it occasionally covers it, though usually only when it has some impact on a wider story as it has tiny audiences, about 20,000 viewers for their top rating show.
though it does like to end on a lighter note after a heavier piece, and sky-after-dark provides plenty of fodder for that in a fish/barrel sort of way
I should add that sky news Australia is still owned by murdoch's news corp, while sky UK got bought out by Comcast in 2018, which accounts for much of the editorial divergence
