime. A two-week youth curfew will be put in place as part of the response. “There’s a couple of problems here, and I think one of the major problems is that the government hasn’t consulted with anyone before doing this,” Mr Sharp told Sky News Australia. “We haven’t seen what these emergency powers actually are … they really need to be spelt out so police on the ground know exactly what they can and can’t do.”

Despite the singer’s embarrassing situation, he laughed it off and announced to the crowd “I’ve split my trousers." The Grammy winner continued with his set, unfazed by the wardrobe mishap. Users on X subsequently roasted Smith online, with users theorising he cut the pants. “He cut that himself. He's got some disgusting humiliation kink and all this nonsense is the result of it,” wrote one user. Smith was performing at a Lollapalooza festival in Argentina while on his ‘Gloria the Tour’ concert at the time of the split.

University of Melbourne International Relations Professor Michael Wesley says a lot of Americans are “supporting” US President Joe Biden’s proposal to “start taxing the super-rich”. Mr Wesley said it would be a “real point of demarcation” between Biden and Donald Trump. “If it gets up and it is popular, it would end a long period of time of which taxes were seen as a bad thing.” Mr Wesley says there are “so many unknowns” about the 2024 Presidential race between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. “Whether it be the trials that Donald Trump faces, you could have something as basic as a major fall for Biden or a massive gaff during one of his campaign speeches or indeed something happening internationally.”

Sky News host James Macpherson says Catholics have reacted with “absolute shock” to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s suggestion of working with the Greens on religious freedoms. Mr Macpherson says they have described it as “dangerous”. “Anthony Albanese is pretty keen to pass recommendations from the Australian Law Reform Commission which would limit Christian schools’ ability to employ staff who live by Christian values and ethos and to retain students who are Christians,” Mr Macpherson said. “Catholics have reacted with absolute shock calling the decision for Anthony Albanese to even suggest working with the Greens on religious freedom as ‘dangerous’.” The Prime Minister said the government is “concerned about all the forms of discrimination”. He also said if the Greens are willing to support the “rights of people to practice their faith, then that would be a way forward, but we don’t currently have that”.
