Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his Energy Minister, Chris Bowen, are facing questions today following the use of two private jets to fly to the Hunter last week. Source: 2GB via Facebook. He argued the reason he couldn’t hitch a ride with the Prime Minister was simple: the runway could not accommodate a larger plane Mr Albanese would usually take. “The Prime Minister always travels with the Royal Australian Air Force … that’s for security reasons and quite appropriate,” Mr Bowen said.

“The runway at Scone wasn’t strong enough to take the large jet so the Air Force recommended, took a decision, for two small jets. ”Mr Bowen said the number of staff who accompanied the pair on the trip also had to be scaled back due to the weight restrictions.Mr Albanese and Mr Bowen travelled to Muswellbrook and announced the $1bn for the solar panel program,"

"Sky News Australia is considered by commentators to have a conservative, right-wing bias. Much of its coverage is frequently critical of Australia's main progressive political parties, Labor and the Greens, while being supportive of right-wing parties such as the Liberal-National Coalition and One Nation.[2][3]

Presenter Paul Murray has stated that "Sky News at night is a Liberal echo chamber".[50]
Sky News Australia has been a frequent critic of US President Joe Biden ever since he took office on 20 January 2021. Some reporters such as Andrew Bolt and Alan Jones have frequently spread unfounded claims about Biden's mental health, claiming it was declining, that Biden is unfit to be the President and suggesting he was suffering from dementia.[55][56]

Misinformation and conspiracy theories[edit] On 13 December 2020, Rowan Dean promoted the Great Reset conspiracy theory on Sky News Australia, claiming that "This Great Reset is as serious and dangerous a threat to our prosperity – to your prosperity and your freedom – as we have faced in decades".[8]As of February 2021, American far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones uses segments from Sky News Australia to back up his claims.[57]

On 1 August 2021, YouTube barred Sky News Australia from uploading new content onto their channel for a week for breaking YouTube's rules on posting videos containing COVID-19 misinformation.[62] Upon the channel's return to the platform, Sky News Australia published a piece titled "Uncancelled: Sky News Australia Set Free" wherein Digital Editor Jack Houghton claimed the channel's temporary banning was the result of Silicon Valley and left-wing media attempting to stifle free speech.[63]

A 2022 analysis by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, a British think tank, found that Sky News Australia was a major source for climate change misinformation"
