The Australian Human Rights Commission is concerned about the lack of transparency in how emergency powers have been made legal during the coronavirus pandemic.

The impact of emergency powers on human rights must be given more attention, senators have been told.

She's concerned about the way some of the measures are made legal, particularly when processes are used that reduce transparency and allow rules to be changed after parliament has agreed to them.

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White And that is undeniable. How about segregation The media is working this 'right-wing extremists' angle to death. I guess when they are so far left that anyone right of Stalin is considered 'extreme right' it makes sense that the number of right leaning people has increased..prob 97% of the population in my estimates.

Guy Sebastian presses Scott Morrison about delay in rollout of $250m arts rescue packageGuy Sebastian has asked Scott Morrison to explain the delay in rolling out the $250 million coronavirus rescue package for the arts. It was revealed yesterday less than $50 million has been allocated. Does he feel like a mug for being used as a prop for another announcement stunt? What's happening with support for Universities? Completely different business model to schools, & they've been absolutely decimated during the pandemic. Prime Minister for announcements, but never the delivery. Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
