Sky News host Peta Credlin says Indigenous leader Noel Pearson is back to his “bullying worst” after targeting Shadow Indigenous Affairs Minister Jacinta Price. Ms Price fronted the National Press Club last week, where she claimed the Voice would reinforce the separatism that's bedevilled Aboriginal policy for decades. Mr Pearson tried to compare the shadow minister’s comments at the National Press Club with broad statements such as “all Mexicans are rapists”. Ms Credlin criticised the Yes23 campaigner for “viciously mischaracterising” Ms Price’s comments as a call for “assimilation”. “Pearson went on to accuse Price of being, quote, ‘delighted at our distress’, even though she's done far more than any of the race-power-obsessed Yes campaigners, Pearson included, to tackle the endemic violence against women and girls in remote Australia,” Ms Credlin said. “The bullying and moral intimidation of No campaigners by Yes activists has got to stop, but so far, the South Australian Labor Premier has been the only Yes person with the guts to call it out.”

‘Anti-nuclear zealot’: Peta Credlin slams Chris Bowen’s ‘own-goal’ on nuclearSky News host Peta Credlin has slammed Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen as an “anti-nuclear zealot” after inflating the cost of the Coalition’s proposed nuclear strategy. Mr Bowen claimed the Coalition’s plan to convert coal-fired power stations into nuclear small modular reactors would cost $387 billion. The Minister’s estimates allegedly factor in 70 new reactors, when experts say Australia may only need 10 reactors. “So on balance, Bowen's attack on nuclear power really looks more like an own-goal than a political winner – especially since Labor's so-called energy transition is just not happening as planned,” she said. “There is nothing like the 22,000 new solar panels going in every single day or the 40 large wind turbines every single month – let alone the 10,000 plus kilometres of new transmission lines, that Bowen himself has said were needed for the next seven years to meet Labor's legislated targets.”

Peta Credlin urges Victorian Liberals to give voters a ‘clear choice’Sky News host Peta Credlin has criticised the Victorian Liberal Party for lacking a policy position that is clearly distinct from Labor’s. A Redbridge poll saw the Coalition’s primary vote drop from 34.48 per cent to 34 per cent. Labor leads the Coalition 56.5 per cent to 43.5 per cent on a two-party preferred basis. Other than occasionally criticising the government for spending too much, Ms Credlin said it's hard to recall the Victorian Liberals standing for anything. “The problem at the heart of it is this: Victorian Liberals need to understand politics is not a beauty contest, but a contest of ideas that gives voters a clear and distinct choice,” she said.

Mr Clennell said Ms Price is a “weapon” when it comes to the argument against the Voice to Parliament. “More people would know Jacinta Price than would know the Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor at the moment.”
