Timeline

1962

Chris Kenny (born 28 September 1962) is an Australian conservative political commentator, author and former political adviser.

He is a columnist for The Australian newspaper as well as the host of a weeknight current affairs program, The Kenny Report on Sky News Australia.

Chris Kenny was born on 28 September 1962.

1984

He initially studied wildlife and park management in South Australia and worked for the National Parks and Wildlife Service as a fire-spotter and park assistant, before switching his studies to a BA in journalism in 1984.

His first journalism job was at the Murray Pioneer in Renmark.

He later worked for the Adelaide newspaper The News, ABC The 7.30 Report, Channel 10 and Channel 9 in Adelaide.

He also wrote columns for The Advertiser, Sunday Mail and The Adelaide Review.

2000

In 2000 he was appointed Director of Strategic Communications for South Australian Liberal Premier John Olsen, before serving as chief of staff to Olsen's successor as premier, Rob Kerin.

2002

Kenny was appointed media advisor to foreign minister Alexander Downer in 2002 and became his chief of staff in 2006.

2007

After the defeat of the Howard government in 2007, Kenny worked as a columnist for The Advertiser, as a television reporter for the Adelaide edition of A Current Affair, and as a talkback radio host for 5AA.

2009

In January 2009, Kenny was recruited as chief of staff to then-opposition leader, Malcolm Turnbull.

Kenny was Turnbull's chief of staff during the Utegate scandal but has written that he had no contact with Turnbull's mole Godwin Grech, resigning when Turnbull subsequently lost the Liberal leadership to Tony Abbott in 2009.

After leaving Turnbull's office, Kenny wrote opinion pieces and analysis for The Australian and ABC's The Drum, and appeared as a commentator on Sky News.

2010

In 2010 Kenny was appointed General Manager, External Affairs, for transport giant Asciano, but left at the end of the year to return to media work.

2011

He argued in July 2011 that Julia Gillard could not recover as prime minister, that Labor would lose and that Kevin Rudd could limit the extent of those losses.

2013

From 2013, Kenny has hosted Viewpoint and Friday Live on Sky News Australia, which are both opinion programs.

In September 2013, the ABC program The Hamster Decides broadcast a photoshopped image of Kenny having sex with a dog.

At the end of 2013, Kenny launched defamation action against the ABC program involved and one of its hosts, Andrew Hansen.

2014

Friday Live finished on 12 December 2014, replaced by a second weekly edition of Viewpoint.

Prior to these formats, Kenny hosted Saturday Agenda.

Kenny has two weekly columns in The Australian.

He relinquished his weekly column for Adelaide's Sunday Mail.

Following the 2014 Sydney hostage crisis, Kenny criticised the #illridewithyou campaign and the refusal of many to accept the Islamist motivation of the siege.

Kenny had been at the Lindt Chocolate Café, the scene of the hostage crisis, only minutes before it unfolded.

In April 2014, the managing director of the ABC apologised to Kenny for the incident, and expressed regret for "the delay in making this apology".

In June 2014, a ruling by the Australian Communications and Media Authority found that the skit was a potential source of "deep offence" to Kenny and others, and was "disturbingly bullying" in character.

As part of its settlement of Kenny's defamation suit, the ABC agreed to pay Kenny $35,000 and apologize to him on-air.

Kenny defended his conduct during the case, telling The Guardian that "I'll be remembered as the journalist called a dog f**ker who stood up for his rights".

2019

He has hosted afternoon and evening talkback radio on Macquarie Radio filling in for hosts such as Ben Fordham, Steve Price and Ross Greenwood, as well as hosting his own weekly Friday Feedback show until March 2019.

Kenny has appeared on ABC TV programs such as Insiders and Q&A alongside politicians and community figures.

He is currently a columnist for The Australian newspaper as well as the host of a weeknight current affairs program, The Kenny Report, and formerly, weekly media program, Kenny on Media, on Sky News Australia.

Kenny has been a vocal critic of Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) expansionism and alleged bias.

In November 2019, it was announced that Kenny would be one of 20 members of the Senior Advisory Group (SAG) to help co-design the Indigenous voice to government set up by Ken Wyatt, the Minister for Indigenous Australians under the Morrison government.

SAG was co-chaired by Wyatt, Marcia Langton, and Tom Calma.

Kenny has previously criticised Langton as being "aggressive" towards "perceived ideological enemies".

Kenny is a harsh critic of global warming alarmism, and climate change and energy policies but has never denied the science of climate change.

In 2021, after Prime Minister Scott Morrison started aiming for net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and his employer News Corp changed its position on climate change (having previously denied its existence), Kenny wrote that the founder of the Liberal Party, Sir Robert Menzies, would be "turning in his grave", claiming that "expansion of government power" was responsible for News Corp's change in direction.

In the lead-up to the 2023 Australian Indigenous Voice referendum, Kenny supports the Yes campaign, saying that the No campaign is "overwhelmingly based on fear".

He has been criticised by his fan base for his stance, although not by his colleagues at News Corp.

2020

In 2020, he referred to the Australian public broadcasters ABC and SBS as the "enemies of the people".
