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".
