Sky News Contributor Kosha Gada says a New York jury finding Trump liable of sexual assault “won’t make any difference politically” as there is precedent for presidential candidates running from prison.
“You’re just going to see all the segments of the US electorate galvanise, there are those who see Trump as a hero and a martyr and they’re going to see today’s ruling by the jury as a victory,” Ms Gada told Sky News host Amanda Stoker.
“It won’t make any difference not politically … not legally because this is a civil lawsuit, he will appeal it and even in the case of a conviction there is precedent that you can run from prison in the US, that’s happened before … don’t expect this to silence Trump.”

ABC’s coverage of King’s coronation was a ‘woke bin fire’ of ‘self-loathing’The ABC's 'disgraceful' coverage of King Charles' coronation was nothing short of a 'woke bin fire of self loathing', says Sky News host James Morrow. 'Throwing not red meat, but tofu to an inner city audience of Twitter addicts with pronouns in their profiles,' Mr Morrow said. Mr Morrow said Q&A presenter Stan Grant was put on a panel before the King's coronation to run down the event, Great Britain, and modern, post-settlement Australia. 'There, Grant was joined by a number of other panelists to talk about just how awful the coronation was, how terrible Great Britain is ... and how Australia must pick over the scabs of history to win his and the ABC's approval. 'Australian Republican Movement co-chair Craig Foster joined him, saying the crown was 'at the heart of the wound in this nation'.'

‘Weird racial dimension’: Actress’ comment about ‘terribly white’ royal balcony was ‘pathetic’Actress Adjoa Andoh's comments about the royal balcony being “terribly white” is a “terribly bad view,” according to Sky News Australia host Piers Morgan. “I would go as far as to call it race-baiting, it’s drawing some weird racial dimension to a family we know the senior members are white, we know their kids are white,” Mr Morgan said. “What’s the problem? They made the service and the procession more multicultural than anything of its kind in the history of the world probably. “And all I’m hearing is ‘they’re all terribly white’ – it’s pathetic.”

Morrison govt’s policies helped ‘lay the foundation’ for budget turnaroundA budget surplus would be a “huge turnaround” but the praise shouldn’t be given to Treasurer Jim Chalmers, says Sky News host Amanda Stoker. “Australia's recovery from the pandemic really has been remarkable – but it wasn't by accident – it was the product of Australians and their hard work and tenacity,' Ms Stoker said. “The Morrison government put in place the policies that were needed to lay the foundation for this turnaround. “JobKeeper supported 4 million people being kept on the books of over 1 million businesses – avoiding the unemployment queues on mass and making a fast bounce-back of the economy a reality. “The cash flow boost was a lifeline to over 800,000 businesses, most of them in the small to medium size bracket.”
