Kerri-Anne Kennerley’s scathing attack on Bill Shorten: “The end of life as we know it”
TV veteran Kerri-Anne Kennerley has launched a scathing attack on Bill Shorten, saying that if elected, the politician would spark an “end to life as we know it”.
The Studio 10 panellist slammed the leader of the Labor Party this morning, only a few short days before the Federal Election, saying that his policies would damage Australia.
She started her ferocious rant by criticising Labor’s taxation plan, which is aimed towards the “top end of town” in order to provide broader tax cuts for low-income earners.
“If Bill Shorten gets in, it’s the end of life as we know it,” she said. “Honestly, without question.”
She then unleashed her frustration on planned changes to franking credits, which allows retirees to receive a tax refund on dividends.
“Taking money retrospectively, as they will do, that franking credits … this is the way (for) self-funded retirees to not leach off the government pension. They look after themselves. They’ve got a plan. He’ll rip that off them.”
But she saved the majority of her anger for her last critique, as she fired up about Labor’s plan to establish a National Gender Centre.
If I become one of those 60-something white blonde women ranting about shiz I have no understanding of on national TV, like I have some right to be heard on these issues because I used to be relevant 100 years ago, please just lock me away somewhere, away from cameras

Dear Kerri Anne Kennerley,
You don’t actually have a problem with Bill Shorten.
You are - tragically - just terrified of change.

Kerri-Anne Kennerley seems to have utterly lost the plot. #auspol

kerri-anne kennerley once again showing everyone how batshit insane she is would be hilarious if it wasn’t so scary that a lot of people use these stupid day time tv shows as their only source of news and confuse the opinions of the hosts as factual statements

“One thing I’m seriously outraged about, the millions and millions they’ll spend on a Gender Commission,” said Kennerley.
“These kids out there who are gender confused, and there’s a percentage of people out there gender confused, they will put up this Commission and we, like Tasmania, will have a child and it won’t be male or female, it will be gender-free.
“That’ll be national.”
It’s worth noting that in Tasmania the Liberal Party is in power. The optional gender on birth certificates rule was introduced by the State Parliament in April.
Shorten has not expressed any indication that he would force the nation to adopt the same procedure, and regardless, matters of this nature are controlled by each individual state.
“And if your child is confused, the rights of your child will go to them, you will have no rights as a parent. That child will go, ‘I want to be either a boy or girl, please give me whatever I need’ and you as a parent will have no choice.”
In the policy detail released by the opposition, they have not suggested that would be the case in any shape or form.
