‘Wariness’ over coronavirus threat shouldn’t be interpreted as ‘racism’ in Australia | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says there is a danger of sensationalising the coronavirus by media, pundits and politicians alike, who “instead of reporting the story, create the story”. \n\nMr Kenny said the coronavirus is an “epidemic [which] continues to be a fast-moving and dramatic story that is having an impact on this country and globally”. \n\nHe said while accurate and vigilant reporting of the virus is important, the media “need to be careful about creating panic and unnecessary alarm”. \n\n“Some politicians, activists and, it must be said, virtue-signalling journalists have been very eager to identify racism,” he said. \n\nIt comes as the Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy recently told Mr Kenny, “the reaction to the coronavirus had triggered racism in this country”.\n\nMr Kenny said “mainstream Australians” will take a “sensible” approach to this issue and the media shouldn’t misconstrue “wariness in society” over the virus as racism. \n\n“The danger in this situation is a familiar one: the media, instead of reporting the story, create the story, often on the back of anonymous social media reports, which in turn can be accepted as Gospel”. \n\nImage: Getty Help with treatment and immunization against the Coronavirus, (good for the face of God Almighty) _ putting the hand on the patient’s head and reading the verse of praise (the first verse in the Holy Qur’an), one condition faith in the words of God Almighty, not killing animals The Chinese government, lying, are not telling the truth.

First home buyers leading 'recovery of the Australian housing market' | Sky News AustraliaHousing Minister Michael Sukkar says first home buyers are leading the “recovery of the Australian housing market”. \n\nHe said the market was recovering, in large part, due to the thousands of people who took advantage of the federal government's scheme which allowed property to be purchased with a deposit of as little as five per cent. \n\n“At last count about 6,500 people who are at some point of the process in either getting their pre-approval, securing a guarantee or, in some cases, having already settled on a property,” he said.\n\nAbout half the applicants have their sights set on properties outside capital cities, which Mr Sukkar said the government designed “deliberately” so it wasn’t centric to Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane.\n\n“This could be very easily the type of scheme that gets used just in our major capital cities,' he said. \n\n“There was about half in our major capital cities, the other half outside.”\n\nMr Sukkar dismissed suggestions the $700,000 cap made it difficult to buy in major cities, but admitted, 'you’re no doubt looking at a fairly modest first home'. \n\nThe federal government initiative came into effect on January 1 2020. \n\nImage: Getty If a strong Trumpian leader were in charge this recovery would become a bonanza. housing minister?
