Lawyers expect New Zealand mosque gunman will never be releasedThe sentencing of an Australian white supremacist who killed 51 Muslim worshippers in New Zealand and live-streamed the massacre, begins amid tight security in a Christchurch court. Why won't you refer to him as a terrorist? He is a far-right terrorist who committed an act of terrorism against Muslims which he has plead guilty to. I thought sbsnews would be prepared to report accurately and not mince words. auspol On what basis do you call him a white supremacist? Pretty terrifying precedent if you start not allowing media if the powers that be simply decide that it would be 'dangerous' that the public should hear certain ideas.... Can people not think even a few years into the future?

Victoria records 17 more coronavirus deaths and 208 new casesVictoria has recorded 208 new cases of COVID-19 and 17 more deaths, while the Melbourne set of reality singing contest The Masked Singer has been shut down after crew members tested positive.

A huge palm to face from all of us ( smack my head ), somebody was indeed an ignoramus ( sorry, that’s ignoranus ), I mean c’mon it was Stage 4 Lockdown, how could this be essential work ?
