A coronavirus outbreak across nine public housing towers in Victoria has been linked to Black Lives Matter protests.

2min

Two attendees of the BLM protests on June 6 officially had their positive COVID-19 tests linked to a cluster at the locked down public housing towers. While health authorities conceded there was link between the protests and the towers, they would not confirm whether the positive cases were residents, visitors or close contacts. More than 3,000 residents across nine public housing towers were sent into hard lockdowns for five days after the state's caseload spiked to 240 cases on June 25.

Making shit up to suit right wing views. Sky isn’t news it’s privatised propaganda...

Haven’t Vic Health come out and refuted this? Very difficult to believe that 10k could gather and absolutely nothing comes from it. Stinks of a coverup for mine.

Yep, doesn't surprise me at all!

Don't ever forget the Ruby DUTTON Princess in NSW started COV19 in Australia - Not Dan Andrews

No it hasn’t. That is a lie.

Months ago, was pushing for an opening of Australia, like that promoted in the US. Now the SkyCronies are chastising DanielAndrewsMP, to distract from realDonaldTrump’s failure! And any discussion of the missing PeterDutton_MP..?!! IStandWithDan DefundMurdoch

Sydney and Brisbane had protests. Pathetic Sky news they fool there numbskull listens or do they wake up to Murdoch propaganda!!

Meanwhile, in the other Murdoch rag... Different truths for different markets.

This is fake news orchestrated propaganda from the Murdoch media. The Australian issued an apology when it was caught with its pants down lying about this but Sky continues to lie because its in your DNA to spread propaganda.

This protest has stuffed up ALL LIVES. AllLivesMatter

Filthy despicable lies. What a garbage network.

Thisisnotjournalism You will notice the first principle is TRUTH. You fail at the very first hurdle. Why Murdoch is allowed to publish this rubbish is because you are the cheer squad of the LNP. You should be closed down and the Murdoch influence in this country removed.

rubyprincess

Wrong

No shit

There were protests in every state, this outbreak would have happened regardless of Dan denouncing it. I’m a Lib and am super pissed at DanielAndrewsMP , but this one is a non issue for me. COVID19Vic vicpol

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

WHAT A HUGE SUPRISE?

I'm shocked

scrapping the barrel again, looking, praying and scrambling to misinterpret the slightest statement to reinforce and push its racist agenda.

Hard to believe ,isn’t it.

But I thought is wasn't possible. Only white people going to beaches and protesting against the shut down did it! Way to burst my bubble.

This news is RACIST!

Apologise. The Australian already admitted this is lies.

This can’t be right. Don’t you know BLM protestors have auto-immunity via their self-righteousness. This is more powerful than any vaccine of antidote.

Those are the idiots that caused the second wave

Great decision by DanielAndrewsMP & VictorianCHO to allow the protest to go ahead. viruslivesmatter

Oh dear how sad never mind

No it has not!

nyunggai '...no clear link...'

Australian journalism is an absolute disgrace and a joke. Inciting fear and panic unnecessarily. I hope there’s enough smart folk left out to not listen to this non fact based bullshit.

SkyNews lying again - gee, what a surprise. Has anyone ever told the truth in a Murdoch broadcast or publication? Didn’t think so.

Not surprised. The protest was allowed. Shortly after we have covid spreading. Pretty common sense to see how it happened.

God speed Mister virus do your thing.

It's the same in England 😷, BLM idiots 👍

Bollocks.

You mis-spelt RubyPrincess

Sack Dan Andrews!! You’re kidding yourself if you can’t see the link up, the spike happened straight after the protests, coincidence 🤔 you’ve ruined peoples lives 😡

hopefully natural selection does its job. reckless who are allowed to use to promote hatred.

More propaganda and lies 🙄 we need a MurdochRoyalCommission

Fake news crap 💩💩💩

Don't be silly, covoid-19 doesn't affect Marxist protesters.

murdochroyalcommission

Nina007bond What a surprise

Stating the bleeding obvious parading around as news.... ⬆️

Lol - lies.

That’s fucking fake news and you know it.

Who sponsors the culturalMarxists

The World Health Organisation still continues its deadliest COVID19 coverup in human history! The killer who work for Chinese Communist Party!

By whom? Names?

Just dirty scruffs

No shit!

. dedicated to Murdocracy’s 💯% lies.

It's Donald Trumps fault.

Suuuure it has..

But they were all wearing masks

No they haven't been. Stop talking bullshit again. Check your facts first.

No it hasn't

You did the linking, propagandists.

gjulianl

NO it HAS NOT !!! You LIE SKY NEWS .. AGAIN

This is just vile, you are trying to make connections for political purposes. You are trying to suggest that the outbreak in the towers was caused by the rally with no proof whatsoever

FO with your racist bullshit. This is a lie.

AvonandsomerRob Always going to happen.

Keep having more protests so we can all get sick, this was not the time to do any protest people we die from that god help us all

RubyPrincess RubyDutton BoycottMurdoch

That’s bullshit

No shit Sherlock. 🤦‍♂️

All of Victoria knew this. This story has only come out because wannabe Dictator DanielAndrewsMP couldn't contain the truth anymore.

Nope it hasn’t fact check much

The number of people infected by attending BLM protests has gone from zero last month to....zero this month 🙄

These people don’t follow the restrictions the front line people are screaming this

No surprises, we were told to social distance and not gather in groups. Hence not all family & friends at weddings & funerals, no honoring our ANZAC’s. All these people gathered close together, broke the rules & not one fine was issued. DoubleStandardsDan vicpol

AvonandsomerRob LIES. THIS IS CALLED MEDICAL FASCISM...

This is pure bullshit

Evil: hatred of the civil society and law abiding population caused majority to suffer hardship. BLM: Marxist totalitarian regime is hatred disguised in Labor

Who'd of thought

'OMG, I cant believe it!' said no one.

annaqueen2020 Dan Andrews will still blame the people who did the right thing and not the BLM protestors.

what health authority conceded any link I've seen no such announcement

and? Protesting against deaths in custody causes Coronavirus to spread ? Is that the conclusion? Murdoch publications never miss an opportunity to conflate for a rightwing agenda.

The day when the three doors opened is the time when the CCP perish!🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🏹🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠 Hong Kong virologist claiming coronavirus cover-up tells 'Bill Hemmer Reports': 'We don't have much time'

LivnUndaATyrant No shit Sherlock.

Surprised? Or expected?

Shock!!horror !!😩😩

SKY News lying agin...Where is the ACMA and the APC? Piss weak!

Do sky news people bash their heads against the wall before writing or is the head bashing just a hobby?

...and everyone of us who stayed home predicted this! This is an example of selfish, criminal behaviour by people who believe their own personal agendas are more important than deaths of people and the shutdown of the entire society.

The left, oh it's it's right wing propaganda, It's not in the GuardianAus That's poor excuse for a publication is always right, funny how they are always far left with their reporting too... They and Greens must be so proud by endorsing BLM rallies.

.Vagrant_Sam

63argyll How that can that be. We all know BLM protests Don’t spread kungflu. It’s not allowed.. auspol

It's good to know that the BLM protest achieved something, giving us stage 3 restrictions again...

I hope no more BLM

Shock, horror, it can’t be!

Is that really a surprise?

This shouldn't come as a shock, should it? Allowing BLM protests to happen but we can't go to the office. Makes sense 🤦🏽‍♀️

coming from sky news we now know that to be false like most of the utter bullshit you report as factual

Oh really now who would have thought that? Victorians spreading disease with the greatest of ease..

This is a COMPLETE LIE

Now watch Donkey Daniel try and cover it up... silly parasite 🦠

Duh...

Bullshit!

What happened to the 'woke' virus? It should know better according to CNN

FAKE MURDOCH SHIT.

Here’s some crap we made up

Oh goody, a double whammy of racism.. BLM *plus* public housing. COVID19Vic

But every other state had the marches,why didn’t they spread it?

FINALLY. !! Hopefully we will now start getting truthful answers.

Well it happens when you ignore such simple rules that is for your health and the health of others.

So the blame now has shifted to BLM. Tomorrow it will be something else!

And ScoMos genital hygiene

No it hasn’t

Linked by Sky News?

BeeSting Black Lives Scatter...germs all over Australia

Liars.

As if we didn’t think there’d be cases from the protests. Who knows really, how many of these people were carrying the virus & passed it on. They were told to isolate after the protests but did they? Of course they didn’t!

Selfish people.

All the same situation and spread method in US. Is it coincidence ?

This won’t get reported by The Project or the ABC!

And I bet it can be traced further back to some ship 🚢 in Sydney! 😡

Didn’t need to be a rocket scientist to see that happening.

Take away their centrelink payments and see how they like earning no money for a month when they shut down Melbourne by the end of the week! fuckers COVID19Vic COVIDIDIOTS

Who wooda thought ..🤷

You can probably link it to the First Fleet!

If this is true it’s infuriating.

How’s Andrews still in a job?

Oh but of COURSE it has Rupert 😒...of COURSE it has...🤦🏻‍♂️

Even though sky are only reporting a statement which was made by health authority's. Some still claim bullshit some even blame sky, go figure.🤔 I will go checkout ABC, maybe they can help clear it up with their report from the health authority's.

At last....

A bullshit outbreak of RWNJ assholery across all of Australia has been incontrovertibly linked to Sky News and every other Murdoch wankfest.

What no, I’m shocked.

Great to see the Facts coming out...now the lefties will b spiraling out of control as they just carnt handle any facts 😂😂👏👏

Victorian health officials released this information Sky isn’t the only media outlet reporting this

Interesting that some protesting at how unjust Australian society is are the recipients of free housing and welfare paid for by that same society. Inbitterment, ideological delusion and a sense of entitlement are literally, in this case, a toxic combination. auspol

bill_dobell Leftist lies matter x3

Of course it is. Everyone knew it would be

Sky, we don't report the News, We invent the News

Housing towers.. Surprised they'd go like sheep to the maxist blm

Progressive revelation of the truth by the bravest warrior scientist Dr. Yan. I hope people can feel the ominous warning between the lines. We are running out of time.

No doubt these are some of the ‘under investigation’ positive cases, of which there are hundreds, that you never hear about. The truth is finally coming out. Well done protesters! 👏👏👏 COVID19Vic

Lies.

There! I made it a little clearer for your readers who only read headlines.

Vic Gov, misleading & try to link it to Hotels

what was the non-PC saying 'Blind Freddy would have seen that coming' and there will be more in Sydney, Brisbane etc- given the incubation and spread rates of Covid-19. All it would have taken are a few to have been there to pass it on.

Linked, not caused. Read the detail from the CHO. Like the pub clusters in NSW. More dishonesty from Newscorpse SkyNewsFail. The Murdochvirus continues to spread... COVID19Aus COVIDIOTS COVID19Vic

This is excellent propaganda, even by your standards!

AusAntiLeft Da PROTESing ain't do NUFFN

Totally opposite to what the chief medical officer said. Sky news a disease worth eliminating

Yeah derrr

Al-Taqwa Abdul Mohamed not protected by Halaled Virus🤣😂😂😂

You know this is 100% false,a disgraceful beatup

What are you still banging this drum? Seriously, where were you when the anti 5G/vaxxer protests were going on?

Nonsense!

BLM weren’t only in Melbourne, so probably not

Believe the scientists/ health officers.... not the rusted on Wokeapaths posting their misdirection here.

'Crime on the rise' as NY Mayor pays tribute to Black Lives Matter on fifth avenue | Sky News AustraliaThe ‘All Lives Matter’ pro-police rally outside Trump Tower was held in response to Mayor Bill de Blasio’s failure to address the rising crime rate in New York, Daily Telegraph columnist Miranda Devine says. \n\nFollowing Black Lives Matter demonstrations, the Mayor slashed spending to the New York police department and introduced changes to disciplinary action for officers, despite a major rise in criminal activity. \n\nMs Devine said Mayor de Blasio “is doing nothing about the doubling in homicides going on”.\n\n“A one-year-old boy was shot dead last night in Brooklyn with a drive by shooting,” she told Sky News host Alan Jones.\n\n“This is happening all the time and something like six people were shot and killed in the last couple of days”.\n\nShe said Mayor de Blasio’s decision to paint a giant Black Lives Matter sign on 5th Avenue directly in front of Trump Towers was motivated by a desire 'to troll the president'.\n\nImage: Getty NYCMayor mirandadevine waste of time to comment on this shit NYCMayor mirandadevine All lives matter not just criminals lives julie_cappiello NYCMayor mirandadevine

Email 'links top Vic bureaucrats to hotel quarantine rorts' | Sky News AustraliaSenior bureaucrats within the Andrews government were reportedly notified that using private security firms to police Victoria’s hotel quarantine system would be problematic less than 24 hours after the program was launched. \n\nAn email from a top official in the Jobs Department- which regulated contracts with the private security firms – allegedly requested police assistance for overseeing the quarantine system - a request which was not met. \n\nHealth authorities linked a significant portion of the state’s surge in coronavirus infections to breaches in the hotel quarantine program after private security guards reportedly rorted the system and breached strict social distancing requirements. \n\nWhen probed about the matter on Tuesday, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews said it would be inappropriate for him to answer the question and it should be left to the judicial inquiry. \n\n“That’s not a matter for me to determine either in fact or to offer you an opinion,” Mr Andrews said. \n\nMeanwhile, the Premier revealed an agreement with the Prime Minister would see an additional 1,000 ADF personnel deployed on the ground in Victoria to assist with the health response. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia What a surprise. Dictator Dan with his Dictate over peoples lives attitude! resignDanAndrews DanielAndrewsMP DictatorDopey I note that the PM and Vic opposition did not raise any issues at all prior to the outbreaks .. as you know national border protection is a federal responsibility to manage
