Sky News host Rita Panahi says “Australians have watched their livelihoods destroyed in the name of public health” are “entitled to ask why there is one rule for them and another for race obsessed activists”. On Saturday tens of thousands of people took to the streets across Australia to take part in anti racism demonstrations, spurred on by the death of unarmed black man George Floyd in the United States.

“Australia devotes more than $30 billion a year for services for indigenous Australians”. “There are a plethora of programs exclusively to those who identify as indigenous, from free dental care to a range of financial assistance to preferential treatment via admission schemes for schools and universities,” Ms Panahi said. “These programs are designed to help indigenous Australians succeed.

JNampijinpa RitaPanahi I believe these people truly are loving the drama, excitement, saying they did something, want a fight etc. Go to a animal refuge, or work with the homeless. Do something constructive. No One is listening to the mass protests as they get ugly and lose traction.

OneNationAus RitaPanahi It is embarrassing to see so many racists in one mob. They should be ashamed of themselves.

OneNationAus RitaPanahi Our political system should not be supporting racist activities.

PaulineHansonOz RitaPanahi ThankGod we have Pauline Hanson to standup for hardworking Australia.well said tonight on sky news Pauline your champion.

RitaPanahi RitaPanahi if the restrictions are reintroduced due to these fools then perhaps a class action by all hospo’s against responsible parties and government

RitaPanahi Wel Rita, you sure are stupid 🤷‍♂️

JNampijinpa RitaPanahi It’s just crap really. My kids can finally play sport again. I have to drop them off in the carpark not allowed to leave the car Not allowed to watch or anything or even wait in the carpark. Have to just leave them But screw it let’s get 10000 people together on a hijacked cause

RitaPanahi I am a black man living in Australia. I am not aboriginal I am African from Ethiopia born in Kenya. I see no white man oppressing the aboriginal people's. I see aboriginal people's doing it to themselves in the city.

PaulineHansonOz RitaPanahi I don’t think the people that protested, are race obsessed activists more like justice activists as I saw only one race protesting & they all looked like they be humanrace

RitaPanahi Mainstream media sheeple herded up. 📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺📺

PaulineHansonOz RitaPanahi 'race obsessed activists'? Wow. You really do show your racist, xenophobic true colours sometimes.

PaulineHansonOz RitaPanahi The Murdochracy of it all . Keep Protesting Australia.

PaulineHansonOz RitaPanahi I feel if I sneeze these days they will label you racist

PaulineHansonOz RitaPanahi Words cannot express enough and Twitter would not allow me to express how much I despise and loathe the idiot palachook AnnastaciaMP . May she soon gets the karma she rightfully deserves!

PaulineHansonOz RitaPanahi Anything to destroy the West , that’s what it’s ALL about. They won’t be happy until we have ‘South Africa’ in Australia 🇦🇺

RitaPanahi Can we Ask the Appeal court Judge? They’ve legally set a precedent.

RitaPanahi Madness! What is the scenario if one person at this rally contracts the Wuhan Virus This sure is the best test for this virus. Lets hope this is over as the country just don't want a slam dunk back to the future and 'play it again Sam' Everyone's life matters.

RitaPanahi Because decent people don’t cause trouble i& protest and these fools do. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. I suppose the benefit is it may develop some her d resistance to disease or tragically a major outbreak May result ruining it for all

RitaPanahi That is assuming they are race obsessed & not simply jumping on a conveniently passing 'destruction to entire Capitalist/Western values system' bandwagon... Or adolescents in search of validation.

RitaPanahi The real problem is that the minority commit the majority of all violent crimes. With the majority of violent crimes committed by repeat violent offenders.

RitaPanahi Yep because mylifematters

SacredGeoInt RitaPanahi Where was the reports on the Great Awakening marches Australia wide?

RitaPanahi Token black employed by fox, should along with the ugly dumb blokes at fox be locked in the bunker with Trump

browncoat5757 RitaPanahi The virus took the long-weekend off. It will restart on Tuesday

RitaPanahi *Socialist Activists*

RitaPanahi 0.235% of Australia's population turned up for protests Putting at risk 99.86% of Australia's population who respected Government Instructions & did NOT turn out for protests Shame on protestors selfishness & hatred towards their fellow Australians

RitaPanahi

MRobertsQLD RitaPanahi

ClimateDepot RitaPanahi Same in New Zealand under socialist PM Ardern who has just gifted over $30m to Gates for 'vaccine research'!

MRobertsQLD RitaPanahi Because this is life and death for indigenous people... literally!

JWSpry RitaPanahi What’s with them holding skate boards? Are they weapons?

RitaPanahi Can't wait til Elon Musk colonizes Mars. 1 ticket holder thanks !

RitaPanahi They are race obsessed because racism has caused more harm than covid - 19 will ever will!!!!

MRobertsQLD RitaPanahi Completely agree with Rita and common sense must prevail.

adamseconomics RitaPanahi No....they want activists to die, they are a political pain in the arse.

RitaPanahi RitaPanahi the WA Premier MarkMcGowanMP has killed our WA economy, jobs and helped to increase suicide rates yet he is promoting a fake race protest in the Perth CBD. This guy needs to be help accountable and losing his job is not enough!

RitaPanahi Well Rita you should know by now .... There is one rule for us ! And NO RULES for them The left do not respect the rule of law

RitaPanahi Moron millennials

sedgleysue RitaPanahi If one of my family die from Covid because of a second outbreak. I will be suing the government and BLM people.

RitaPanahi Fair question.

RitaPanahi If there is not a second wave of corona then there was no corona in the first place no way can that many people gather in a pandemic imagine Spanish flu or tb or the plague? Everyone would be carriers now

RitaPanahi The activists have had all year prior to Covid, and all of last year to have their demonstration and yet they decide to all become “woke” this week.

RitaPanahi Before you can have equality, you must have equality before the law. You can't apply health orders to weddings, funerals, and national holidays but not to protests. Otherwise, you can't have equality. Leftist = hypocrites.

RitaPanahi Send these kids to any country in Africa or ME for a year and then ask them what is the meaning of oppression. These privileged kids have no idea how lucky they are.

JustLQQk RitaPanahi That question will never be answered. This is all planned. A racial and establishment uprising is way more affective.

RitaPanahi Exactly Rita. Thanks for bringing this Sheer hypocrisy. Thousands of people can attend BLM protests & yet thousands of business go broke & a million lives are ruined due to being unemployed! Who's listening to the so-called experts now?

RitaPanahi nicky_lew_25

RitaPanahi What about all the white's who have died in police custody? More white's have died in police custody than blacks, but nobody speaks out about that, do they?

RitaPanahi Qantas can't fly, bleeding money, staff can't earn an income, pay their mortgages, the Government is crippled by financial handouts, can't farewell loved ones at funerals yet 10,000s can stand side by side to march. This is disrespectful to all who are suffering under COVID-19.

RitaPanahi

RitaPanahi What hypocrits you are at Sky News. Rita has a lot of Covid 'Alarmist' reports calling out too stringent lockdown laws but when people want to protest against racism, she objects. .Twitter, Sky News is well reported to promote racism, homophobia and climatedeniers.

RitaPanahi left wing garbage

RitaPanahi One tends to get 'race obsessed' when repeatedly on the receiving end of systemic racism and its consequences. Just as you, dear Rita, are so obsessed with your pay packet that you're willing to defile yourself by serving as a compromised propaganda mouthpiece for Murdoch.

RitaPanahi Because our politicians are spineless wimps when it comes people who scream racism, Islamaphobia and homophobia. They don’t give two flying fooks about the silent majority

RitaPanahi Tis a question that shan’t be asked

RitaPanahi She's absolutely correct, Rita rocks!

ajphelo RitaPanahi Get this right protestors : Why no protest when Chinese virus killed thousands and thousands people! It is Chinese virus that hurt our economy! It is Chinese virus that we can’t attend weddings, funerals, Easter pray! It is CCP that funds Antifa! Go n Protect against China!

RitaPanahi

RitaPanahi Gold star hypocrisy here. A bunch of right wing tin foil hat brigade of conspiracy theorist nut jobs protest lock down laws and 5G, not a word from Murdoch's minions. When tens of thousands protest the slow murder of a prone, compliant black man, cue the outrage. m

RitaPanahi Rita thinks she knows better than experts in their field. No wonder I never watch her.

RitaPanahi The female in Sydney holding her baby whilst protesting a few weeks back who was arrested should sue the fuck out of GladysB

RitaPanahi Deport europeans back to europe!

RitaPanahi have you been to a shopping centre recently?! HYPOCRITES

RitaPanahi Because it suits the agenda being played out..... Think... It's not hard to see who is behind the movement, who funds BLM and Antifa. The world is a stage and we are all being played, it's up to you to see how, and not play anymore. Information warfare on the mind

RitaPanahi

RitaPanahi Lock them all up. And don't forget Federal and State Governments. 💥ALL 💥 OF 💥 THEM 💥 ALL BLM morons are NAZIS, without realising it, what they are doing. With THESE people, Australia is doomed. Lucky Country , huuh?

RitaPanahi Race obsessed activists!!!! Ffs

RitaPanahi Since those selfish protesters were not fined for breaking rules, those who were fined in the past weeks because of breaking social distancing and self isolation rule during the Covid-19 pandemic should be able refuse to pay their fines and take it to the court if have to.

RitaPanahi 1000s temporary residents are watching their lives and homes getting destroyed. ScottMorrisonMP AlanTudgeMP PeterDutton_MP NickMcKim letuscomehome

RitaPanahi Some keep mentioning the 5g protests. That was 200 to 300 people not 10,000 plus, no comparison.

RitaPanahi Rita Panahi was strangely quiet during the conservative anti-lockdown protests a week ago

Nobody111856428 RitaPanahi Gee .... now they ask....sigh...

RitaPanahi Hear hear RitaPanahi Hit the nail on the head. This Supreme Court ruling says to me the entire shutdown was illegal.

RitaPanahi Panahi brays at her lowest common denominator again

RitaPanahi Is this a Sky cameraman at the Central station attack by police. Why is only 1 media outlet allowed to be present. Most journalists were kept out by police and prohibited from filming. Why was that. Set up

RitaPanahi What race does she belong to after all?

RitaPanahi And where these morons when an unarmed Australian white woman got blown away by a black police officer while running down the street in her nightie seeking their help? where's her justice? why is her life worth less than Floyd's (a known felon by the way)? Blklivesmatter

RitaPanahi Losers and underachievers with nothing better to do

RitaPanahi have no fear those 'race obsesses activists' are only just waking up to the REAL criminals like the Banking cartels/Corp parasites who caused the meltdown and those running a protection racquet for them, the MSM and GOV...tik....tok!

RitaPanahi Well at least the protesters are proving the COVID hoax is over and that SocialDistancing is no longer relevant.

RitaPanahi So the marches and protests have happened. Anything changed?

RitaPanahi Cause no government has the balls to take on a large crowd

RitaPanahi Because 250 years they are treated inhumanly it’s is time their voice is heard. I never in my life went to demonstrations but I did yesterday. I don’t hear from Sky news and Rita Panahi condemning Rio Tinto for destroying the most secret site of indigenous people.

RitaPanahi We can see the govts abject racism, thru their plan to thin out indigenous Aussies by allowing them to congregate and be exposed to a lethal virus, while ensuring everyone elses safety with restrictions enforced by law. Disgusting

RitaPanahi RitaPanahi seems to be the only one in sync with the mojority of Aussies. FakeNewsMedia certainly isn't.

RitaPanahi Bacon Lettuce and Mayo.....yummy

RitaPanahi “If there’s no pushback what may seem extreme today will be normalised tomorrow' - Today's apparent lunacy is the new low tide line for tomorrow's next claim

RitaPanahi seriously though, wtf does george floyd have to do with australia anyway...? lmfao

RitaPanahi exactly!

RitaPanahi Exactly - lockdown is OVER!!!

RitaPanahi This is disgust happening in Australia. It’s A SOROS PAID EVENT TO DESTROY OUR COUNTRY

RitaPanahi It’s about equity and equality you dunces.

RitaPanahi Because they were afraid to be seen as racists. Because of the political correctness bulls..t. Because we are dominated by activists...

RitaPanahi Absolutely. They’ve used up whatever goodwill they had. What they’re complaining about didn’t happen overnight. They’ve had ample time to protest, so why now as we’re trying to get out of this fking pandemic

RitaPanahi

RitaPanahi Because we have weak kneed, undecisive politicians whose only aim is political correctness. The net result is that the social distancing rule is now useless and should be abandoned in the national interest.

RitaPanahi Ahhhh....look at the merry go round of media created hyperbole look to seperate good from evil, right from wrong, malevolence and benevolent. People are sick of division, but hey I guess there's no money in unity and the effort required to forge it.

RitaPanahi The many people fined for not social distancing are entitled to ask for a refund.

RitaPanahi Tell me again how these protests help the indigenous communities.

RitaPanahi has been consistently critical of COVID-19 restrictions but does a complete 180 when people flout those restrictions in the name of social justice and racial equality.

susanzh77455188 RitaPanahi “Entitled to ask”...😏smh

RitaPanahi not opposed to peaceful protest but not during pandemic. we've endured isolation, been deprived of liberty and punished financially for the common good yet protest attendees, because of their protected political persuasion, have been blatantly favoured. resentment understandable

RitaPanahi Two sets of rules..... Vote them out please

RitaPanahi Almost made sense until she called them race obsessed.

RitaPanahi All fucken politics... they want the votes of the mob to win the next elections

RitaPanahi her 5g ppl got to protest without problem. whats she on about

RitaPanahi WAKE THE HELL UP!! “While conservatives have been napping the Left has captured every public institution & now much of the corporate world, including the bulk of the media. “If there’s no pushback what may seem extreme today will be normalised tomorrow.”AusPol

RitaPanahi Exactly! that's what socialism is about, then it becomes CCCP!

RitaPanahi Exactly.

RitaPanahi Black deaths in custody? How many Indian or Pakistani deaths have been recorded in Australia? They're black. But then again they don't commit as much crime or neck themselves if arrested.

Valid question.

RitaPanahi Forget the lockdown and it’s rules - go about your normal life. The hoax is exposed, it’s over. Go see your friends, en masse.

RitaPanahi If there are no clusters of outbreaks after these protests then we trashed our economy unnecessarily. Open everything up. Back to normal. If borders (international) are closed virus can’t get in. After 3-4 weeks can’t be any community transmission.

RitaPanahi No, they are entitled to ask why Sky was indifferent to the 5G protests, but not support those in relation to equality. Hypocrisy.

RitaPanahi The desperates have been locked down for months. They would protest the opening of an envelope at this point. Cut them some slack.

RitaPanahi Garbage tweet

RitaPanahi Protecting racism.

RitaPanahi BLM matter huh? But these people are using Iphones, which come from China, where human rights injustices are rife. The phones and cheap shit they wear is made in China, by people who are suffering so much they install suicide nets on the buildings they work in.

RitaPanahi Because of the Anti-White narrative. You can tackle old whites who protest -but not the Blacks...
