Disturbing photo shows Sydney patrons breaching COVID guidelines | Sky News AustraliaFears of a second wave of the deadly coronavirus sweeping Sydney have been fuelled by a photo of dozens of pub patrons brazenly ignoring safe distancing guidelines.\n\nThe picture – snapped outside the Golden Sheaf Hotel in Sydney’s eastern suburbs last night – shows a long line of booze-hungry punters crammed closely together, risking thousands of dollars in fines for breaking the rules.\n\nHealth experts have ordered people to keep 1.5 metres distance to stop the spread of coronavirus.\n\nIn a statement to Sky News, Solotel Group CEO Justine Baker said their hotel was abiding by NSW Health guidelines and had worked with police to dispel the crowds.\n\nShe said Golden Sheaf would now only accept bookings on Wednesday nights from 8pm and extra staff would be rostered on.\n\nPolice Minister David Elliott said businesses found to be flouting public health orders could face a penalty of $55,000 or a $5,000 on-the-spot-fine. Oh well The BLM protests were much worse than this photo of people lining up for a pub... Where is your article about BLM protesters 'brazenly ignoring safe distancing'?

Alan Jones speaks to the ‘oldest living Socceroo,’ 93-year-old Alan Garside | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones speaks to Australia’s oldest living Socceroo, who like Mr Jones is also the son of dairy farmers, as he shares another story about “a great Australian”.\n\nAlan Garside, born in 1923, began playing soccer as an 11-year-old in 1937, before joining the Granville Kewpies’ under 18s as a 15-year-old striker.\n\nIn 1952 Mr Garside remarkably scored 53 goals in only 24 games forcing his way into the national team as selectors could not ignore his prolific scoring, and in 1953 he was selected as the 148th ‘Socceroo’ against China.\n\nHe only played five games for the Socceroos including matches against South Africa in 1955 before a leg injury and family life shortened his career.\n\nMr Jones said the best part of this story is that “through all this incredible achievement (Mr Garside) was the local milkman”.\n Alan, It was a fantastic segment to have Alan & Bozza on the show. We have these wonderful sportsmen & women & we don’t pay them as much homage as we should & earlier you had Tim Paine on the show. It was fantastic & hopefully you’ll have similar segments in future. AlanJones Alan_Herbert_Jones Alan Jones should be right at home in this assignment. Looks like SKY has brought him in to cater for the geriatric audience. Andrew Bolt is too much of a premature grumpy old man for the geriatrics.

Pressure mounts on Andrews govt over controversial security guard links | Sky News AustraliaPressure is mounting on the Victorian government to come clean on why it hired security officers, instead of using police or the army, to lockdown quarantine hotels.\n\nThe Andrews government has so far shielded \titself behind a judicial review to avoid answering tough questions about the debacle. \n\nThe Coalition is pointing the finger at a cosy relationship between Victoria’s unions and its Jobs Minister Martin Pakula.\n\n“The National Union of Workers recently merged with United Voice who are the union that represents all the security guards,” state Liberal MP Tim Smith told Sky News.\n\n“So it is somewhat ironic the jobs minister in charge of hotel quarantine gives it to security guards that are represented by what is now his union.”\n\nFederal Liberal MP Tim Wilson told Sky News “you have a state government who is more interested in making sure companies that hire their union mates took precedence over the health of Victorians.”\n\nMore than 60 COVID-19 cases are linked to outbreaks amongst security guards from two Melbourne Hotels.\n\nMr Pakula refused an interview with Sky News.\n IT IS NOT WHAT YOU KNOW OR EXPERIENCE YOU HAVE IT IS WHO YOU KNOW & WHO HAS POWER MONEY & CONTACTS Because Black Lives Matter. He never names his mates.
