Australia to ‘marshal’ resources to save Victoria: PM | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison says every resource will be used to deal with the boom of COVID-19 in Victoria which recorded 75 new cases in the past 24 hours – the highest jump since March. \n\n“We have seven states and territories at the moment in Australia where there is no or virtually no community transmission,” Mr Morrison said.\n\n“What that means is resources that are available in other states can also be deployed to assist with the outbreak in Victoria.”\n\nMr Morrison said marshalling resources across states and territories was a topic of discussion last week.\n\n“Premier Andrews has the full support of myself and every premier and chief minister in the country to deal with this outbreak,” he said. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia ScottMorrisonMP lol, the 'boom.' Interesting choice of the words there, Sky. The anti-Murdoch brigade will be all over that. ScottMorrisonMP Shame the COVIDSafe app doesn't work and Scott Morrison lied about it working as an argument for lifting restrictions though, hey? ScottMorrisonMP Not a jump. This is the result of a testing blitz. And so what if many have this virus? It's like a bad flu. Surely many thousands more have it, maybe millions in Oz. No way you can eradicate this.

PM indicates live export producers could get compensation regardless of court appealThe Prime Minister indicates that cattle producers could be compensated even if the Government tries to quash a conviction that the 2011 live cattle export ban was invalid. Proof, if one needed it, that the PM is totally out-of-touch with most Australians who view this insidious practice as abhorrent and want it stopped.! PM will support the cruelty no matter what.. Bastards know it was and is cruel. It is indefensible. I hate anyone who supports or participates in this.

'I knew that Jonah was me': former Tongan schoolboy reveals anger and pain about Chris Lilley characterFor more than a decade, Filipe Mahe has never talked publicly about his connection to Jonah from Tonga. Nothing about how he felt 'embarrassed, full of hate, angry and exploited' when he first watched Chris Lilley's Summer Heights High | gmaddox gmaddox Truth hurts eh Filipe. gmaddox I wonder how the poor Irish feel? gmaddox “Mahe says his family and friends have always had no doubt that Jonah is based on him.” The ABC has a lot to answer for. That exploitative ABC documentary. Deliberately setting up a person for Lilley to create a character so stereotypical that the kid’s family recognise him.

'I knew that Jonah was me': former Tongan schoolboy reveals anger and pain about Chris Lilley characterFilipe Mahe, now 33, only watched Summer Heights High when he arrived back in Sydney from a trip in 2008 and took it personally. He said he was 'absolutely embarrassed, full of hate, angry and exploited' by what he saw. Hahahahahah. Does he realise that’s every Tongan in Australia? “Jonah” could be many Islander boys. Hence the humour. Comedy doesn’t work without offending people. Get over it. He’ll be ok toughen up cupcake
