Clinical Psychiatrist Tenveer Ahmed says he would expect Elon Musk to allow at least some banned Twitter users back on the platform. "He's certainly been a big champion of free speech so I think he needs to at least bring some of them back to show that he's serious," Mr Ahmed told Sky News host Jenna Clarke.

Sky News host Cory Bernardi says most people are not politically engaged. “Most of the people I spoke to over Easter … they’re not talking about the election at all yet. They’re focused on enjoying school holidays or enjoying the long weekends,” he told Sky News host Paul Murray. “They will turn on … I think they’ve just checked out themselves and the pointy end of it will come in the next three weeks or so. “They’re going to start to switch on now.”

Sky News host Paul Murray says there has been $22 billion worth of "broken promises" with Labor in Opposition. "Or more importantly, $22 billion worth of lies and BS," Mr Murray said. "They are announcing for the short-term political gain then scrapping their own ideas."

The Australian’s Foreign Editor Greg Sheridan says Labor’s Deputy Leader Richard Marles has “damaged his own side” and somewhat damaged Australian politics by these “strange and inexplicable comments” on China. It comes amid further revelations from Mr Marles’ 2019 trip to Beijing, where he called for closer defence ties with the communist country. “I think he would be much better now to repudiate those comments,” Mr Sheridan told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “Just leaving them out there … allows the government to say, ‘look this is the nonsense you get from the Labor party’”.

The western world is selling its soul to China for "pieces of silver," according to Brexit leader Nigel Farage. "We are literally, the western world, we are selling our souls for pieces of silver and there are too many people in politics, media and business who are happy to do it, to line their own pockets," Mr Farage told Sky News host Paul Murray. "China is a very serious potential enemy of ours – we've got to start thinking very differently and quickly."

Queensland Liberal Senator Amanda Stoker says, “the list of things” Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese “does not understand, just keeps on piling up”. “We’ve already seen that Labor’s policy for aged care doesn’t stack up and that they cannot supply nurses from Australia, in the way that they initially promised,” she told Sky News host Paul Murray. “It is a pattern of incompetence now.”

Elon Musk will transform social media platform Twitter into a bastion of free speech, while providing a nightmare scenario for Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg, in a multi-billion-dollar deal that promises to drastically and permanently alter the social media landscape.

The Australian’s editor-at-large Paul Kelly says the upcoming federal election is not about “big ideas” or “big policy prescriptions”, but instead, both sides are running a “cautious agenda”. Mr Kelly said this is a result of the Morrison government having a "bad 12 months" and the Opposition reflecting on its "ambitious" 2019 election campaign. “We’ve got two sides running negative campaigns against one another but the fundamental and big issues facing the country, they are not being addressed,” Mr Kelly told Sky News host Andrew Bolt.

Nationals Senator Matt Canavan says people are “very concerned about their job (and) their cost of living” regarding the possibility of a carbon tax being introduced if the Labor Party is elected into government. “I think a lot of people have been shocked in the last few days to hear this because there hasn’t been a lot of reporting on it,” he told Sky News host Peta Credlin. “This is not just coal mines … it includes 66 businesses in Western Australia, including almost all iron ore mines, gas facilities, gold, nickel mines as well. “This is a massive mining tax.”

The main reason Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese is limiting his media presence is because whenever he talks, “Labor's weaknesses are exposed”, according to Sky News host Chris Kenny. It comes as Prime Miniter Scott Morrison has slightly increased his lead as preferred prime minister, but Labor remains in poll position as the two-party gap remains unchanged. An exclusive Newspoll conducted by The Australian showed Labor maintain its 53 to 47 per cent preference over the Coalition – meaning it would secure majority government. “Their leader Anthony Albanese has hardly been seen for five days, and Labor's slide in the polls looks to have been arrested,” Mr Kenny said. “Much as they'd like, the Labor strategists can't hide Albanese for the rest of the campaign. “There's no reason he couldn't be doing endless television and radio interviews.”

The Australian’s Troy Bramston says Labor's campaign lacks a “cut through and clear message”. Mr Bramston said voters are ready to change the government but are not sold on Labor’s policies and key messages for change. "I do think Labor lacks a cut through and clear message for change,” he told Sky News Australia. “Labor needs to really focus on what their key message to voters, what’s the main case for change that’s going to cut through and register.”

Shadow Home Affairs Minister Kristina Keneally says Prime Minister Scott Morrison “ignored the warnings” and acted "too little too late" on the Solomon Islands-China security pact issue. “Now we have China on our doorsteps … with a foothold in the Pacific, and Scott Morrison is now trying to clean up his mess,” Ms Keneally told Sky News Australia. “I think what we’re seeing here is a Prime Minister chest beating and talking tough; it’s empty rhetoric coming from a government that has so mishandled these crucial relationships in our Pacific family.”
