Trade and Tourism Minister Simon Birmingham says there can be no justifiable reason for states that are handling COVID-19 well to maintain restrictions against one another. South Australia welcomes anyone from ACT, NT, Queensland, Tasmania and Western Australia without 14 days of self quarantine.
“It’s really problematic that some jurisdictions like the NT and SA have opened up to other jurisdictions like WA and Tasmania, but that’s not being reciprocated when all four of those jurisdictions have had remarkable success in suppressing Covid,” Mr Birmingham told Sky News. “We really want to see states and territories recognising parts of Australia that are doing well and open up borders in ways that are mutually respectful of one another.

Birmo This just shows Birmingham is an idiot. The reason they are doing well is because of restrictions and lockdowns. Something conservatives don’t understand because it goes against making the rich richer.
Birmo The COVID was a great test of our leaders on a global scale. They have all failed miserably Australia is the laughing stock of the world as far as these lockdowns and restrictions
Birmo Birmo? Fits well with the crap on SkyNewsOz.
Birmo And sky news is at it again, journalists inciting unrest
Birmo All those affected by these restrictions should begin LAWSUITS immediately , surely someone will be held accountable when this is all over

Australia potentially relying on foreign rice production is ‘laughable’: Alan Jones | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Alan Jones says the imminent collapse of Australia’s rice industry is purely a metaphor for a wider problem.\n\nIt was revealed on Monday, Australia’s total rice production is down 80 per cent.\n\nThe Chief Executive of Sunrice – one of Australia’s biggest rice producers – said the country is at risk of running out of rice by Christmas, as the company slashed a third of its workforce.\n\nMr Jones said this has been “an ongoing disgrace,” pointing the finger at the growing issue of Australian water allocation as a primary cause.\n\nAustralian farmers have not only had to suffer through drought, but given the nature of private water holdings, some have been unable to access the necessary resource to continue production.\n\n“We have the most productive and the most efficient rice industry in the world,” Mr Jones said.\n\n“The issue today is whether or not we’re going to maintain supply here by importing from Vietnam.\n\n“We’ll face the problem of having to import food from overseas. It’s laughable.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia AnnastaciaMP is credlin sucking scott morrisons dick now? how does tony abbott feel about that?

COVID is ‘not the only health crisis’ Australia is facing: Peta Credlin | Sky News AustraliaSky News host Rita Panahi says the preoccupation with one virus will lead to “a cancer crisis” with people not receiving critical prevention treatments as experts have warned.\n\n“People aren’t getting those cancer screenings, they’re not presenting for blood tests, they’re not getting that early intervention … and people at the end of their lives are not getting the care they should be,” she said.\n\nSky News host Peta Credlin said of course coronavirus is important but “it’s not the only health crisis we’re facing as a country”.\n\n“It’s just got out of control. It’s absolute tunnel vision here in Victoria.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia RitaPanahi host RitaPanahi says RitaPanahi This really is a national shame where is the PM? rogue premiers are bringing this country to its knees RitaPanahi Avoiding covid overloading the health system is what they were trying to into people's heads right at the beginning. Unfortunately some people at SKY are very slow learners. Brains cells too far apart? Not just cancer, all other medical treatments requiring hospitalisation.

South Australia opens borders to ACT | Sky News AustraliaSouth Australian Police Commissioner Grant Stevens has announced the state will open its border to ACT residents, however visiting New South Wales residents will still be forced to quarantine.\n\n“We are requiring people to make a declaration on their pre-approval, and we expect people to be honest,” he said.\n\nThe Police Commissioner said South Australia would “continue to monitor the performance of NSW as it relates to community transmission.\n\n“Ideally we’ll be looking for a 14-day period with no community transmission in NSW which would give us the comfort to remove that 14-day quarantine,' Mr Stevens said. \n\n“We are advised daily by health in terms of where we currently sit.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia So Canberraians will be beamed up and into SA without setting foot in NSW, dick heads Sounds suspect. Gotta move the news cycle past Morrison's shameful disrespect of the dead and their family. Heartless bastard. I'm sure the PM was happy to call in a favour from the SA Libs.

Illegal entrants to South Australia face fines, prosecution | Sky News AustraliaSouth Australia is lifting restrictions for travellers from the ACT from midnight on Tuesday.\n\nThe state closed its borders to all domestic travellers in March, requiring anyone who crossed the borders quarantine for a 14-day period.\n\nResidents from New South Wales and Victoria will still have to undergo quarantine upon entering the state.\n\nPolice have said they will be monitoring arrivals carefully to ensure people from New South Wales do not try and fly into South Australia via Canberra.\n\nAnyone found to have lied on declaration forms provided will face a $1,000 fine and possible prosecution.\n Is this Australia? Getting beyond ridiculous Looking forward to South Australia being a test case for allowing the virus to spread. Hopefully it won't kill too many of us. Not surprised the Premier didn't have the guts to announce the decision himself. the Cessna out of Canberra to Adelaide still won't be very full

‘Traumatised’ son tells of the ‘lack of compassion’ in Victoria’s funeral restrictions | Sky News AustraliaFather and son David and Danny Ross have told Sky News of the “trauma” experienced through their wife and mother’s funeral service under the incompassionate restrictions surrounding the ceremony.\n\nUnder Victoria’s harsh lockdown restrictions, only ten people are allowed to attend a funeral service, no matter the size of the venue, whilst attendees are forced to social distance.\n\nDanny Ross spoke to Sky News host Andrew Bolt about the effect the restrictions had on his mother.\n\n“She felt that she was trapped in her own home, in the end it got to her,” he said.\n\nHe said he knew the service would be tough but not as tough as it was when he was actually inside the church.\n\n“I was just sitting on my own in the service, thinking to myself, this is just crazy,” he said.\n\n“There’s my dad over there crying, and my sisters or myself couldn’t go over there and comfort him in his time of need, it was ridiculous.\n\n“When it comes to funerals, there was a trauma in the actual church itself. I was going through a trauma in the church in the service.\n\n“I wasn’t even thinking about the service, I was just thinking how pathetic this was.\n\n“For our family’s mental health and trauma through that, you can’t tell me there’s any compassion from the government when it comes to funerals.”\n\nAnyone who may be feeling distressed can contact the following organisations for support.\n\nSANE Helpline 1800 18 72 63\n\nLifeline 131 114\n\nBeyond blue 1300 22 4636 Everyone is going through this.

Premier Andrews $3b support package is 'propaganda' and 'no real solution' | Sky News AustraliaRestaurateur Chris Lucas says Victorian Premier Daniel Andrew’s recent announcement of a business support package is just 'more spin, more rhetoric, and more propaganda' but offers no real solution.\n\nVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews announced on Sunday a $3 billion support package for businesses in the state in a bid to keep them afloat during the lockdowns. \n\nBusiness leaders say the stimulus package won’t even touch the sides, given how hard the premier’s lockdown measures have hit businesses in Melbourne. \n\n'Worse still, the support he offered last time hasn’t even yet been delivered,' Sky News host Peta Credlin said.\n\n“These announcements are no different to what’s been going on for the last months, it’s more spin and more rhetoric, more propaganda, but no real solutions quite frankly,” Mr Lucas told Sky News. \n\n“The $3 billion headline figure, $1.8 billion of it is deferred payroll tax, which quite frankly most small businesses in Victoria at the moment are probably not paying anyway because they haven’t been open for the last seven months.\n\n“So you know, there’s just no real solutions here and quite frankly I think everyone’s getting sick of the spin.”\n\nImage: News Corp Australia DanielAndrewsMP Perhaps he can do without the support then! Sick of these whingers 😠 DanielAndrewsMP Chris Lucas is a wage thief DanielAndrewsMP And news limited has the solutions I watch you all. You have so much venom.....You are never happy !!!
