Greg Hunt has warned hugging someone not from your household could "sadly risk their life" as he calls for continued vigilance from all Australians as coronavirus numbers rise. The Health Minister warned "each one of us" through our actions could "save a life or inadvertently risk a life". "It could be your mum or your dad or your grandparents.

They're the people who could be most at risk from inadvertent transmission," Mr Hunt said. "What has occurred in Victoria is an acceleration of community transmission levels. "It is a serious situation in Melbourne. It is a level we're all concerned about, but right now, our task and responsibility is to give people advice and legitimate support." Image: Getty

Federal government won’t appeal live cattle ruling | Sky News AustraliaThe Morrison government will not appeal the Federal Court's ruling which declared the Gillard government's live export ban was illegal. \n\nAttorney-General Christian Porter said 'live cattle exporters were dealt with egregiously by the Gillard government.”\n\n“The Coalition government will not jeopardise the outcome they won in this case,” he said. \n\nLabor introduced the ban on live exports in 2011 after an ABC report showed widespread mistreatment of Australian cattle in some Indonesian abattoirs.\n\n It was illegal? Really where in the ruling did it say that? Think you mean unlawful. Typical of Sky bullshit news to embellish. Tacky!

'Bright future of Black Australia' slammed by activists wallowing in historical guilt | Sky News AustraliaAcclaimed novelist Peter Carey has joined a large group of 'moral crusaders' in slamming Australia's historical treatment of Indigenous people according to Sky News host Chris Smith.\n\nSpeaking on a podcast on the topic of Australia's colonial history, Mr Carey said Australia has 'racial guilt' because of our knowledge of 'genocide'.\n\nHis comment which “shames Aussies” for not acting on their supposed guilt, was not surprising given Mr Carey’s history of indigenous activism evident in his latest novel, 'Long Way From home' which focuses on indigenous dispossession, according to Mr Smith. \n\nHowever, Mr Smith pointed out “it was not the current population who committed such crimes” and there have been numerous attempts at reconciliation by the broader Australian community. \n\n“We have returned land to aboriginal communities; we join in, with various 'acknowledgments to country' at functions everywhere; and then there's the 30 billion dollars that contributes to the lives of all indigenous people, each single year”.\n\nMr Smith said in contrast to Mr Carey's pessimism and guilt tripping, indigenous leader Warren Mundine wrote this week Black Australia has a bright future and cited government supported programs helping indigenous communities rise out of poverty. \n\n“If Warren Mundine can do that, why can't Peter Carey”. \n We are all children of today He’s doing it to sell his new book, which funnily enough about the same topic. Books don’t sell if they don’t create hype! 2019-2020 Indigenous funding is $5.2 Billion divided by 728k equals a large amount of money for each indigenous recipient

More than 3,000 active COVID-19 cases a three-month high for Australia | Sky News AustraliaAustralia is infected with more than 3,000 active COVID-19 cases for the first time in three months.\n\nOf the new 3,090 cases, 2,970 of those are in Victoria. \n\nTasmania has also recorded its first case after more than two months.\n\nThe national death toll stands at 123.\n\nImage: News Corp Australia Thanks Dan... Can you ask victorian govt why if we are short of nurses that nurses are having hours cut by hospitals due to not having patients to treat seems ridiculous at a time when govt are telling us we need all the medical professionals that we can muster Australia? Puh-leeese. When 2970 active cases (out of 3000+) are from one state, it's a bit misleading to imply this is an Australian problem.

The devastating drought 'has gone off the agenda' in Australia: Dubbo mayor | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Chris Kenny says this time last year there was lots of talk about the drought in Australia but it must be remembered that now the hardship for our rural communities is far from over. \n\nMr Kenny said it is terrific to see some areas of drought and severe drought are now “shrinking away to the far west, as well as the south-east and north-east corners,” as opposed to being largely state-wide. \n\n“Most of NSW is still drought affected but encouragingly … areas of recovery are growing”. \n\n“So, we've seen rains, some progress, but there is a long way to go”. \n\nMr Kenny discussed the issue with Dubbo local Mayor Dan Shields.\n\nMr Shields told Sky News the drought affecting so many farmers has really 'got off the agenda'. \n\n'The affects of the drought and the ongoing economic problems have really gotten off the agenda of many media outlets'. \n\n'That's a bit of a shame'. \n\nImage: News Corp Australia \n Why don't you idiots at Rupert Goebbels News Corp not tackle the govt on its corrupt Murray Darling contracts, robbing Australian farmers of water for foreign money...
