There is growing unrest among the thousands of public housing residents who have been forced into lockdown amid Melbourne’s coronavirus outbreak.

A 32-year-old man allegedly tried to bite a police officer while attempting to flee his home in Flemington, the city’s north-west.

Residents inside the towers complained limited communication and poor quality of care contributed to unlivable conditions. In the state’s darkest day since the coronavirus outbreak, 127 new people were diagnosed with the virus and two people died on Monday, taking the state’s death toll to 22.

Send in Tim smith mp to sort out the restless public housing residents. He likes law’n’order, so see what he can do.

It’s kinda like, they want Aussies to riot. It’s just a feeling I have.

Why unrest? Everything, I mean everything is given to these people... money for nothing and rent for free... I isolated at home and got NOTHING...

Well they would've voted for the dictator, so they have no one else to blame but themselves.

How Will they all still be able to get to and keep there jobs

Since when has Sky worried about people who live in public housing . About people who have 5,6,7 children. They are living rent free for 2 weeks . 1,500 dollars for every one . 3 meals a day plus essentials. They can also shop on line if they wish to pay their own way .

It's damn right creepy!

Obviously, community transmission of covid is now rife in Vic and the premier is responsible due to poor decisions that have been made in the past month! Now he is engaging in a butt covering exercise making the disadvantaged who live in the housing blocks the scapegoats.

The virus doesn’t scare them half as much as a over reaching RULERS,

Australia has ‘demonised coal fired power’: Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaTo secure Australia’s international strategic advantage, the best thing the country could do is to become a “global energy superpower” according to NSW One Nation leader Mark Latham.\n\nSky News host Alan Jones spoke to Mr Latham and Nationals Senator Matt Canavan about how Australia in recent years has “demonised coal fired power”.\n\n“Yet we’ve got hundreds and hundreds of coal fired power plants being built around the world,” Mr Jones said.\n\nMr Latham said coal and energy is one of the most important strategic questions for the Australian economy.\n\n“The immediate smart thing we could do is to become a global energy super power (because) we flourish in coal, nuclear, gas, renewables if they could hold their weight”.\n\n“That should be Australia’s international strategic advantage, reliable power, cheap power, and manufacturing jobs”.\n\nMr Canavan said if Australian coal was “good enough for the Chinese to use” then why isn’t it good enough for Australians to use.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia I'm glad you consulted an expert on this. Oh wait... You couldn't even consult a party with an ounce of inteligence I bet Alan enjoyed that. He probably couldn't contain himself beneath the desk! Alternatively, we could deploy kangaroos with frickin' laser beams on their head.

US media becoming ‘de facto propaganda arm’ of Democratic party | Sky News AustraliaThe media’s response to President Trump’s Fourth of July speech shows they are actively campaigning against him, according to Sky News host James Morrow.\n \nDonald Trump has blasted 'angry mobs' trying to tear down statues as he claimed protesters are attempting to 'wipe out' US history in a speech to mark America's Independence Day.\n\nThe US president addressed more than 7,000 supporters at Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.\n\nHe also criticised 'cancel culture' - which he claimed was 'driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters, and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees' - and branded it 'the very definition of totalitarianism'.\n\n'This attack on our liberty... must be stopped and it will be stopped very quickly,' President Trump said.\n\nMr Morrow said many media outlets, including the Times and CNN, deliberately misrepresented the President’s speech.\n\nHe said this desire to find fault with everything the President does shows they “have taken the gloves off in their fight to see Trump lose the November – to the point that they are now becoming the de facto propaganda arm of antifa and the Democratic party.”\n \n realDonaldTrump pwafork Ah yes, because Sky News and Fox and your Ilk are totally unbiased 😂 classic realDonaldTrump pwafork I suppose when the Democrats get in the Aussies will have no backup...And with China leaving it's gonna be austerity..... realDonaldTrump pwafork It's all ' fake news' lol

Facts and data do not support ‘apocalyptic environmentalism’ | Sky News AustraliaRadical environmental activists are scaring a whole generation of children to falsely believe the world is on the brink of an environmental apocalypse, according to environmental policy expert Michael Shellenberger.\n \nMr Shellenberger has released a new book, Apocalypse Never: Why Environmental Alarmism Hurts Us All, aims to debunk what he calls common myths surrounding the environment.\n \nIn his book, he argues humanity is not causing a “sixth mass extinction,” renewable energy is detrimental to the environment and carbon emissions are declining in most rich nations and have been declining in Britain, Germany and France since the mid-1970s.\n \nHe also argues while climate change is real, it is not the world’s most “serious environmental problem”.\n \nMr Shellenberger told Sky News he wrote his book to counter the myths advocated by those who have a vested interest in pushing “apocalyptic environmentalism.”\n \n“This book is dangerous to apocalyptic environmentalism,” he said.\n \n“When the facts and the data of this book are widely understood apocalyptic environmentalism can’t last, it can’t survive.\n \n“People want to protect endangered species, but they don’t want this push for social control so many apocalyptic environmentalists are demanding.”\n \n \n ShellenbergerMD Hahahaha the guy who puts MD in his name so people mistakenly believe he's a qualified doctor but it's just his initials 🤣 ShellenbergerMD Fear is control. Cultural Marxists favourite weapon. ShellenbergerMD He's kind of right, but mostly wrong. And if you read the book (doubt anyone at Sky has) you will see he says we need to follow the Paris Agreement and UNFCCC to the letter if we want to curb climate change. Also, I wonder how we explains what's happening in Siberia right now?
