This Sky News presenter’s fury at Labour’s election win in Australia is unintentionally hilarious
Labour won the general election in Australia and it’s fair to say Sky News isn’t taking it well, they really aren’t taking it well at all.
Anthony Albanese is the country’s new prime minister, ousting Scott Morrison who has since resigned as leader of the Liberal party.
And if you’re wondering just how disappointed Rupert Murdoch’s Sky News was at the prospect of a Labour government, just have a listen to this.
It’s 90 seconds of Sky News commentator Rowan Dean and it’s quite the listen.
After their company-wide campaign to prevent the election of a Labor Govt, the Murdoch monopoly isn’t taking it well. Just take a look at Murdoch’s positioning for the next 3 years. pic.twitter.com/33Y8mvN5pB

The clip went viral after it was shared by another former Australian PM, Kevin Rudd. And here are just a few of the things people were saying about it.

At 0:34 old Curly claims to believe in instant karma which isn't really true because if instant karma was truly a thing, a semi-trailer would have driven through the studio right about that point. https://t.co/98k6q4xSiM
