Tehan warns of economic hit if virus 'breakthrough' delayed | Sky News AustraliaEducation Minister Dan Tehan has vowed to work with the education sector as he concedes if there is not a breakthrough with the coronavirus the economic impact on Australia will be “significant”. \n\nAn estimated 56 per cent of Chinese international students remain outside of Australia, forced to miss out on the first weeks of the semester after the government issued a ban on travel from individuals from mainland China in order to contain the spread of the coronavirus. \n\nMr Tehan said he hoped for “some sort of breakthrough” in the coming weeks, telling Sky News the next two to three weeks will be “absolutely crucial”. \n\n“My hope is we will see some sort of breakthrough and we will be able to get students here before the end of the first semester,” the education minister said. \n\n“There will be no question if the coronavirus continues, and we can’t get students here for the first semester – and God forbid – we couldn’t get them here for the second semester, that will have a significant economic impact.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia

Australia's response to coronavirus described as 'racist and sinophobic' | Sky News AustraliaOutsiders host Rita Panahi says the “prudent measures” Australia is taking to stop the spread of the coronavirus are being described as “racist and sinophobic”.\n\nMs Panahi said “a number of countries including Singapore, Iraq and Indonesia have taken similar measures to Australia and the US in banning all foreign travellers who have recently been to China”.\n\n“It's curious that the usual race-obsessed simpletons save their biggest criticism of the coronavirus response for countries like Australia and the US instead of China whose own citizens are risking harsh sanctions by speaking out about the outbreak,” she said.\n\n“Are the Iraqis being racist and fanning 'white supremacy' by closing their border to non-citizens who have recently been in China?\n\n“It would be profoundly stupid to uncritically accept what the totalitarian government of China tell us about the outbreak, or anything else for that matter.”\n\nImage: Getty These prudent measures are quite sensible considering the virus does seem to be ethno specific at this stage. 🤣🤣🤣Rita Panahi says...🤣🤣🤣 By whom? Names and quotes, please.
