‘Buffoonery knows no bounds': Pro-Palestine group to march over Sydney Harbour Bridge
'Well, good luck if you're planning to travel to and from the Sydney CBD on Sunday, the Harbour Bridge is about to be hijacked by anti-Israel activists,' Ms De Giorgio said.
'Do they understand anything about notices and permits? And look, it is not just in Sydney where these people are seeking relevance.'

Australia to take teen social media ban plan global, despite Wiggles' complaints
Australia will take its social media ban to New York to push world leaders to protect children online despite the Trump administration's defence of US tech companies and attacks on digital censorship. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese revealed on Wednesday he would hold an event in New York in September to coincide with a United Nations meeting, after the government defied threats from YouTube's parent company to sue if the site was included in the ban. Communications Minister Anika Wells confirmed the chief executive of children's music superstars The Wiggles, Kate Chiodo, was brought in to advocate against barring children under 16 from logging in to the platform. 'For clarity, it was the black skivvies, Wiggles Inc, Wiggles management, not individual members of our cherished national icon the Wiggles,' Wells said on Wednesday. The prime minister added: 'We're not here to sledge the Wiggles. Let's be very clear, my government is pro-Wiggle'. YouTube Kids will escape the social media ban, but the main platform will be included in the ban along with sites such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, X and Snapchat. The ban is set to start on December 10. The prime minister said advocacy groups that campaigned for the ban, including 36 Months and Let Them Be Kids, would be part of the event in New York in September. 'We will continue to advocate, this is our position, it is up to other nations what they do, but I know from the discussions I have had with other leaders, that they are looking at this,' he said. Albanese remained unfazed when asked about US President Donald Trump's close relationship with the tech giants, confirming the social media ban had not come up in conversations between him and the president.

‘Hoodwinked': Media outlets torched for falling for Hamas' propaganda
Sky News host Danica De Giorgio discusses the New York Times's backpedalling on a recently posted image of a starving Gazan child, stating the child suffered from a 'serious genetic condition'. 'I spoke last night about the media around the world and at home being hoodwinked by Hamas' propaganda - believing the lies being peddled out of Gaza from the terror group,' Ms De Giorgio said. 'None more than the New York Times, which ran this front page last Friday with the headline 'young, old, sick, starve to death in Gaza' with a picture of 18-month-old Muhammad Zakariya Ayyoub al-Matouq being held by his mother. 'The paper has been forced to admit that photo was indeed misleading, as we have been reporting, as I said on the show last night - the child has a serious genetic condition and suffers from cerebral palsy.'

UK joins ‘conga line of capitulation' as nation pledges to recognise Palestinian state
Sky News host James Macpherson says UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has joined the 'conga line of capitulation' as he has claimed the UK will recognise a Palestinian state. 'When Hamas terrorists swarmed into Israel on October 7 and slaughtered more than 1000 Jews, they knew exactly what they were doing," Mr Macpherson said. 'They knew Israel would retaliate with the fury of a nation defending its right to exist, and they knew that Gazans would suffer greatly. 'They also knew that Western media would dutifully republish Hamas propaganda with all the scepticism of a Labrador being offered a snack. 'Now, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, well, he's joined the conga line of capitulation.'
