‘Infested with politics': Sesame Street continues to push ideologies on children
Sky News host James Macpherson criticises the children's television show Sesame Street for 'politicising children".

'No one would dispute that it is good to teach kids to be loving and respectful, but the clue is they only do it during pride month and specifically regarding LGBTQ. 'Then they accuse anybody who objects to this as being against love and acceptance. 'What people are annoyed about is politicising children.'

Prison ban on cigarettes questioned with nicotine smuggling on the rise
Sky News host James Macpherson poses the question on if Australian prison inmates should be allowed to smoke cigarettes following a rise in nicotine smuggling. 'Here is a question, should prisoners be allowed to smoke cigarettes in jail? They were up until 2015 when it was banned and instead prisoners were supplied with nicotine patches,' Mr Macpherson said. 'But then they started using nicotine patches combined with pages ripped from the Bible to make their own cigarettes and so they were banned and now we have got a situation where liquid nicotine, that is used to make e-cigarettes, is one of the most smuggled items in prisons around Australia.'
