‘Heartbroken and angry': Sharri Markson reacts to anti-Israeli terror attack in Colorado
Sky News host Sharri Markson the devastating terror attack on a rally to free Israeli hostages in Boulder, Colorado. 'It's true that the terror attacks, the violence, even the murder of Jews in America and other Western countries, are being excused by left-wing activists,' 'This is the reality of globalising the Intifada. We're seeing violence against Jews excused. The world, I am sorry to say, is in a dark place right now. 'The left can't pretend this is different, they can't turn violence into justifiable acts on account of it being anti-Zionism ... this is antisemitism and we can't let them get away with it.'

Paul Keating reportedly ‘furious' about Labor's planned super tax
Sky News host Sharri Markson says former prime minister Paul Keating is reportedly 'furious' about the Albanese government's idea of taxing unrealised capital gains. Veteran business columnist Robert Gottliebsen reports that both Paul Keating and Bill Kelty are preparing to publicly blast the Albanese Government over its proposed super tax. 'This will be big if Keating and Kelty are preparing to wage war on the Albanese government's plans to tax unrealised capital gains,' Ms Markson said. 'Let's hope they do, because it's unlikely Sussan Ley will be able to stop Jim Chalmers.'
